Sometimes when you leave your tripod at home, all you can do is work with what you have and put the camera on the hood of your car. My lack of a tripod though, left me with limited vantage points from which to make the picture. Note to self……always have tripod in car. TIA for [...]

DP120: Silhouettes & color
Posted in Landscape, Night Photography, tagged landscape on November 13, 2010 | 8 Comments »
I’ve decided to make a concerted effort at landscapes. I like the vibrant colors here . It’s amazing the amount of color there is in near darkness. TIA for your comments.
DP116: Solitary watcher

I was looking for a sunset shot, but I was a little late. I also took some shots without anyone in the image, but all the ‘action’ was in the sky and I did not just want a picture of the sky. I figured if I included someone in the foreground, it would add a [...]

I’m planning a drive to Great Falls VA on Saturday morning so I’m practicing my long exposure. I’m going to great falls because I want to get some nice water images, so hopefully I’ll get some interesting shots. TIA for your comments. Edit; based on the very first comment I actually went back and cropped [...]
DP24: Red moon

We are currently in the first quarter of the moon phase. It is always interesting to me that in order to take a picture of the moon, you need a fast shutter speed. Intuitively it makes little sense to me, but technically it does, since the moon is so bright. I used topaz adjust to [...]

I found this old caboose on tonight’s picture hunt. Where I live, there is a thriving antiques district and this old car fits right in. This was close to 9 tonight and I used a 5 second exposure at ISO 200. I used topaz adjust to give this “artistic” look (at least I think it’s [...]

Tonight I tried playing with light. I spent about 2 hours trying to come up with a creative shot. This is not the most creative shot, but I did figure out how to make the background ‘disappear’. I even had some assistance from my 4 year old. She held my flash in different positions and [...]

I made it to day 10. I’m into double digits now…:) I decided to try out a night shot this time. As part of this journey to improve, I am also including reading. I’ve bought some books over the past few months, so I am making a conscious effort to read more photography material in [...]
