Jon's Photos

Jon spent a few hours last evening getting some shots of the Halifax-Dartmouth and Lawrencetown areas. Here are some examples.

He uses a special technique that employs a series of combined shots. Considering that the Image Sensor of a digital camera has limits to it's tonal and contrast range, this technique can be considered a 'trick' approach. It enables much broader ranges to be captured than is possible from using a single image.

It is interesting to note that these images were taken after sunset with very low light conditions, heavy cloud cover and no flash. This technique produces a very unique picture.

The images were taken with a Nikon D200.

WIND SURFING
June 19, 2007

I had an opportunity to spend an afternoon with one of my windsurfing friends and get a few photos. Dick Vine introduced me to the sport a few years ago. It was a fun time to get out to see the action and snap a few pics of Dick and his windsurfing buddy, Lou Costanso.

Taken with Jon's new 10.2 mm Fisheye Lense. As you can see from the shoreline in the background, there is a lot of barrel distortion.

Cross over!

Dick has a bit of a problem.
