So, I got some advice over at the photo forum to improve these water drops and couldn’t leave well enough alone. This was done at 1/200 and ISO 100. Much better calrity in this shot. I have some more I’ll post in a gallery when I get a few moments that look better than this one.

A Drop of Water

The first thing that I learned today while shooting this was that it takes a great deal of light to shoot at 1/4000 of a second. I think I reached the very edge of the capablilites of my camera to make this shot work. It’s shot at 1/4000 and I had the flash on plus to contractor grade halogen lights on either side of the water container. I shot it in a semi-transparent red glass container.
Editing the photo, all that I did was remove the noise, increase the exposure a touch set the white balance to tungsten.

This is was shot at about 7:30 p.m. on a Monday night at ISO 400, f/10, .8 second shutter in Alpharetta on Highway 9 facing south right at Academy street.
It looks like the MARTA bus is streaking through the yellow light so as to not run the red.

The King and Queen buildings, also known more formerly as Concourse Towers in Sandy Springs.
I took this picture as something that I plan on adding in a blog post about Sandy Springs and for an additional image on my other wesbite. This was my first attempt at an HDR image and I’m not sure it was really the right subject to try and combine multiple exposures because a regular shot of the building looked quite good by itself.

Red Shouldered Hawk

Or at least what I think he is called. He was sitting outside of my garage on a tulip magnolia the other morning. In fact, there were 2, but, by the time I could get my camera out, change lenses and get upstairs, one had gone. This picture is shot from an upstairs window – a dirty one I might add at a downward angle and to the right. Not quite an easy shot through blinds and on a cloudy morning. I went for a walk later that morning to find him again and found 4, but, too far away to get any pictures.
