Very nice!

 

[ellebelle]

HDR photography?

Nope. I don't like the look of HDR - they all look like video game images to me. Just not my style.

Fence across the street from my Aunt's house in Hayward - test shots with my NEW 50mm f1.4 fixed focal length lens.

 

[ellebelle]

There has been a lot of talk about camera and camera lenses lately. Just as an FYI, I use a combination of a 50mm f1.4, a 18-250mm zoom and a 100mm macro for most of my photos.

There are near my parents place in the SF Bay Area:

Milpitas Hills - we had a BEAUTIFUL day today. The hills around here aren't even particularly beautiful - they are a brownish tan during pretty much every season, so they are great for black and white photography.

(All of these were taken with a 18-250mm tamron lens and were converted to b/w in photoshop. I never shoot in b/w even if I intend to convert later as I would rather have the color information if I chose to use it later)

Cool
