Posted on May 9, 2024
We went to the Plainsboro Preserve to take a nice walk and I decided to travel light and just took my converted IR Canon Elf 180 pocket camera. I decided to use the Chrome IR Filter on our walk. The Chrome IR filter has the “Look” of the old Kodak Aero Chrome IR film which is discontinued. The Chrome Images have a lot Red in the images. I photographed both single images and a variety of multi-image panoramas. The converted Elph 180 has a focal length of 5mm to 40mm but Full Frame focal length equivalent is 28mm to 224mm. The Featured Image is a 4 image pano taken @ 5mm and was near the start of our walk . I mostly photographed these images @ 5mm, especially for the Multi-Image Long Panoramas.
Brigantine Feeding Gulls Panorama
Posted on September 2, 2021
Quite often you will find large groups of Gulls, with a few other birds in the mix, feeding in the water channels along the Wildlife Drive. The Featured Image is a handheld 7 image panorama of a group of mainly Gulls with a couple of Snowy Egrets in the mix. Because they are actually moving along as they are feeding I shot my 7 images as fast as I could to help with the blending & to minimize their movements on the overlapping edges of the 7 images. I also upped my ISO to 1250 to get an even faster shutter speed (1/2000 sec) to minimize the fast movement of the camera’s swinging arc & also because of the moving Gulls. It also helps to shoot in the same direction the group is moving. I was using a Tamron 150-600mm @ 600mm @f/11 on a Canon R.
