Oliver Chong > 2008.07.06 - Day 85 : If you look back on June 19th I took a photo of some flowers I got for Irene. Well when cleaning today I found two petals from that had fallen off the orange flower. As an experiment I tried focus stacking a few exposures. I continuously find that the Sigma 70-300mm has it's limits. It's sharpness falls off quickly from the center and the focus ring is really too soft for being very exact. After a few tries, I am reasonably happy with this final image. Taken with natural light from the window on a white poster board. Back fill 1, back fill 2, and back fill 3.
Oliver Chong > 2008.07.04 - Day 83 : We considered going to Boston to see the fireworks along the Charles river, but that would have been incredibly hectic and would have made for a long trip back home. Instead we went to Lowell and watched the fireworks at the Merrimack river. We are positioned probably about a half mile down the river from where they are being launched. It was a pretty nice display that went on for about 20~25 minutes. This is one of my favorites because it not only has some of the aerial shells, but the fountains as well. I got quite a few shots that I am happy with. Enough to make a gallery with I think. Unfortunately, leaving the field where we were parked my car was hit. My poor Rav4, not a scratch on it until now. That put a damper on the night. Oh well, insurance will work it out and I will get a new bumper.
Oliver Chong > 2008.07.01 - Day 80 : A pretty sky showed itself as the last rays of sunlight hit the remains of passing storm clouds.
Oliver Chong > 2008.06.30 - Day 79 : I took apart our new (used) espresso machine to clean it and as I was putting the tools away I saw promise of an interesting photo...
Oliver Chong > 2008.06.29 - Day 78 : It seems to have become regular that at least one strong thunderstorm visits the area every afternoon. This is actually irregular for MA. I tried to capture the incredible rate that the rain was falling at the time. One of the roads I was driving on during a storm had at least 6" of water on it.
Oliver Chong > 2008.06.28 - Day 77 : Who knew sand castles could be so tasty?! This went down a lot easier than those I remember as a little kid... The couple I posted a picture of earlier in the year were married today. Congrats Ryan and Jenna! The reception was held just over the bridge on to Cape Cod. I'm not too happy with the technical aspects of this picture, but the subject was super. There's only so much you can do with on camera flash.
Oliver Chong > 2008.06.26 - Day 75 : I took a few days off photographing for life and because I wasn't feeling very creative. I got this little Japanese toy at a store in Northampton, MA while I was still in college. The green guy's head moves side to side - powered by solar cells. For this shot I used overhead flash lighting.
Oliver Chong > 2008.06.19 - Day 68 : Irene started a new job on Monday so i got her some flowers. They provided for another nice organic shot. Jeremy always says I should use the story telling apertures more so here's another. I normally won't go above f/11 due to diffraction, but I tried a range of them. I couldn't discern any quality loss in the shot so I went with f/22. Another back fill. A bit of an artistic photo... of art.
Oliver Chong > 2008.06.18 - Day 67 : Irene's parents were kind enough to bring us some planters of herbs. Three BIG planters and two tomato plants. The lighting this evening was nice and diffuse, perfect for this shot. I really liked the contrasting textures and shapes. This is a 5 exposure HDR gone black and white. I have also edited my first back fill picture. I am starting with a photo from Elliot's graduation. Sometime soon I will get all those photos online.... or so I will keep telling myself.
