If you want to see more black and white photographs I made more here in my blog.

Happy Monochrome Monday!

I very seldom do HDR anymore. I used to do it a lot but I just do it for fun now. I was trying the in body image stabilization (IBIS) of the E-M5 and also the fast 9fps so I did this handheld and you can see the results. This is a 5xp (-2, -1, 0, +1, +2) shot. Very sharp although I had to re-align the images when I was doing the PS work. Yes, I don't just rely on Photomatix, I always do painting afterwards to retain what I like on some of the exposures. IBIS coupled with the 9fps of the E-M5 what can I say, you don't need a tripod, hehehe. The blur of the train was captured at a 1.3sec exposure.

An early upload for HSS because I'm going out to attend a children's party and it is not just a children's party, there's some drinking too for the adults. Have a great rest of the weekend flickr folks!

HSS!!

Things I see on other things. Do you see a happy face? Have a great weekend everyone!

HCS!

Goodbye May, Hello June!

I don't photograph animals a lot but dogs and cats are such cute subjects. Maybe I'm just scared at times, like the owner will mind or the dog might bite me, hehe. To be honest I'm more scared of the owners than the dog. This one just sat there and actually came to me the moment I turned my attention to him. Then the longer I sat there he began to just mind his own. I took several and this stare became my favorite. TGIF tomorrow. HFF!

My bike attraction continues. Again, one of the things that attracts peoples attention when I photograph them. They probably wonder, what is it with that bike. Specially if the bike is like above, nothing special. Hmmm, but it has character.

On a different note, how many of you bike to work? It's good for the environment right but for some or maybe half or even the majority it's a problem. Perhaps distance is an issue, safety, etc.
