Solar Eclipse Series #002

Partial solar eclipse sequence for Niagara Falls, New York.

Solar Eclipse Series #001

Here in Niagara we didn't get a total eclipse but it was still interesting. Here is a view of the partial with my Canon Powershot sx50 hs racked out to a 35mm equivalent of 4800mm. you can see the moon crossing over the sun from the right and actually make out a few sun spots on the sun.

Live Macro

My first attempt at living macro insects. Almost all my work previously has been with deceased insects but now I want to challenge myself outside the box. This yellow jacket is ok but I prefer more depth of field. I may need to switch to another camera.

Solar Eclipse (test)

My image of the sun in preparation for the upcoming eclipse. I think this will work for me. I didn't want to spend a lot of cash for special optics because we won't get a total eclipse here and it could be rainy or cloudy that day. I used my Canon powershot sx50 hs. I placed an R-79 red filter with two 2X neutral density filters on the lens. This shot was a test and handheld but for the real deal I plan on using a tripod.

Beautiful Rainbow

Maybe this rainbow I saw today means good fortune for some lucky person at the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort.

Moonscape

In the planning stage of preparing for the upcoming solar eclipse on August 21st. Open daylight image of the moon shot with Canon powershot sx50 hs.

Removing People Update

The client liked the first draft but request the dude in the middle wear long sleeves and was made a little thinner. Here is the final revised edit from the post below.

Removing People

I just love a challenge. A former client of mine asked me to crop and remove the two women in a photo of these biker dudes. I think this works just fine.

The Black Knight

This wasp looks evil. Focus stack of 27 images with Zerene stacker to gain maximum depth of field. Image was then cleaned up and finished with Aurora 2017 and Photoshop CC. Shot with Canon powershot sx50 hs.
