Woohoo! I'm really happy with the way the landscape photography episode turned out. I'll have a fair bit to add in the supplemental post, so stay tune for that in the next day or so. L8r!

Infrared Photography; Supplemental Post - Photography with Imre - Episodes 23 and 24

I figured I'd take a quick break and write up the post for the two infrared photography videos ( episode 23 and episode 24 ). This topic is by no means a small one, so as you saw in the video I really honed in on shooting with "regular" cameras, meaning non-IR modified, using IR filters. I would say that if you're new to infrared photography, then this is a good way to gain some experience without spending too much money. Of course if you take a liking to the realm of red, then there are lots of options to take this niche further. If it's one piece of information I couldn't find, it's in regard to at what frequency the IR blocking filter on the sensor cuts out. As you saw in the video my E-P2 could pick up the remote control's IR "beam", but I wonder where the limit is. I'm guessing it's around 720nm, but perhaps I didn't look hard enough or this is some sort of manufacturer secret as it may be used to somehow enhance the quali...

Solar Eclipse Time-lapse - Part 2

Image
Finally made some time to complete part 2 of the solar eclipse time-lapse post. Let's get right into it, but first a quick warning message you all should read if you're not familiar with taking photos directly of the sun: Without proper solar filtration, there is a very real chance that you could cause serious and irreparable damage to your camera equipment, and more importantly serious or permanent eye damage such as blindness. If you do not feel comfortable with such photography, I do not recommend doing it... even what I did can be considered borderline (and I actually don't really recommend my method either), but I'll explain my actions below. Ok, now with that out of the way I'll start with a quick list of equipment used: - Olympus E-3 - 50-200mm Zuiko lens - 2X tele-converter - camera hand-held - Variable ND filter ... DIY type Nothing really stands out from the list above until you get to the last item, a do-it-yourself (DIY) variable ND filter. I ...

Part 2: RAW vs. JPEG Part 2 - Photography with Imre - Episode 19

Well I think it's about time that I finished writing the supplemental post to RAW vs. JPEG Part 2 ! First up, during the JPEG cons segment I talked about how there is no going back to an original image state per se. In a way this is only partially true. As long as you keep a copy of the original JPEG file that came out of the camera, then you can always open it up time and time again and save it as a different file (e.g. Photoshop format) to edit it further; so you can in fact return to an "original image state" if need be. But, if you save the original JPEG file over and over again under the same filename, keep in mind that the quality will degrade; in a remote way, this is somewhat similar to making a copy of a copy, then a copy of that copy, etc. Each time you save the file, it is compressed again and again, and each time a little bit more of the image quality is lost (in all fairness though, there is a lossless JPEG type ). On the other hand, working with a RAW fi...
