ERMAGERD FLIKR!

Hey all! I'm updating to a dedicated Flikr just for Caffeinated Pixelations work. You can dig it HERE (aka http://www.flickr.com/photos/caffeinatedpix/ ) for full on tastiness of everything. Enjoy!

A study in snacks

ISO 640 50mm f1.8 1/800 sec
Because sometimes you just wanna have fun. A study in snacks today. Shooting fruits and vegetables in the grocery store provides a good challenge for balancing existing light and glare on your subject. As many fruits and vegetables sold today in stores have a wax coating to help preserve them, you can get unwanted highlights. To counterbalance this shoot a little to the underexposed side of what your camera's meter reads at. However, only shoot one or two stops down so you don't lose too much image data. If you shoot where it meters, you will most likely get subjects that seem overexposed with overblown highlights.

Everything shot at ISO 640 with the 50mm.

Quickie Comparison

Just a quickie comparison for now. I'm really loving the new D600. She is a lovely monster and I promise I'll have more for you soon that really shows what she is capable of. Honestly, I'm still learning my way around her and her quirks. :D

ISO 500 50mm f1.8 1/80sec

ISO 1250 85mm f4.5 1/25sec

Almost Christmas!

A rare time when you get to spend time with family for the holidays. Sometimes it is just about the camera you have with you. Taken with the iPhone 5.

My favorite orchard

First post with the D600! Came to the discovery last night though that Lightroom 3 doesn't have D600 support so for the time being I'm doing this the high tech way. Using the wu-1b to connect to my phone and then upload from here. Gotta love technology. So, I give you the first thing from D600! A shot of the inside of Bashita's Orchard store in Massachusetts. I grew up going here and stopped in to get some fresh pressed apple cider.


***EDIT*** 
SO, now that I've seen this on my computer I have figured out that the phone upload totally compresses the ever living daylights outta that image! SO NOTED. When using the wireless sender and the phone for uploads, Facebook quality only! I'll get some decent edits up here for you guys soon! Promise!
