HDR at Lowry

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

On Monday night I decided to go to Lowry (Used to be an air force base) to take some pictures of the sunset. I found out that I could go to the top of a huge hill and it gave me a great vantage point. Here are some of the photographs.

The Month of no pictures

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Well I’m hoping this will make up for the month of no pictures posted. So I went above and beyond and I am going to post 11,054 pictures. There is no sound (sorry). This was my first time-lapse that I was really trying to pay attention to. But I had a few issues. I set the camera in aperture priority so that it would make the correct exposure without me having to do it in manual mode, but sometimes it looks like the video flashes, I think it is a dark spot that the camera is sensing so it tries to compensate for it. If anyone knows a trick to this please let me know. The second was that I’m in the city so the lights kinda hinder the stars so that part is kinda boring.

My 2 favorite parts of the video are:
1. In the first part where the clouds just above the tree line move incredibly fast (wish I was closer there)
2. Right after the sun goes down there is a plane that is flying from the top of the picture to the bottom of the picture, it is releasing smoke and it is lit up by the sun then goes dark a split second afterwards.

Hope you enjoy, it is about 3min long
