Matunuck Construction HDR

Click Image to View Panorama

On my way into work this morning I stopped at the construction site of the new pavilion at the East Matunuck Beach in southern Rhode Island. Vibco vibrators will be used in the consolidation of the concrete here and the pour was supposed to be first thing but has been postponed. It was great to be here just after sunrise and get this shot which I did in an overtly almost sinister grungy HDR style. Hopefully I will get some more good shots and great video when the pour happens. This really isn't my style but is a fun thing to mess with, especially with this sort of construction site.

A Roll in The Hay

We all went down to Escobar's Corn Maze in Portsmouth, RI to walk the maze, and had a great time. The kids had fun in the hay bales after the maze.  strung all my stills together to create this short clip.

The Orange Box

Sometimes you come across a scene that just reaches out to be shot. This is really a nothing scene with little to actually focus on but I liked the play between the blues and the orange. So I snapped it and messed with it a bit and got this... still needs a bit of work maybe, but I though it was worth posting.

Stepping Stone Falls Revisited

 

I went down to Steppingstone Falls again today after work and got these shots.  They are HDR shots of 7 exposures each and I was loosing my light fast. I stopped the lens way down to get some blur in the water

Looking back toward the bridge.  This was my last group of exposures and the light was rapidly leaving the valley.

I love the textures in the woods.  This is such a peaceful spot.

A visiting bug

Yesterday at work this guy came into the shop for a visit and posed for me as I took a few pictures. My friend Mike spotted him and called me out to where he was waiting to have his photo taken. So thanks to Mike and thanks to the bug for these great shots.

When I went to pick him up the little bugger attacked me, I think he thought he was going to throw me to the ground. I gently walked him outside and showed him where the sunshine was. . . all the while he had me in a death grip.

It is that time of year once again when I shoot for the World Wide Panoramas event that takes place during the solstices and equinoxes.  The theme for this event is History and what better place than the birthplace of the industrial revolution, Slater Mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island

A photo from a couple of weeks ago when we went down to Newport. I worked on this image a bit in Photoshop and rather like how it came out. Comments?

September Stars

September Stars from Edward Huff on Vimeo.

Another time lapse experiment.  This time in my driveway trying to shoot some stars with a really bright moon. Short but good proof of concept... and I like the cat on the roof at the 3 second mark. . .
Shot with a Nikon D300s, Nikkor 10.5 mm lens,  f2.8, 360 ISO, 10 second exposure every 12 seconds - video is running at 30 fps.

Brenton Point Time Lapse

On Saturday night Ben, Rob, and I took our cameras and sat on the rocks in Newport for a few hours capturing some images.  This is a time lapse I shot... I was hoping for something quite different but had the exposures too short and got this instead.  It was a learning experience and hopefully next time will get it right.
