A Fly on the Wall

I find portraits showing intense emotions, uninterrupted by the camera and unnoticed by the subject, the most interesting ones in my library.

Jump off!

Loved it, the more I look at it the more I recall the fun. Awesome moment. Great picture. Thank you.

Great portrait, again by Sang. He's a great photographer.

I preset the ISO to allow a faster shutter, and set to f4+ to allow a wider margin of error. I was mindful of where I stood - the same distance to the camera to my buddy. I handed it off and prayed for goodness. Cropped a bit, and a Kodak moment.

PS Great raw conversion in Lightroom 3.

In itself this is only a snapshot. Happy times, and great memories.

On The Segway

One of my instant favorite.

I opted for f8 for the whole ride. The light allowed me to maintain a high shutter speed. The combination enabled me to freeze motions, minimise camera shakes and relax focusing requirements through a larger DOF.

Cool.

Terrible mistake on missing on the shutter speed. We were in a hurry and I was too much into the design of the photo. Too bad.
