Nathan

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.

Time flies. It didn't feel like it's been a year already.

Pre-K Stepping Up Ceremony

My baby graduated from Pre-K on June 21. She asked me to film a video for the stepping up ceremony. She ended up hiding in the back. She told me she was scared.

I watched a B&H video featuring Roman Kurywczak talking about shooting birds. Link here. It was a good presentation. He made me want to pick up my camera and go shoot some birds. I didn't have the right equipment to shoot birds, so I shoot my baby, in manual mode, as he instructed :-)

Babies

We hang out in the Elmhurst Park because we were bored. And I wanted to test my 35mm F1.8 lens. So far I love the quality of the lens. I still miss the zoom though.
