HDR Photography With The Sony NEX-5N

 

I’ve been trying to work on my eBook Photographing Bodies Of Water  which is going to be “A beginners guide to taking photographs of water” the past few weeks. Mother Nature must have other plans though, every time I plan to shoot it rains or storms… So I bought a waterproof housing for my Sony NEX5N now that won’t be a problem. 🙂 The housing allows me to use the 18-55mm kit lens and gives me full control of all the buttons on the camera other than adjusting the lens. So far the image quality looks great and I have no complaints! This camera I bought mainly for my walk around camera, but with the release of firmware version 1.02 now it has more use. With now being able to shoot a 3 frame bracket with up to 3ev exposure, HDR photography is now a reality. Sign up for my email list if you’d like to receive updates when my eBook is released!

Salem Fair 2012 Photography Contest

By | Canon T2i, Nature, Shows and Events, Washington DC | No Comments

Well it’s that time of year, when the thunderstorms start rolling in every evening and the annual Salem Fair comes to town. This year will be the first year I have competed in this contest and I’m anxious to see just how many great photographs that people in the area have taken. I decided to just enter two categories “growing flowers” and “critter” I’ve been doing photography now for just over a year and most of my notable work has been in the Floral category. If you’re headed up to the Salem Fair stop inside to cool off and checkout the arts and crafts exhibits.
