Darwin Wiggett wrote an article in Photo News (Volume 19, No. 2) entitled Tips for Better Summer Photos. Paulette and I were heading downtown to visit our library and to do some shopping for our trip to Iceland. I carried my camera as usual and thought about Wiggett's tips as we circumnavigated the old city.#1 Get Up Early - well, I read the article too late in the day to follow this tip! I am up early this morning; perhaps I should be out photographing instead of blogging!
#2 Use a Polarizer - yup, you can see the blue sky is richer and colours more saturated.
#3 Go Light - going light is relative; but I took the minimum (Canon 7D and one zoom lens)
#4 Shoot the Shade - no shade in sight here but it is great for flattering portraits
#5 Capture the Big Vista - I used the widest angle setting on my 15-85 mm lens at f/18
#6 Steady it with a Tripod - done using my new light carbon fiber Induro tripod (1 kg)
#7 Action Made Easy - see previous post, Thunderbirds
#8 Experiment and Have Fun! - this is a pretty postcard photo and low in experimentation but I did have fun taking this shot. And I especially enjoyed walking about our beautiful city with Paulette!
