Monday, January 17, 2010: Amazing Clouds



It took a lot of bracketing to get these shots. Bracketing is when you take a shot and then two more--one that is one stop above and then another below the original f stop. This is a good technique to use to make sure you get the best exposure.

Wednesday, October 13, 2010: Silver Strand

These photos were taken at Silver Strand beach. I love how quiet this beach is and I tried to capture that feeling in the photos.

The range of color in this shot is amazing.
I am proud of how well this exposure came out with all the reflection here.
Despite the camera lens being knocked out of place, I like effect it can add to shots. Here I used it to frame in a simple shot, and the composition turned out much more interesting.
Solitude
I love the detail despite the harsh reflection here.

Tuesday, October 12, 2010: PB Pier

I chose to post this shot because I really liked my use of shallow depth of focus. I love the effect it gives to the background and how it adds to the intensity of the foreground.
An adorable pair...
I am really proud of how I now know my camera well enough to correctly expose the reflection on the water. To do this with an SLR you would likely use a filter. I have a DSLR so I just have to adjust the setting for beach/snow shots.
Again good exposure despite dark silhouettes and the intense light of the setting sun.
I like how I was able to catch the motion of the waves and frame in the shot with the pier. This photo was NOT cropped. Just good composition ;D
Same technique used here as in the water shots. Sand reflects a lot of light, so correct exposure is important.
