OKLAHOMA SUNSET

Scene setting for Sunset with color tweaking and framing in Photoshop Elements

Venus Transit

We had a camera attached to a telescope more or less tracking the sun. With EOS utility we could watch the transit via laptop while snapping photos with the keyboard.
 

These photos,however were taken by Ivy with a Panasonic Lumix pointed into the eyepiece of a spotting scope with solar filter attached.

Some adjustment for exposure, shadow&highlight as well as contrast was achieved with Photoshop E6 and Ivy went a little further, playing with the software for the final photo effect.

Closeups in Macro Mode

Along the Driveway

 We've sowed various wildflower seeds among the weeds that grow along our driveway and have the beginnings of a wildflower plot.

 These shots were taken yesterday in late evening sunlight and this morning a little after sunrise.

All were captured with Canon EOS with 500mm sigma mirror lens(note donut bokeh)f8 manual focus, tripod mounted. Tweaked in Lightroom3.

Frame Capture Experiment

 After repairing a camcorder last week I did some test shooting to make sure it was functioning correctly. The camcorder has pretty good macro capability so I did some comparison shots of a few of the subjects I was shooting with a 10mp DSLR.

Not too bad in a pinch.



   The 2nd & 4th photos are frame captures from the camcorder.
