It has been almost a year since I made a post. I could blame it on a busy life, or work, or any number of things. But I think it basically boils down to laziness. After some pondering (for about 5 mins lol) I’ve decided to try and kick start the old bastard! So here goes!
An easy-to-take photo to start off. You cannot easily take a bad photo of a flower. This flower resides on the pear tree in our backyard which is currently in full bloom.
Please stay tuned, I have more to post….1 day at a time

He joined the local race league 2 weeks ago and fell in love with his bike. It reminds me so much of my own life as a kid. Bikes rule, that was reiterated last night. Not to mention, he has never ridden a track or anything more than a street in his life. He has no fear when it comes to giving it all he has where the big boys play

https://josephbuffett.wordpress.com/2009/06/09/fort-henry-hdr/#commentsTue, 09 Jun 2009 05:12:40 +0000https://josephbuffett.wordpress.com/?p=1009An HDR is a combination of at least 2 photos. You take a few photos of the same subject with different exposers. Combining them in post processing to make 1 photo with perfect exposer. Lately it seems most HDR’s are way over processed and look like drawings more than photos. But HDR’s are simply an exposer tool, not what you would normally see when you Google HDR.
This was 3 separate photos. 1 for the Fort, 1 for the grass, and 1 for the sky. As you can tell, it doesn’t look completely natural, but it doesn’t look too wacky. I usually shoot as close to “perfect” as I can from the camera so that I don’t edit as much as possible, but it’s fun to try every now and then

I can only imagine what the noise would look like with 100% crop, kit lens and a 350D with an ISO over 400 or so
