Long exposures, second-curtain flash – sometimes you get lucky!

Posted in 5DMII, Available Light, Long exposures, Stop the action on August 7, 2011 by budbranchDo these images cool you off?
The long exposure (which captures the dreamy water) requires VERY low ISO, Very tiny aperture (F/22), AND a 4x neutral density filter. Absent any one of these elements, and the shot would be way over-exposed. The frozen droplet stuff uses the very fastest shutter speed and very high ISO, else things would be UNDER exposed.
It was HOT out there…
Another fun, Facebook-enabled collaboration:

I am a longtime fan of Christine Lavin (and FB friend). When I saw her recent firefly video, I posted one of my firefly images to her wall (for fun). She generously re-edited her work and cut-in some of my pics – COOL!
This was an interesting find:

Aerial photography
Posted in 5DMII, sky on July 29, 2011 by budbranchI was taken on an early morning flight by my friend Chris Dahl-Bredine in his ultralight. Chris shoots with the Canon 5DMII also, and we both were experimenting with video (look for samples in a later post).
