Oliver Chong > 2008.04.26 - Day 14 : My new lens, the Canon 70-200mm f/4 L IS, came in this afternoon thanks to FedEx Home Service with Saturday deliveries. Once the sun moved lower in the horizon I took a trip over to Great Brook Farm State Park and wandered around for a bit. It was pretty quiet out with no wildlife in sight around the ponds so I went back up to the farm house and took this picture of the silo nearby. I haven't done anything to the image other than correct the white balance slightly and crop out the edge of the building below the silo that got caught in the corner of the image. So far I am very impressed with the lens, it certainly seems to live up to its reputation. Tomorrow I will probably do some tests to see how accurate the focus is, but as you can see on a large object it seems to do just fine. This is my first IS lens and I need to get accustomed to waiting that 1/2-1sec while the IS gains full control. Additionally, I need to get comfortable with holding it as it is the longest and heaviest lens i own.
Oliver Chong > 2008.04.25 - Day 13 : Alright, back to using my 350D. Here I wanted to experiment with using HDR along with other edge enhancements to create an image that really popped. With all the other photos I have posted there have hardly been any adjustments made. The only light source is the one you see in the image. This is formed from five exposures in 1EV increments - taken with my 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5.
Oliver Chong > 2008.04.24 - Day 12 : Tools of the trade. While I still had Jeremy's camera for a final night, I figured I would take a picture of my gear. This is my Rebel XT (350D) with the 85mm f/1.8 mounted. This shot is set up with the camera in my light box and lit with the flash set left of the subject angled upwards at max power. *Yes, the date is still wrong on the D70 which took this picture.
Oliver Chong > 2008.04.23 - Day 11 : I liked this shot because of the connection between the reflection along with the webcam and what it could see. Want to name the things you can see in the reflection?
Oliver Chong > 2008.04.22 - Day 10 : So I decided to try something different... 1:1 macro shot again.
Oliver Chong > 2008.04.21 - Day 9 : A coworker was kind enough to let me borrow his D70 w/ Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Macro lens. I've been considering picking up a macro lens and the Tamron comes in a Canon mount so it's comparable. I think I did alright considering I had never touched a Nikon system before. This is the same calla lily that I shot on the first day. Thanks Jeremy!
Oliver Chong > 2008.04.20 - Day 8 : The magnolia bush at the entrance to my apartment complex bloomed and since I missed taking a picture of its flowers last year I had to take one this time around.
Oliver Chong > 2008.04.19 - Day 7 : My brother is in town for a few days with some of his friends. Two of them are running in the Boston Marathon on Monday. Anyways, he wanted to be the subject of my photo for today so we set up something fun. Aviators and the Guitar Hero guitar.
Oliver Chong > 2008.04.18 - Day 6 : A wonderful shade of stagnant water green. This sudden warm up in MA has allowed the pond scum to grow. You can see how it is thickest around the tree and thins as it heads towards where I was standing. I really like how the reflection looks.
