Couldn’t tell you what this one is, but with the darker colors and being all in one plane the picture turned out alright. Background is a little distracting. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT (300D), EF 70-300mm lens @ 130mm, f/6.3, 1/20 sec, ISO 400.
A yellow lilly… Maybe some depth of field limitations coming into play here. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT (300D), EF 70-300mm lens @ 190mm, f/5.6, 1/250 sec, ISO 400.
A tiger lilly… I think it suffers the same saturation degradation as the bulb from yesterday. Probably could be solved if I had the picture in RAW format… but alas. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT (300D), EF 70-300mm lens @ 140mm, f/5.0, 1/80 sec, ISO 100.
Well, if not a flower yet, in the future it will be… I don’t like what the saturation does to the red, but I’m not sure I like the desaturated version better or not. Update: I’ve been informed, with a high degree of confidence, that this is a peony bud…. Continue reading
This is a so-so picture of the fountain that is / was part of the garden outside the radiology building at MSU. I think somewhere I have one that I like a bit more that was taken at night, but that’s irrelevant now. For a few years when I was… Continue reading
Older picture from Busch Gardens in Florida from back in the day of the C-2040z. I probably have a dozen pictures of these guys that turned out quite good given the megapixel limitations of the camera being used. Granted, they’re of birds that naturally look very pretty and are taken… Continue reading
The Hancock Building in Chicago, good only for it’s interesting perspective. Taken with my favorite camera to gripe about, the SX130. I can’t complain too much, as this was taken in the dark, handheld. Picture taken with Canon SX130 IS, lens at 5mm (36mm equiv), f/3.4, 1.0 sec, ISO 1600
Another from Bryce – this was another that wasn’t really thought out, but I like how it turned out. This was on the Queen’s Garden hike. It was actually surprisingly dark at the bottom of the canyon as evidence by the ISO 400 need just to keep the shutter speed… Continue reading
This picture is from the day at Bryce Canyon in Utah. As mentioned when I posted the bulk of the pictures before, this was mostly a midday visit and getting good pictures was difficult. On one hand, the contrast was very high due to the bright sun and abundance of… Continue reading
Second shot from in Willis Canyon, taken about 5 hours later and showing off the fun subjective portion of photography. It’s the same place as the previous picture, and the color balance of both looks “right” to me. This one was taken late in the evening, so the yellow sunset… Continue reading
