I am not a big fan of macro photography. However, I had the lens that can take macro shots. So why not give it a try? These photos were taken a while back at saguaro lake in Arizona with whole bunch friends hiking together. … [Read more...]
First HDR Image – Rose
This is my first HDR image ever! I have been amazed by so many high dynamic range photos out there, but I was not sure how people do that until recently. I download the Photomatix Pro and load 3 images taken in my front yard today into the software. I really have no idea what I am supposed to do with the software.

Canon really stand out with the vivid color. The macro lens also did a great job on showing the detail of the bee. After loading the photo to the computer, I realized that I caught the second bee at background. That make this image more … [Read more...]
