MackTheHunter's Butt Photography (Also doesn't include butts)

Hi.

I've always been into a little bit of Photography and I love the creativity of the art. I took a lot of classes and did exceptionally well in them. However, I despise the fact that IN ORDER to be a "Photographer" you need to own a Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera with a number of extremely expensive lenses to get the perfect shots.

I'm going to try to bring back a little bit of the soul of what creative photography is with my Flickr account and my trusty new camera: a Canon Powershot G15.



 It's not a DSLR. It's a prosumer digital. It was not K. It was  It does not have lenses. It has conversions and filters, that's it. So, forget you and your DSLR.


Gallery (From My Flickr)

These shots are taken in Manual mode on the camera with whatever settings I feel are necessary. I do not use custom lenses, just the built in non-removable lens that it includes. I also edit my photos with Adobe Photoshop Creative Suite 2 (Which, by the way, is 7 year old software).

"Found awesome lighting in the local conservation area. With the colder weather approaching the trees looked pretty spooky."

"This shot is really funny actually. When I was shooting I was hoping for a decent low light, low colour beat red sunset. It wasn't until I got home and started editing the photo when I noticed something awesome: A napping Great Blue Heron perched atop the power line. I'm glad I accidentally got lots of angles of the cheeky little bastard."

"Did a fun little macro of a Ladybird I found while walking in the woods. Because of the limited versatility of the standard digital camera, focusing on him while he was moving was next to impossible. Managed to snap this when he stopped to take flight."

02 (Alternate)



"Alternate angle of 02. Enjoyed the better colours, the nicer DOF of the foliage and the pose of Mr. Sleepy Heron."

"Although my local conservation area has been sold to the city, they've kept it well taken care of. These birdhouses were added throughout the 50 acres of walking trails two years ago."

How do you manage to take photos that LOOK BETTER THAN REAL LIFE?!?

Reality sucks. I want to live in Mack's camera.

Fixed the topic title for you.

I've been toying with a few different types of HDR photography.

HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography is where you take 3 photos: One with low exposure, one with medium exposure and one with high exposure. You then take the 3 photos and tone-map them into one image to create a really nice lighting effect.

Here's 3 different little tests I did. Uploaded to Imgur due to them being tests.

Example One: M06



Example Two: M08



Example Three: Fattal (One of the most common types of HDR photos you can find)
