Faces

Some Faces from the past. Remember film? Some of these images go as far back as 1988.

Something about a Black and White Portrait. Most of these people are actors. You can see what happens when a few of them get in front of a camera.

A Few shots I took last summer from around the Parks

Hockey Night in Elmira

administrator — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 21:09:15 +0000

Took these a few weeks ago. Another good example of how the new cameras handle high ASA/ISO. These were taken at 5000 asa. This would have been unheard of just a few years ago. I prefer to shoot with a tripod or monopod but in these situations hand held is the only way to shoot the fast action. Although I had to shoot through the glass it had minimal affect on the image quality.

Toronto Zoo 2011

administrator — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 02:24:00 +0000

Turned out to be a pretty warm day. All the big cats were either in the shade or in their dens. Most of the other animals were pretty lazy too.

Thank god for ASA 6400 The Orangutang’s paddock was very dark. It was a sunny day but the sun had gone past the glass roof.
Shot all but the penguins with my 400mm. The penguins were shot with my 70-200.

Don Cherry

Don Cherry signs a beer can at a Don Cherry’s Bar and Grill. I’m not sure how happy he was, the restaurant didn’t have air conditioning.

After about a half hour Don requested no more flash photography. All the flashes were starting to bother his eyes.

Don spent a couple of hours signing autographs after a private reception at the restaurant.

Niagara Peach Festival

I just walked around with my 400mm.
The event should have been called Niagara Cob Festival. Most of the people walking around were eating Corn on the Cob.

Watkin’s Glen

The trip was a good test for higher ASA (ISO) these shots were taken at 800 ASA. I only brought my 24-105 lens and no tripod.

This was taken at 5000 ASA

These two were taken at 1600 ASA

This was taken at 6400 ASA

It was great to be able to use these higher ASAs but I prefer to use a lower ASA and a tripod when ever possible.

Little Lanterns

Took these with two different lenses. The first one was taken with a Canon 70-200 F4L. The second was taken with a Canon 24-105 F4L.

Both were taken using window light and a white reflector.

Exposure: 2 seconds at F16 iso/asa 100
