In The Yard – ITY15

I slept in a little on the 4th. Originally I thought I would go looking for a sunrise but I spent the night before finishing a book which kept me up till almost midnight. It was a good book.

I didn’t mind missing my sunrise. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky. It would have been a little boring looking… 🙂 Instead, I grabbed the macro lens and went exploring around the yard in the morning light. I found quite a lot to photograph.

The other evening while I was in the yard playing with my macro lens I decided to try out a cool feature. I have written about exposure bracketing before, which is a technique for increasing the dynamic range in an image, well my Olympus camera has focus bracketing as well.

After I set my exposure and my focus point the camera will adjust the depth of the focus above and below that point capturing an image at each slice. It will then combine all the images into a single image with a larger depth of focus than possible with a single exposure. You can read a better explanation of the technique here at Digital Photography School.

Daisy’s Crown

In The Yard – ITY12

It was a photography day yesterday!  I went to the Old Erie Canal Park during lunch and played in Butternut Creek under the aqueduct.  There will be images of that excursion coming (giving fair warning…  🙂 ).  After dinner I switched to the macro lens and went into the field behind the house to chase daisies.  This is just one of the keepers I found…

Four Daisies

In The Yard – ITY11

The daisies are here!  I noticed on my way home that the daisies have finally bloomed.  I had to take one of my cats to the vet for his annual check-up, bur as soon as we returned I grabbed the camera and headed out into the backyard.  It isn’t just dandelions that I hunt…  🙂
