Yesterday evening I started cruising around a little to see if I could catch a few nice shots of the sunset and I think I succeeded with a few pictures. Also listed some older sunset ones.
05.17Using Photosynth
A while ago Microsoft has releases this great piece of software called Photosynth. I have been testing a few options and created my first synth in the park near my house. All pictures are taken with the Nikon D90 in VI mode (so very fresh green).
Visit the synth here.
I love time-lapse movies and I have investigated a few options to create them. Currently my combination of a Nikon D90, MSI Wind and the NKRemote software of Breeze Systems does the trick. However, there are a few problems here:
- Cannot leave my Nikon outside for 24 hours without protection;
- Storage capabilities of the MSI Wind.
The first one is very important and it means I always have to stay near with time-lapse movies. I would love to do a time-lapse near the station because it is such a busy area but I would need to leave my camera somewhere, impossible. That is really the biggest problem.
Storage capabilities is solvable.
The NKremote software is a piece of nice software en the best thing is that it directly stores the taken shots on hard disk without stuffing the memory card.
I’m planning a first time-lapse soon from the balcony of my house. The sunsets are really spectacular sometimes and I want to do a time-lapse of one of those.
05.16A bug in my picture
I shot this picture with a 18-105 mm and a closeup lens. It isn’t the best way to do macros but probably the cheapest. Took me 15 pictures to get this one 
Once and a while I try to go outside to shoot a few pictures and try some settings. These are a few of the latest:
01.11Leafs HDR
It isn’t easy to change lighting for the HDR images but this one is sharper compared to my other ones. The trick is to make the 3 shoots without moving (very difficult without a tripod).
01.11Another HDR…
Today I took a few minutes to do some more shooting:
