ISO dosn’t matter if it is a Clematis

orchjoe — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 02:08:52 +0000

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)

The best thing about this last trip to Disney was renting a wide angle lens before the trip. I managed to get a lot of great pictures. These are a couple of shots of Cinderella Castle. The direct link to these pictures in the gallery.

I took these pictures in my parents front yard. There is a tree between our house and the next that the leaves always turn into great colors. I put all of the pictures into one gallery from this past fall. These pictures were taken on October 19th, 2007.

Here is the gallery.

Back in the saddle again

300mm f/11 ISO 400 1/200

300mm f/5.6 ISO 200 1/500

I took both the pictures on July 21st, 2007 in my parents backyard. I took a ton of shots to get it to focus in the right spot. I really do need to just get a macro lens.

Another Tired Night

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.
