16 August 2007 - 22:19Lightning Photos
We had some severe weather roll through and I took some lightning photos. These have been added to a new weather gallery and you can check out others and details there.
Canon Digital Rebel XTi, Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/3.5-5.6, 30s exposure, f/7.1, ISO 100.
To take good lightning photos in the dark, you need a tripod. Set the camera on the tripod and choose an aperture around f/7.1-f/13 and an exposure time of 30 seconds or more. Use ISO 100. I used the self timer to actuate the shutter without shaking the camera, but this may not be necessary. Then, just take long shots until you happen to catch the lightning in action. I chose a wide angle focal length but this isn’t strictly necessary. However, it does increase the changes of seeing some action since the field of view is wider.
10 August 2007 - 10:53Back from the UK
Well, Abby and I are married and returned from our honeymoon to the UK. We traveled to London, Keswick (north lake district) and Edinburgh. I have a new Canon Digital Rebel XTi camera, and the standard EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens, so all my pictures from the trip are with that. It is a very nice camera.. I am happy to have a finally digital SLR, although the kit lens leaves a few things to be desired. I’ve also decided to start hosting my photos are smugmug for now since Apache:Gallery has really left many things to be desired (particularly lately it has not been stable lately). It is an eventual goal to move things back here, but I need to find a better solution and there isn’t time right now. So my smugmug gallery is now the source for photos from my SLR camera.
