I am a 24 year old Computer Science student at University of New Hampshire. I'm graduating in May, and currently searching for full time jobs. You can find my resume along with other info about me on my personal page: Daniel P. Noe.
I took this sunset photo on November 2nd. The clouds had incredible coloring with all these layers throughout. Lately most of my shots have been people pictures but today I figured I’d share a nice landscape shot :)
ISO 100, Canon EF 50 f/1.4 @ f/2.5, 1/125, Program mode with -4/3 EV bias.
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.
