I took my kids to the Hall of Science again. We have membership and parking is free, so why not. There was nothing new there, but kids still enjoyed their time very much. As usual, I was practicing my photography with my kids.

I brought my SB-600 flashlight. I was trying out a technique I saw online. It goes like this, minus one stop exposure on camera and plus one stop on my flash. The light kept changing indoor, so that minus one stop part became anywhere from minus one third to minus one. It was fun trying it out. I need more practice.

This picture is my favorite one for my son so far. I use aperture priority mode. F1.8. -1/3 EV. +2/3 Flash.

I could've tried +1/3 Flash to see how it went, but my son never stop in one place long enough for me to try anything. So this one has to do. There will be lots of opportunities to try different things later on.

Bronx Zoo

Hermine failed to show up in New York last weekend. It was actually a really nice day to go out. Obviously kids won't stay home. We went to Bronx Zoo to see if the leaves change color yet. It's a wonderful place for photo shoot in autumn when the leaves change color. Even though some trees have already turned yellowish in my neighborhood, the trees in Bronx Zoo were still quite green. We'll have to try again next month.

Zoo Center

The lizard in zoo center. That komodo dragon in the neighboring exhibit has always been unreachable for me. It never showed itself.  

Only one tiger this time. No idea where the tiger kittens went.

Nevertheless, it was a good exercise for kids to walk around. We'll be back.
