One of the topics discussed a lot when comparing HDR software applications is the merge algorithms. Everyone has a different opinion on which application merges the exposures better. In order to provide better information on which is best, I took four of the prominent HDR applications and merged a few different exposure sets that I [...]
The image below is another HDR created from images I shot under the Cocoa Beach Pier a few days ago. This one was created using 5 images from -2EV to +2EV at a 1EV interval. This was accomplished using manual (M) mode on my Canon 5D and adjusting the shutter speed to capture each one. [...]
One of the topics in photography that has gained a lot of attention over the last few years is high dynamic range (HDR) imagery. A new comer to the HDR software application realm is Unified Color. As I write this review there is a group of Unified Color employees at the PMA (Photographers Marketing Association) [...]
If you haven’t seen the photo that David Bergman took at President Obama’s inauguration then you are really missing out on something really cool. He used a gigapan robotic camera mount with a Canon G10 to take 220 photos and then stitched them together. It took the software 6.5 hours to stitch them all together [...]
One of Hali’s recent comments reminded me that I needed to upgrade the firmware in my Canon 5D Mark I. I decided that while I was at it I would post not only a reminder to everyone else to check for new firmware for their cameras but also explain what firmware is and what it [...]
I went out this morning to shoot some photos for an upcoming project and ended up shooting a lot more than I needed. I didn’t intend to end up on the beach but my car just kind of found its way there…. It was the strangest thing….
What do you get when you put a sexy girl, a gun, and some Photoshop tutorials together? Some pretty cool photos is what! Take a look inside for some images that I shot of Wendy and post processed in Adobe Photoshop CS3. Warning: This post contains a female model in lingerie and guns so if [...]
Earlier this week I got together with Robert Vanelli to experiment with some new lighting setups. We recruited Ashley to be our subject for the shoot and we played with different settings to see what we could produce with the equipment we had on hand. We played with three different setups and tweaks each one [...]
Free time has been something that has been hard to come by as of late but I have been out shooting a little. Canon is running a photography contest until December with the title “Why Do You Love Football?”. Long story short, the contest subject is youth football. So I looked up my high school’s [...]
On March 26th Scott Kelby posted a blog entry detailing how to shoot tethered and have the images automatically show up in Lightroom. His post shows screen shots of the Nikon Camera Control 2 software since he is a Nikon user (we won’t hold that against him) but doesn’t show any screen shots from Canon’s [...]
