A quick lunch break gave me just enough time to take a couple of shots even on this grey cloudy day. The clouds in the distance looked great so I took advantage of the break in the weather with my trusty Canon and mini tripod.

Wood Piles

So I thought I would re-visit the very first photo I ever shot in HDR format. This was a five exposure image and the original was very over-processed. This time I have gone for a much more realistic look which makes the single exposure image (bottom) look so washed out. Although the details in the wood pile, the foreground and the sky look okay on the original the camera simply cannot handle the detail of the overcast sky. The top image is the finished result.

So I took a drive this evening down historic 6a from Yarmouth to Barnstable. It's overwhelming to me and I stopped at least ten times to take shots of different subjects. Here is one of an old (un-inhabited) house. Overgrown and run-down. The sun was setting onto the side of the exterior walls which gave some terrific tones to the image. The usual three exposures and slightly tone-mapped. Pentax Kx with 18-55mm

He managed to sit still (just) long enough for me to shoot a three exposure burst. A nice soft filter makes his coat blend really well. Well done Jupe... Pentax Kx with 18-55mm

A busy shot here. Lighthouse, docks, fishing boat, houses, sand, ocean, trees ... so many objects of interest to put in a well constructed shot. But seeing as though I'm a photography newbie I can't resist detail! Pentax Kx with 70-300mm Zoom
A crisp day

Today was a clear, breezy and cold March day which makes the waters of Cape Cod stand out. A little zoom photography here on this panorama shot. Taken with Pentax Kx with 70-300mm Lens.

Heres a couple of shots I took this week. First is a nice Black and White of some machinery which offers some interesting shapes. The other is just a macro shot of an open circuit board.

Sometimes photos beg to be enhanced. Like this one. The top image is the standard one taken with my basic point and shoot Canon camera. A nice crisp shot but lacking in a lot of tones and detail that cannot be achieved with just one exposure. The next one was shot in three separate exposures (plus two steps, mid and below two steps) and then fused into one image. This process now is packed with color and detail not seen in a regular photograph. I have cropped in so you can pick up some of the detail on the seaweed and rocks. Go ahead, click on the pic and see what I mean....

Working on Boats offers a whole ton of photo ops. There's so much micro detail on these props and rudders. I like the way the wooden blocks have turned out too

A crisp March day. A crane barge was docked nearby and gave me an opportunity to take this. Taken with Canon Elph

Classic Cars are tough. So many options. I love the details in the wheels though so decided to make them my main focal point for this one. Taken with Canon Elph.

I came across this leaf sucker in a warehouse and couldn't resist getting on my stomach to shoot it from a low angle. It has a very sinister look and someone commented that it looked like it should be from the movie "Christine" I couldn't agree more! Taken with Canon Elph.

Taken March 24th 2010 on Follins Pond. Nice evening with plenty of warm tones to take advantage of. The result of my exposures was almost an antique effect. Taken with Pentax Kx.
A new project

Here I will be posting up some of my work. My inspiration comes from finding even the most mundane things to be rather interesting when it comes to photography. This HDR was taken with my little Canon Elph. Five exposures and a little tone mapping. Goes to prove that with even the most basic equipment you can achieve some great results!
