Weeks 18 and 19: May 1st and 8th, 2010

So I've been swamped the past two weeks and didn't get around to updating things on here. I went to the Canadian War Museum with some friends this past weekend. I'd never been, but I was very impressed with the sheer number of exhibits and the scope of Canadian history it covered (going back to pre-Dominion all the way to the present). A full album of my shots is available here.

One of the things I really enjoyed at the Museum were the dioramas they set up, illustrating various battles. This one was from a street fight in Quebec - the level of detail is absolutely incredible and really helps to bring the exhibits to life.

I entitle this picture: Pew pew!

Week 12: Sunday March 21st, 2010

This week's picture has no changes to it from the original picture - no changes in Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop, nothing. I usually underexpose my pictures slightly (you know that little EV setting on your camera? I set than to about -2/3). Two reasons for this: 1) it is easier to increase exposure in post-processing than decrease it, and 2) it means the photos can be quicker (as it needs less time to let the light in). When I'm doing indoor/night shots, it is the difference between a crisp shot, and one that looks like it was taken through the bottom of a dirty glass.

Anyhow. Here is this week's shot:


As always, I welcome your comments :)
