Landscape Photography – The Old Sugar Mill Grayscale

Here’s another landscape image taken early last year using an old Rebel XT and an EF 17-40mm f/4L lens. I processed the first entirely in Lightroom using the high-contrast grayscale conversion routine outlined in Scott Kelby’s Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 book for Digital Photographers and finished it off in Noise Ninja.
Since I started out shooting [...]

Landscape Photography – Texas Hill Country Grayscale

We’re a little spoiled here in Southeast Texas with over 300 days per year of sunshine. The winter months here are usually mild compared to the rest of the country but its the time of year that most of us really despise with dull gray clouds and cold, wet winds. Definitely not the best time [...]

Bird Photography – Blue Heron Waiting

Of all the birds I’ve photographed, one of the most beautiful and intriguing is the Great Blue Heron. I took this image several weeks ago on a cold and windy afternoon when this lone heron was braving the cold.

Bird Photography – Putting On the Brakes

Here’s another image I took last weekend with the Canon EOS 50D. I love watching birds in flight and capturing the incredible movements of their wings. This black-bellied whistling was putting on the brakes.

Canon 50D – Raw Noise Reduction

I’ve been asked all sorts of questions about the “potential” noise levels exhibited by the Canon 50D since I updated my Comparing the Canon 40D and Canon 50D post several weeks ago. Many of the questions had to do with the “usability” of RAW images taken at high ISO levels (since the camera’s High ISO [...]

Canon 50D Resolution

Sometimes its difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to evaluating technical reviews. Each new review I read seems to be more technical than the last and none seem to help me evaluate the camera in “real life” situations. And in all honesty, much of the technical jargon goes right over [...]
