Vol. 3 No. 7


While traveling, I made a decision to leave the bulky gear at home and go light.  My choice for image capture is a point and shoot high-end performer, the Canon PowerShot G12.  This 10 megapixel performer packs a ton of features that even a pro shooter will love.  I coupled this with a Black Rapid SnapR combo strap and case system.  Together they made for a compact travel champ.


One of the features of the G12 was its ability to capture high dynamic range (HDR) images with a single click of the shutter release button.  The camera actually snaps off 3 shots then combines them in the camera.  Since I was hitting a major tourist attraction, Hoover Dam during the mid-day Sun, I figured this would provide a good test.  Here are some of the images captured:

I was impressed with the result.  The range of contrast with the Sun high in the sky is always a tough one to tackle.  The camera handled this wide range pretty well, with the highlights and shadows exposed nicely.


My decision to travel light also included leaving the laptop behind.  Just my point and shoot camera, my trusty iPad2, and Apple's Camera Connection Kit handled the job nicely.

Vol. 3 No. 3


It has been a rough several months where I have been remiss in posting.  My apologies. Personal and professional circumstances have been a major distraction. 


During the last four months I have been shooting studio sessions on almost a weekly basis, keeping my skills tuned.  I was fortunate to have recently participated in the American Photo Magazine's Model Shoot.   Over the next several posts, I will be sharing some of my favorite captures.  


The following captures are part of my series of "Couples" Part 1:
