Took a nice trip between Yakima to Portland on Sunday.
Packed my Canon 60D and 3 lenses: 16-35mm f/2.8, 24-70mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8. The Multnomah Falls looked great – a lot of Spring runoff combined with an awesome day. The 16-35mm really came in handy to fit the waterfall in the frame.
Composition rules and Nature tips from my EasyDSLR course will help for these kinds of photos- and, of course, exposure settings…
Some amazing Magnolias I photographed in Downtown Seattle using a Canon 60D and a Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. It was bright sunlight and a regular exposure did not bring out the color in the flowers.Too much lighting contrast and range.
Solution: I took a series of 3 exposures for each photo and used Photomatix Pro to combine the images into single HDR (High Dynamic Range) Images. There is a Video on HDR imaging in the Gold Membership of EasyDSLR Digital Photography Course. HDR can be used with more subtlety to get closer to how we see the moment.
Sometimes it can be fun getting the ‘Other-worldly’ looks using HDR … it can get really crazy and overdone. I’m more of a fan of using HDR to make a scene look more natural – they way we ‘see’ it in our mind.
Winter in Missoula is beautiful. Throw in some Horses and a Canon 60D and you’re in for some great photos.
Our family took a walk to a nearby Equestrian park… and the dog. It was an amazing day so I thought I would share some photos. I’m not that comfortable on a horse but I’m quite happy to lead them and take a bunch of Photos.
Photos are taken with a Canon 60D with 16-35mm f/2.8L and 70-200mm f/2.8L.
People photos were processed using The Florabella Collection – LUXE Ambrosia.
Had an awesome Seattle Saturday with the family at Green Lake just North of the City. All photos using a Canon 60D with 16-35mm f/2.8L and 70-200mm f/2.8L – Circular Polarizing Filter on wide shots. Who said Seattle is miserable in Winter?!!
