Here's a few images from this weekend camping at Birkenhead Lake, BC. High Dynamic Range and 4 minute exposures at sunrise with the Canon 5DSR

I can't help but imagine this is what some people must be feeling like today. The kids are back in school, back to work after a long weekend, "summer's over", etc etc. Well, if it's any consolation, this fish made it up!

I shot this at Bailey's Chute in Wells Gray. I took two different exposures, as I wanted to slow down the movement of the water, but also get an exposure which would yield a sharp image of the fish jumping out of the water.

Beautiful rock formation in the Cariboo region of British-Columbia. I highly recommend exploring it. Taken with Sony A7R and Samyang 135mm f/2.

Random photo of Hotel Europe. I have been wanting to take a good shot of it for a little while, but I'm looking for a vantage point I haven't found yet. Some day, I'll get it right.

 

That night, I was testing some new gear. A Tamron 15-30 f/2.8 with a Kipon Tilt-Shift adapter. I've have the Kipon adapter for a little while, and it's great. The Tamron is also a very good lens and gives me much better results than the Sigma 12-24 did. This shot wasn't perfectly level, I think I have to get a better level for my camera.

Growing atop a cliff, with the elements conspiring against it, this tree persists. I aspire to be more like it.

One of the best things about Thursday is that I get to look through old photos, like this gem from 2013!

Harbour Centre and parts of downtown Vancouver viewed from a rooftop. The climb was well worth it, even with a bag full of gear and a tripod sticking out of it. I definitely intend to go back.

 

Sony A6000 + Samyang 12mm @ f/4, 2 seconds exposures (stacked the trails) + shorter exposure for the sky. Processed with Darktable and GIMP on Xubuntu.

I took this picture at Iona Beach Regional Park last Saturday April 18th 2020. There is something on this picture that I can’t quite understand. Please follow the RED arrow and see yourself. If you know what it is this please let me know? Thank you.

I like the silence snow brings to a scene. You can hear your thoughts more clearly.

Snowy Morning in the Park.

First attempt at using the Brenizer method. That photo was made using my 135mm Samyang lens at f/2, and is composed of 72 photos. The full size stitch would be several gigapixels, but that's much more than I need and a pain to work with, so I exported it to "only" 337 MP. This version I uploaded is much smaller. I like the angle of view and the general appearance of the final product, but I'm bummed out that the street lamps produced so much flare. Next time I'll really have to watch for it.

 

Other challenges were to stitch all the shots together properly using Hugin. Instead of selecting all the frames and create control points, I had to select the frames by adjacent groups, which was a lot slower but prevented misplaced photos and failed panoramas. I noticed something interesting in that Hugin's results varied from one rendering to the next. Using the "Biplane" projection, which I found gave the best look to the photo (aka kept the lines straight), gave me results with black rectangular patches after rendering. The interesting thing is that if I rendered the same panorama again, using the exact same parameters (using a saved .pto file), the blacked out patches would appear at different places, or not appear at all. Also, light levels changed between renderings. On some, the flare was more pronounced. On others, it was less pronounced. To make the best photo I could in these conditions, I batch generated 8 panoramas using the exact same parameters. Then I loaded all of them in GIMP, and erased the parts I didn't like of each layer to merge them to one layer. Like that, I got rid of the black patches and reduced the flare as much as I could. Hugin did stitch the frames in the exact same position every time, this didn't change at all. Only, it seemed like it used different overlap combinations on each stitch. Weird.

Shot from Mount Pleasant with a long lens as the day started to get darker.

Second try at using the Brenizer method on a building. This time I chose Hotel Europe, in Gastown. I used my Tamron 70-200, this time, at 200mm and f/2.8. To avoid having areas so out of focus I can't stitch them, I limited my field of view so that there would always be details in each frame. This time, what made my life difficult was vignetting. It didn't create weird problems last time with the Samyang 135mm, so I thought that Hugin always corrected it well. Not this time. Already, in the viewfinder, I could see that the vignetting of the Tamron was way stronger than the Samyang's. Once I stitched the shots, there was that awful grid pattern of multiple vignette circles in the sky, which I had to try my best to remove manually. It was a very slow process since the final image was 373 megapixels. I wanted to upload the whole thing on Flickr, but it gave me an error, sadly. Too bad, because the level of details was insane.
