So there is this tree. It's in Coronation park in Oakville. I love this tree, it has a lot of character. I have a plan to capture it in every season. Should be interesting.
So when Sonia kicked me out of the house with my camera this afternoon to go and shoot, I decided to get some shots of Coronation park. There are a lot of birds and squirrels and people around this park most of the time, so I thought it would make for some good shots. When I first got there, I set up the shot of the tree. I think it turned out great! The sky is bland, and just a flat white, but I bumped up the contrast to draw more attention to the tree. I also reduced the clarity a bit.
I took a shot of my settings on the camera and lens, so that when I go out in the spring I will have a reference. What's that you say? Just record the metadata from the shot in lightroom and bring it with you? Well, that's a very good idea, but it requires organization - something I usually lack. I always have my phone with me... :-)
Here's the shot. I took a lot of other shots today, and I will be posting on facebook as well.
ISO 400 f/4.5 and 1/250. On a tripod. 34mm focal length with my 24-70 mm lens.
When I get all four shots, I will be cropping more of the bottom of the shot out. I just cropped this to 4X5 to make it easy to post. I want the shots to be the exact same focal length, angle and depth of field, hence the tripod. I took a shot of where the tripod was positioned, so it should be easy to recreate.
