Oliver Chong > 2009.05.17 Amazing how much this ~1/2" wolf spider looks like a tarantula. The white thing is it's egg sac which it carries around with it.
Oliver Chong > 2009.2.20 - Day ? : The tulips are on their way to the trash, but I decided to use this one because I loved the way the petals had curled. I haven't spent much time previously with attempting to black out the background, but it turned out just as I wanted. Uncropped, hand held, and with the flash at upper right set to 1/2 power.
Oliver Chong > 2008.04.30 - Day 18 : Time to balance out the last two inorganic subjects... With all the rain we has the last two days I was surprised the cherry blossoms survived. There are quite a few trees nearby that are in bloom.
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 > 2009.5.10 Today was a good day. Irene and I went in to Boston to view Shepard Fairey's art at the Institute of Contemporary Art. You may remember I snapped an iPhone picture of his HOPE piece on Inauguration Day. After that we got some shawarma in Brookline followed by seeing Star Trek at an IMAX theater. The movie was great... we both really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, during the movie the projection stopped and we had a forced 10 minute intermission. It didn't detract much from the experience. Before the movie started I saw this silhouette of a gentleman trying to catch the attention of his family who were looking for their seats.
Oliver Chong > 2008.04.16 - Day 4 : I've noticed this clock several times in the past so when my girlfriend and I went in to Lowell for dinner this evening it became the subject of my first few shots. In the end I found this the most interesting picture of the evening. If you can't read the two plaques, "Installed January 1914".
Oliver Chong > 2008.05.01 - Day 19 : Where do I live? What I will be doing tomorrow? Who I will be watching?
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 > 2008.04.25 - 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.
