These are two photos that I did while I was around the past couple of weeks. The first is a water droplet hitting a sink full of water. The second is a wind charm in my back yard. I need to start doing some pictures elsewhere.
I might be doing a photoshoot for a friend coming up soon. More on that later.
I seem to be all over the HDR recently, this is another that was composed of one image that was manipulated to create multiple exposure values and then, in turn, and HDRi shot.
So, I went out and bought a new lens today. The Tamron 17-50 f/2.8. Picked it up at the local camera shop. Here’s a sample HDR I did just moments after the purchase.

A few more shots that I took that day. The first is an HDR made out of one picture, I just changed the exposure a few times and then made the HDR. The second is just a shot of a plant on the beach.

It has been a while since I’ve posted here. I haven’t been doing much with my photos. I haven’t felt motivated to actually take pictures, edit them, and then post them. When the chance came up to do Diptych’s, I jumped on it, I thought it was a cool idea. Here’s my first take on it.
I’m also looking into buying a few new lenses for school, found a great deal on a Nikon 70-200 VR AF-S f/2.8 Lens. Hopefully that one will come with the 2x teleconverter. The other lens(es) that I’m looking at are at the other end of the spectrum: Nikon’s 17-55 f/2.8 and Tamron’s 17-50 f/2.8. I’m leaning towards Tamron, for the dollar value.
I took these pictures a few days ago up at Bear Mountain after work one day. I literally drove to the top and then came back down pulling off on side roads that had a good view. Which, in the case of this particular mountain, is all of them. I got home, threw them on the computer, and then noticed that none of them had the contrast that I had seen not 20 minutes before. Thank goodness for photoshop. These are the final versions of my favourite.
Yes, I know about the house on the right
I’ve got a few pictures that I’ll be posting soon, just a few more tweaks and they’ll be ready to post. Until then I’m just going to be posting my pictures from the Nikon D80 challenge group on Flickr. This is from the available light thread, I was tempted to put it in the Long exposure thread, but I have a better idea for that one.
On a side note, this summer fall I will be attending the Western Academy of Photography. I’m going to be going for a diploma in Professional Photography.

Lucky Bamboo in my kitchen. Another shot for the Nikon D80 Challenge.
Edit: The more that I look at this shot, the more that I realize how out of focus that leaf is. It just goes to show that when you take a picture, you have to worry about the whole picture. I was worrying so much about the background of the shot that I completely missed the Depth of Field on the subject. It would also help if I had a proper macro lens. April 3, 2008
This is a shot I took on my way out to East Sooke. It’s looking out at Sooke Harbour from Roche Cove.
This is from earlier in the day of the the shots from the previous post. Mr. James Murdoch (Bak) in the store, quick snap.
