Shooting WIDE

Shooting WIDE

I'm I start my adventure to the faraway exotic location of this random house on the top of a cliff… my gear includes a tripod, and a Canon Rebel T3i with an 18 to 55 zoom lens so everything is shot 18 mm. I start my adventure.

Bottom: f/5.6, shutter: 1/30, ISO 125


The next part of my adventure lead me to the dirt road that leads to this house. I quickly ran into some resistance in the form of a no trespassing sign, so I decided to leave my vehicle behind. Stealth mode activated.

The sun starts to set.


f/5.6, shutter 1/2000, ISO 1600



The winding dirt road that leads to the house is rather precarious, yet beautiful. I had additional fun taking a picture of myself on a timer. You can't see it from this photo, but just to the left of me is a long drop off a sheer cliff.


f/16, shutter 1/4, ISO 800

At last, I arrived at the house. Well, sort of… I didn't want to get too close because I felt kind of weird creeping up on the house in stealth mode wearing a black leather jacket with a camera… But, hey! I'm still in stealth mode after all.

The final photo is a combination of two photos, HDR style. I love how you can just barely make out a star in the top middle window of the house. This is something that cannot be seen with the washout photo.


Stats: ??? (See below)


Bright: f/32, shutter: 3, ISO 800
Dark: f/18, shutter 1/15, ISO 800

In addition to the HDR, I also brightened the shadows and upped the saturation by a smidge.




For fun, I just had to do another selfie!


f/3.5, shutter 1/15, ISO 800
(I cheated and did the selfie on full-auto.)

More than 45 photos were deleted in the making of this blog post.
