Fun with HDR

I took this photo today. Used Photomatrix to generate the images. I use three images at 2.0EV seperation. I love taking photo's like this. Can't wait to do more. There is so much information on how to create HDR Images.

This link is great tutorial. http://stuckincustoms.com/2006/06/06/548/

Shooting through Cages

Shooting through wiring was a real trick at first till I realized that all I had to do was to set the lens to manual focus and zoom in. So lesson learn, whenever you are shooting through cages at the zoo, do the above.

This was a Steller Sea Eagle.

Peanut the Cow

A very friendly cow. Just out exploring and couldn't resist taking this photo. Just wish I had taken it in RAW.

The Hunt for Mud.

Now this day was a lot of fun. Every mud puddle that we could find, we went through. I love the action of the mud spray.

Shotting continous mode:

ISO: 100 Exposure: 1/30 sec Aperture: f/10.0 Focal Length: 30mm Flash Used: No

Guard Towers

All I can say is ahhh.... This was taken at the San Diego Zoo.

I had the new camera for about three days when I took this shot using Child mode: ISO: 500 Exposure: 1/500 sec Aperture: f/5.6 Focal Length: 200mm

High Speed!!!!

This was a fun photo taking day for me. I had been waiting about two years to get nice crisp high speed shots of my buddie Tommy racing in Fontana at the California Speedway. He races superbikes and been doing it for several years...

I learned a lot that day as far as using Apeture Priority shotting modes instead of Shutter Priority. What a difference. I was shotting at F11-13 at 320-450 and ISO at 100-200

The Yellow Bird

Then on a trip the Wild Animal Park, I was able to get this shot. I don't recall what type of bird it was, but what a nice photo. If anyone know please let me know.

Anyways I was impress with how clean this shot came in, With the other camera that I had, sometimes this shot would come out dark and out of focus.

ISO: 800 Exposure: 1/80 sec Aperture: f/5.6 Focal Length: 185mm Flash Used: No

The Arrival

This is pretty much the first shot that I took with
new camera. I couldn't believe the quality and vibrant
color that I got in this photo.

Up Close and Personnal

Can I get a little closer. LOL This shot was not taken with my new camera but a Nikon Coolpix 8700. But I thought it was worth the posting.
