I've fallen in love

Posted 1 Week Ago at 04:30 AM by synthetic (Synthetically Speaking)
Yep, I have seriously fallen head over heels in love... with a new camera lens. I went out on a limb and grabbed a AFS 17-55 F/2.8 IF-ED Nikkor lens. I am just amazed by the detail, contrast, and color I get with the lens. After only 50 shots... I can see a noticeable difference in my shots from the slower Nikon lenses such as the 18-55mm. I highly recommend this lens if you are Nikon user looking for better zoom lens.

Speaking of photography, I helped my father out at his place of...

More Fair Photos Coming

Posted 4 Weeks Ago at 04:44 AM by synthetic (Synthetically Speaking)
Well, I get a chance to get more people practice. I volunteered to take photos again at a nearby corn festival which has pretty much grown into a fair. The photos are just close-ups of people for the web but the really cool thing is I was also asked by our head staff photographer to get a couple feature photos that they can use in the newspaper too. The staff photographers are too busy to cover the event so they asked me to cover and get 2 nice and "cute" photos. Kinda cool because I will...

Fairs are interesting again

Posted 07-19-2008 at 03:47 AM by synthetic (Synthetically Speaking)
I am sitting here going through over 250 shots I took this eve. I hadn't realized I had so many (shooting compressed RAW and my shoot count wasn't accurate because of this). I realized the amount was huge when it took forever to download from direct from the camera. Now I understand why most people opt for a CF card reader. It drains my camera battery quickly to download many large photos.

So, now I have them loaded and I slowly go through them and start to discard the ones with no...

Its starting to finally "click"...

Posted 07-18-2008 at 07:03 PM by synthetic (Synthetically Speaking)
The different settings for aperture and shutter speed and their relation to one another has finally sunk into my head. Many times, I am too focused on the shot to think about what my settings are.... I know... scary isn't it. But, now that I am getting more practice and checking the settings to see what I used... its starting to finally "click"... and yes the pun was intended lol.

So, on my last expedition I thought about this more as I was shooting. I even started to use...

My First Blog Post

Posted 07-02-2008 at 08:02 PM by synthetic (Synthetically Speaking)
Well, I figured it was about time for my first blog post on here. I have another blog that I already have hard time keeping updated on regular basis so I don't know how often I will be able to post to this one.

So, what to talk about in my first post? How about photography since that has been my main interest as of recent.

I have an portfolio on Dreamstime right now showcasing some of my better photos. Its a good place to get stock photography for reasonable prices....
