A few days ago I tried my hands at shooting HDR (High Dynamic Range) for the first time. In essence what this means is that you try to compensate for the fact that with a camera you have to choose if you want detail in the shadows or in the highlights (such as clouds).

On the way home from a meeting of the local photo club I decided to make a left turn instead of right, since I had my photobag with me. I drove a few hundred meters and ended up at a local ancient monument. I walked around a little bit and snapped some photos.

I’m really looking forward to trying it out properly (I tried it out a bit at the fair, and got convinced enough to be sure I would like it). I’ve never had a long lens with this large I just did a fine-tuning of the AF metering for my lenses paired with the K-7. The 24mm F2.0 was practically spot on from the beginning (needed only -1 on a scale from -10 to +10), and the 18-55 WR was also quite good (+2), but surprisingly the 50mm F1.4 was way off, needed April 10th, 2010 | Tags: adjustment, autofocus, calibration, k-7, pentax | Category: Photography | Leave a comment I was at the Photo fair in Gothenburg today. It was a very nice experience, lots of things to see, and more importantly try out. I was very interested with the photo studio setups shown, with everything from cheap 250 SEK reflectors to huge softboxes and digital backpieces costing more than an average |
