Rainbows.
This is my first post to this blog, out of High School, without being graded, without any of that.
Yesterday, on my way downtown, as I was leaving my house, I spied, not 1, not 2, but 3 rainbows in the sky (you can only see two in this photo). I happened to have my camera handy, so of course I had to photograph it. I decided that since I had just finished my final on HDR, this would be a good chance to utilize it. I took three bracketed exposures on AEB (auto exposure bracketing) handheld - that was no easy feat.
Although I did get several photos, I only chose one that was great (the one above). I edited a few more, but they didn’t turn out as planned.
I have decided that it may be a smart move to invest in Photoshop CS5, as this trial won’t last forever, and I seem to be using it quite a lot. But that is for when I actually have money to spend.
I have also started using a new border on this image… I’m not sure if I will keep using it, but it is different, so I thought I would try it out. It consists of enlarging the canvas by .5in, creating a solid color layer of a dark grey, adding a pinstripe white border to the image, as well as a drop-shadow to give it “pop.” I also have included the stripe copyright. Tell me what you think in the comments if you have any opinions toward it.
Technical Information
Anyway, here is the exposure information of the photos
- Shutter: 1/30, 1/125, 1/500th sec.
- Aperture: f/8.0
- ISO: 100
- Focal length: 28mm
- Canon 50D with 28-135
The images were shot on Manual, with Auto-Exposure Bracketing and motor drive mode so that I could get the three exposures in nearly the exact spot - it’s easier to use AEB as you don’t have to change anything while shooting.
