mlee49 · Jul 29, 2011, 07:23 PM

Nice, ever shoot in HDR?

(FIH) The Don · Jul 29, 2011, 07:31 PM

cant shoot directly in HDR, its an old EOS 30D, i just use the AEB settings -2-0-+2 then put them together in photo matrix, and tonemap the shit out of it

mlee49 · Jul 29, 2011, 07:31 PM

Ah, so that is what you did with this last shot then?

Very nice shot and touchup.

(FIH) The Don · Jul 31, 2011, 08:24 PM

simply love those rodeo shots

Chicken Patty · Jul 31, 2011, 08:25 PM

Awesome shots Gary!

burtram · Aug 2, 2011, 06:13 AM

Still need to get a tripod so I can take better shots at night, spider one came a bit out of focus and a few spots in my sunset one were a bit out of focus as well, oh well.

Pretty cool

freaksavior · Aug 7, 2011, 06:16 PM

First half in my opinion are a tad dark.

Soylent Joe · Aug 7, 2011, 07:34 PM

Gary, what is your method for getting such crystal clear photos of fast-moving subjects? Also, what camera are you using? All of your shots always look absolutely brilliant.

DanishDevil · Aug 7, 2011, 08:22 PM

Probably well-lit (because it's day time) and an uber-fast shutter speed.

freaksavior · Aug 7, 2011, 10:52 PM

Definitely a fast shutter, that's how the pictures are clear while they move around.

TY I adjusted my monitor two days ago and don't like how it's acting and am trying to get it back in specs!

Lots of luck!

I use a large aperture or f/ stop on well lit days. The pictures taken at the Jr. Rodeo were pretty easy due to overcast which created very even lighting. Then I set the shutter to continuous and just let her rip while the action is taking place. The camera I use ATM is a Sony alpha 100. I like the alpha mounts because they use the same alpha mount as Minolta and Minolta len's are really good and affordable. I use Minolta lens' exculisively because I can't afford the Karl Zies lol

It was overcast but very bright which allowed for a reasonably fast shutter speed with a wide aperature due to the extremely even lighting. Most of the pictures were @ 1/400~ 1/500 of a sec.

The tricky part is actually keeping auto focus while the action is happening. Most people like a little blur in the photo to show movement like a prop on a plane in flight ect. But with decent lighting and setting up f/stop and ISO it was not to difficult.
Thank you all for the comments!

freaksavior · Aug 9, 2011, 05:46 PM

I'd say you saw a neat car Saturday.

DanishDevil · Aug 13, 2011, 09:34 PM

Some really powerful shots in there Gary. Hope everyone was all right.

Nobody was hurt but a couple trailer houses had the roofs blown off so the town is trying to figure out how to get them under a roof.

Dang, I'd get one, but I don't have money to spend at the moment. (I already spent what I could, on pre-ordering Red Orchestra 2)

Anyway, here's a photo dump from the other weekend, lots of flowers from the wedding and then on the way home, I saw an awesome restored VW.

Taken with my Sony A300 and Minolta 50mm f/1.7 lens
