Last days in Cambridge

Posted February 1, 2009

Well, last days in Cambridge.  Let’s see, Friday night home meeting, Saturday tour of Harvard and MIT, a little sledding in icey conditions, and Saturday night college meeting.  Lord’s day was of course the table meeting and of course the Super Bowl.  Btw, a pretty good game.

Here are some photos from the Harvard / MIT tour:

First shots from Portland

Posted January 23, 2009

portland01First full day in Portland.  We did some  hiking today and saw a number of waterfalls.  I just wanted to do a few HDR shots today.  Here’s one of the first ones I shot.  It turned out really well.  The main thing was to try to capture the sky as well.

beijingI was just looking through my bookmarks and came across this site from the Beijing Olympics.   Man, that’s a lot of photographers.  Don’t you think they can just email each other the picture to save some time?  🙂

Beep. Click. Fume. – TWIPPHOTO.COM

Posted January 21, 2009

I like reading the story behind either a photograph or a tip on photography.  This article was written by a writer named Andy Ihnatko of the Chicago Sun Times.  He has a certain type of humor and style that I enjoy reading.  Okay, I won’t summarize the article but just link to it.  Maybe you won’t find it as interesting as I do, but oh well.

My favorite photo revisited

Posted January 20, 2009

Okay… so now I’m into new ways of processing (and sometimes over processing) photos, I wanted to see what kind of things I can do to one of favorite, if not my favorite, photos that I have ever taken.  It’s not necessarily my favorite photo, but at least one of the ones which I have taken.

Original Processed

As you can tell, the processed one has more contrast and saturation of colors.  The original is more representative what we saw.  The sand was that white and the water was that clear.  The processed one is more dramatic, especially in the sky.  Anyway, something interesting that I kind of wanted to do.  What do you think?

Old photos revisited

Posted January 19, 2009

I’ve been getting into this HDR thing more and more.  One way to do HDR images is to take one photo, increase and decrease the exposure and combine them together.  I went to back to some old photos to try this out.  Of course, I went a little extreme on some of them purposely to see what kind of effects I can do.
