Photography
All of the photos featured on this site since March of 2007 have been taken with a Canon Digital Rebel XTi digital SLR camera. Prior to that I had a couple of point-and-shoot numbers that did the job. Then my interest in photography increased and I wanted to have more control over the camera’s settings. I’m still exploring and learning about shutter speeds and ISO settings and whatnot.
My current inventory of equipment is limited to the camera body and the following:
- 0.28m/0.9ft 18-55mm (standard use lens)
- 0.38m/1.3ft 28-80mm (standard use lens)
- 1.5m/4.9ft 75-300mm (telephoto lens)
- 2x converter
- UV filters
WISH LIST ALERT! Go HERE! END WISH LIST ALERT!
All photos are edited/enhanced using Adobe Photoshop. Version 5.5 was used up until April of ‘08, then I upgraded to CS3. I store my photos on Flickr. You are welcome to download them for personal use, I would just request that you let me know, and also credit me for any use to which you apply the photos.
I like to share what I learn. As such, when I learn a new trick I will post an entry as a tutorial. Thus far I have posted about the Diffuse and Bloom Photoshop technique. More sharing is forthcoming, and I will index those entries here.
I highly recommend the following books for the amateur photographer:
- The Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers by Scott Kelby
- The Digital Photography Book Volume I by Scott Kelby
