Day 5/365 – Red Apple

Red Apple, originally uploaded by mssphotos.

I love this red delicious apple. With my family we had been to the apple picking at a nearby farm. It was great to see all those apple trees with lots and lots of apple. This hanging fruit shot was done using T1i with 70-200mm F/4 lens at 138mm. Cropped the shot to fill the frame and increased the clarity in lightroom. The day had very bright sun and I had to use the flash 580 EX II at ETTL mode to reduce some of the harsh light that was falling directly on this apple. I used the “P” mode on the camera.

Day 3/365 Glass Yellow/Greenish Flower

This flower was found in the entrance of the corning museum and it was complete with yellowish/green in color standing about 12 ft and above. This photo is cropped and tweaked to increase the sharpness. There was plenty of day light that was available through the side huge glass window which made the shot easy.

Below is the recipe for this shot

This photo captures my friend (middle) who is a pro cyclist and I was there to capture his action with my T1i DSLR. It was a challenge for me to shoot sports event and this was my first try. I did read and practice little bit with Tv mode shooting on the camera. This event was on time to help me learn on shooting Tv mode.
