ISO dosn’t matter if it is a Clematis

March 26, 2008

This shot is a from my parents backyard. The ISO is way too high for this shot outdoors.  I just got the camera and didn’t fully understand what the deal with ISO was.  Too funny now that I think back.

Great looking Clematis though! (Good job Mom)


f/8.0 (1/320) 81mm ISO400

This shot is from a trip to the Como Z00!


(1/250) f/5.6 ISO 125  318mm

Another Tired Night

February 11, 2008


 ISO 200 f/1.4 50mm 1/30

 
 50mm f/1.6 ISO 400 1/60

Last night I managed to take some pictures of a very sleepy Max.  I took the pictures above without using a flash. I really like how the light turned out.

We are dog watching for the next couple of weeks so I will post some pictures of our dogs sisters at some point here.  

Here are the pictures from last night

The top picture was taken on September 8, 2007 and the bottom picture was taken on September 22, 2007.  They were both taken in the backyard of my parent’s house.  It’s nice to have a place where I can get a wide range of shots.  I think I spent at least a quarter of my time shooting outdoors in my parent’s backyard.
