Yesterday after work I dropped my broken 300d off to Diamonds Camera in Rundle Street. It’s now on it’s way to Canon for a check and quote on a fix.

If I don’t choose to go ahead with the fix, it’s still $60 for the quote, mmm. In the mean time I’ve been looking around an the options available, definitely some nice new cameras around.

Just have to keep waiting

My Canon EOS 300D had an attack of “Epic Fail” today.

Was taking pics as per normal, got a pic like this:

Next one was like this:

Not happy Jan.

This will teach me for even trying to upload my photos somewhere else other than Smugmug

What was I thinking…

I’ve had a crack at HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography a couple of times over the last few months.

The idea is that you take multiple pictures of the same scene bracketed at different settings, ie. plus or minus 1 Fstop. You then combine all the images together with something like Photomatix and maybe tweak things up a bit.

Once the images are combined you should get something that looks better than you could take in a single image. It’s also bit of an art form where people come up with all sorts of wacky images

Anyway here’s one I took and put together on the weekend, the last day of Autumn.

More HDR experiments over here, will see what else I can try when I get some time.
