Hey, I just wanted to write a quick post before I go to bed. We got back from Cornwall this weekend, and I haven’t had time to post since then. I uploaded my photos from the trip into my Cornwall 3 Set. There are over 100 of them. I got a little snap happy at times, but it is hard not to in such a beautiful place.
I have a lot to write about, but that will have to wait until later. I want to get to bed at a decent time, because I’m feeling pretty tired from being back on the work schedule again. I’ll try to write more tomorrow, but for now I’ll just post a few pictures below. I hope everyone is doing well.
WOW those are some great pics you have a good eye
mmmm….cornich pasty? What’s in it & If I’d like it box up a dozen and send ‘em across the pond to your dear old dad would ya? Just kidding! They look good anyway….I didn’t eat lunch today, I’m starving, and your Mom will probably feed me salad again tonight. Yuk!
I am beginnign to read yoru blog. I found it seraching for “carving” but what interests me right now if how bright your pictures are. What camera is that?
Yari,
I’m glad you found my site. My camera is an Olympus EVOLT E-500. I primarily use my Zuiko Digital 14-54mm F2.8-3.5 lense, unless I am taking macro shots. For macro shots, I use my Zuiko Digital 35mm F3.5 Macro Lense.
My site has several different topics, but I’ve recently ordered some better quality carving tools and I expect to be working through several projects once I get them in the mail. Thanks for reading!
The photos are crisp and full of bright colors; the beauty of your surroundings deserve to be displayed with a great camera. That is indeed a great acquisition.
I will read more in yoru site but I have not come around to do it since I want to check all your topics at the same time. Sit with a cup of coffee and wander around. Get the idea…? What I have seen so far is great.Hope yu place some more comments on carving… Thanks a lot!
Hi, I’m totally amazed at the beautiful photos! Truly, there are so much beauty to capture with a good lens :)
I was actually going to ask what camera you’re using, but Yari cleared that up. Just wondering though, the crisp and bright effects that you have achieved with your camera, are they totally pure, or have you “fixed” on them later on, for additional brightness and contrast etc?
Nice blog, keep it up ;)
Reema,
I try to do very little to my photos. I occasionally have to make small changes to exposure or saturation for washed out photos, but I didn’t do much to these. Cornwall’s lack of haze and clear bright colors do well with photos, so I really can’t claim much credit.
Hi Mike. Alright I see. I was wondering generally as I myself own an Olympus u600,s600, however I feel the creativity is minimised as the brightness and contrast, as well as the sharpness could have been better. I’ll hopefully buy a new SLR camera this summer, can’t wait wait to explore the world through the lense!
Once again, lovely photographs! I’m already a fan :)
Reema,
I felt the same way when I first bought my E-500. The kit lense didn’t handle high or low light very well, and it didn’t even seem to capture the colors in any given situation very well. Once I made the jump from that 14-45mm F3.5-5.6 kit lense to the higher grade 14-54mm F2.8-3.5 lense, I noticed a world of difference in my photography and I’ve had to correct less and less on my photos. I think it is also important to note that every shot I take is in full manual mode. I don’t use the programmed modes so I can get complete control of every aspect of a shot. Getting used to this and being able to do it quickly and consistently has also made a lot of difference…but like I said before, the biggest key is the natural lighting conditions on any given day and setting. Some days just aren’t good photography days for me, but you may find you can deal better. It’s just a personal thing for me. I don’t try to force it.
