The soft focus and the pouty look are very effective here.


Hi Lisa, I saw today's NHCC Blog and thought I would like to contribute one of my images.
I had a chance to borrow the Nikon 85mm PC lense on Saturday. Since last years conference I had been attempting to borrow this lense from Nikon to try my Ultra Wide Panorama(UWP) technique using the newer PC lense. The attached image I took on the island on the opposite end from the conference center. The lense is Nikon's 85mm Perspective Control Lenses that had both Tilt & Shift features. For the UWP, i just needed the shift feature. I used the Tilt feature to take close-ups of flowers with the foreground and background in focus, without stopping down too much.
Anyway back to the UWP. This images is a composite of 10 images stitched together, 5 on top and 5 on the bottom. The images stitched together easily because of the lense, and I didn't do too much post processing. The image has the coverage of a good wide angle lense, even though it was taken with a lense that has a FX sensor equivalent focal length of 127mm. The original Photoshop 8bit image was 657,605 KB.

Vic presented a wonderful program "Ultra-wide panoramas" to the New Haven Camera Club last January. He will be presenting a program on HDRI this upcoming season.


High dynamic range imaging (HDRI) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of exposures (the range of values between light and dark areas) than normal digital imaging techniques. See our previous post for more information about HDRI

High Dynamic Range Imaging is a method to capture and edit all light in a scene. It represents a quantum leap in imaging technology, as revolutionary as the leap from Black & White to Color imaging. If you are serious about photography, you will find that HDRI is the final step that places digital ahead of analog. The old problem of over- and underexposure in analog photography, which was never fully solved, is elegantly bypassed here. A huge variety of subjects can now be photographed for the first time ever.


Bascially HDRI allows you to capture all of the dark shadows and all of the bright highlights into one photograph. Our eyes are very adaptive and they are also more sensitive to intensity than color. It is estimated that our eye can see over a dynamic range of nearly 24 f-stops while a digital camera can capture a dynamic range around 6 to 9 f-stops.



Hi Lisa,Here’s another photo from the conference – one of the outdoor models. Rick (Sereque)




I love the 2/3 profile and her eyes and the soft green background...
