Obscura Photog

Welcome to my blog. I post recent pictures for people to look at and discuss and critique. I will also post links to interesting photography, web sites, photo tutorial sites, design sites, and other blogs that I keep up with. There are alot of interesting and accessible sites out there. I'm also looking into developing more web hosting opportunities and announcements of interesting art installations, gallery shows, and whatever might be of interest here in New York City and/or around the globe. Thanks for checking things out and please feel free to comment, critique, make suggestions, or plug your own blog. All the best!

WWII Memorial Part IV

Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS @ 18.0mm ISO 100 f/23.0 1/15 (5 exposures +/-2)

These are a few shots I took of a Monument near our apartment. It was the first time I went out and tested the camera. Some of the shots came out great, though the clouds didn't come out as smooth as anticipated so I had to run them all through a noise filter. Noiseware Professional is a great program.

American Merchant Mariners Memorial

Canon EF-S 57.0mm ISO 100 f/13.0 1/401 (5 exposures +2/-2)
Taken May 2010

This was another of the first HDR Images I produced. It is also without a tripod. Not much post production was performed on this outside of Photomatix Pro, and even in Photomatix only Tonal Compression. Photoshop there were some curves and masking of the the faces near the sun.

New York Stock Exchange

Canon EF-S 55.0mm ISO 400 f/5.7 1/6 (5 exposures +2/-2)
Taken January 2010 6:15pm.

Well here's the first post. More to come. This is one of the fist HDR photos I took and without the aid of a tripod, I soon got one afterwards. The size and resolution have been minimized for the web though I have high resolution TIFFS available as well.
