Got my new wide angle lens for my Canon Vixia HF100, it’s pretty darn big compared to the camera don’t ya think? Eager to try it out now, goes without saying there is noticeable distortion on the edges which you’d expect from something like this.

Sometimes under exposing can produce interesting results from a daytime shot. I love the way the water distorts the table pattern to give that zen garden feel around the nuts.

Fourth part of our series looking at Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, smart collections are very powerful especially with large libraries. I’ll show you how easy it is to start working with them.

Third part of our series looking at Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, today we are looking at the navigator and how we can quickly rate our images after import, rating might be less than thrilling but it’s super important as that library grows!

Could not decide which of the four I liked the most. Sadly at this size you cannot appreciate the detail, I might work up a series to better represent the shots.

Day #233 (b)

Canon Blogger has a great post with images at this link. Share your thoughts on the high price tag for a crop sensor body with HD video (because they are all doing it now, soon even shopping carts will be HD!)

Me….I’m sticking with my 50D, maybe next time Canon. When you give us a full frame sensor, crop sensor at (almost) full frame sensor price tag is not a winning sales plan!

I wanted to test my new noise control plugin Dfine 2.0 from Nik Software, so went looking for a really nasty lighting situation that would use ISO800 on my Canon 50D. Here is the results, original working title was DOF OFF :) . Other RAW processing was upon loading in Adobe Photoshop CS4, believe me at the original size the ISO noise was a lot more pronounced. The plugin also works in Adobe Lightroom and Apple Aperture 2.1

p.s. I hate the crop, but it was the only angle I could find to get just one of the ‘off’ labels sharp and the others blurred.

After
