    I would add two things about HDR. The camera must be set to EV (exposure value) mode, and use the lowest ISO to reduce noise. When I shoot landscape I set my f-stop to F11 and focus about 1/3 into the image. It works for me.

HDR Photography     HDR photography, HDR stands for high dynamic range.  The human eye has an incredible ability to adapt and see different intensities of light in a lot wider spectrum than does the camera sensor.     When we photograph a scene where there are areas that are beyond the capable range of the camera, the camera will under/over expose the photograph. A good example of this would be the inside of a church. You photograph the inside of the church, and the inside of the church is properly exposed, but windows where the sunlight is coming through are completely blown out (white and without detail).  This makes your photograph look unappealing.     An HDR image can correct this, making your photograph look natural as you probably saw it the moment you took it.     How do we create an HDR? First and foremost you need a tripod. The camera must be perfectly still. A...

A Tiny Wonder: my Canon G12 Update

Image
Today I continue on my quest, testing the Canon G12. I was able to get out to Key Biscayne and do some shooting. At the Dinner Key Marina and Kendall Metro Rail Station, I shot  video using the miniature effect (tilt/shift) filter. The filter is pretty cool and easy to use. A lot of the video setting are automated, but the camera does a very nice job. I shot this video in 640 on tripod. I also took several photographs with the camera set to aperture priority, most were shot at F8.  I am really enjoying this camera. It is very light to carry around, but does produce the good quality images and video Below are several images I shot today. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.  In the mean-time Please keep shooting!!!

Carribean Cruise, Harmony of the Seas.

Image
After a long time I am back on the blog.  As you all know I love cruises. Cruises are a great vehicle for photography. These are some of the images I captured on a recent cruise I took to the Eastern Carribean.  The trip coincided with the Super Moon. Here are several images I took of the ship, which included the Super moon.  Here are some random images I captured at  St. Maarten.  Images captured in Puerto Rico from the 16th deck of the Harmony. The panoramas were shot handheld, 5 exposures each.  These images were captured at Labadee, Royal Carribeans' private island in Haiti.  Hope you liked them. I will keep posting them here. If you are interested in photography please join the blog. I will try to answer any questions you may have, on how I shot these images.  Thanks for looking, and happy shooting.
