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!

Concrete Jungle Where Dreams are Made of...

Here's the view from my office. It's a great view, Southern exposure, can see the world trade site. The new freedom tower, or World Trade 1, is just now starting to become visible. There's also a view of the Gehry Building to the left, but it didn't photograph well, I'll have to try again. Hope you like.

Battery Park Lampost

Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS @ 21.0mm ISO 100 f/16.0 1/800 (5 Exposures +/-2)

Ok, it's a bit kitchy, but I don't care.

American Merchant Mariners Memorial part Dos

Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS @ 45.0mm ISO 100 f/16.0 1/12 (5 Exposures +/-2)

Another image that I feel came out well. This way you can see the sculpture.

Battery Park Pier

Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS @ 23.0mm ISO 200 f/11 1/200 (5 Exposures +/-2)

This is the title image as it was originally meant to be and without the letter box ratio. It is another HDR photo taken at Battery Park in New York City. I tried to get the sun to be proportional within the frame but maybe it could have stood to be a little larger. I'll open up the aperture up more next time.

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.
