Exercises for Photographers – A new challenge is normally posted on Mondays
This is a close-up of a fence pole. I took two exposures. The left part of the image is in focus the right part out of focus. Then I overlaid one over the other side by side and finally I used a Topaz BuzSim filter to create this image.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!
A few weeks ago I photographed Angel island as my special place. I found another favorite place in the Eastern part of California in an altitude of 10,000 feet or more. There are groves of ancient Bristlecone pine trees growing for centuries. I photographed those tress and in my images I want to show the nature of these remarkable area of life.
This is my first image of these trees. I selected a mountain site with a few clouds and ancient trees. Enjoy and keep on photographing!
Using my “lensbaby” I tried to blur the tree in front of the Douglass Saloon in Columbia, CA. Enjoy and keep on creating great images!
I just walked around the corner and photographed at this office building in Irvine, CA. 16 mm lense, f4, ISO 100, three exposures ranging from 0.8 seconds to 15 seconds.

Let us continue to create HDR images this week. It is a lot of fun and one can get some great images!
I photographed these dogwood leaves in Yosemite National Park. Luckily it was a calm day. Camera setting f4, ISO 100, 85mm prime lens, 1/10 – 1/640 of a second exposure time.
Enjoy and use your camera!
We did an exercise on cell phones back in December of 2011. During the last years cell phone cameras have gotten a lot better and more sophisticated. Apps have also been improved. So I decided to do this exercise again and I challenge you to photograph flowers with your cell phone. By the way, it is a lot easier to carry a cell phone with you than a bid DSLR with five lenses!
I transferred the image from my cell phone and edited it with NIK plugins in Photoshop.
