D300 Double Exposure

by Sherri on March 4, 2009

narcissus Nikon D300 double exposure of a Narcissus plant in my yard. I've been trying a lot of new things with my Nikon D300 lately. The most recent thing I tried was a multiple exposure. The first sign of spring here in the Sierra Foothill's is usually the abundance of Narcissus "springing" up everywhere. I decided they would be a good subject to use for my multiple exposures. I can remember making them many years ago with my Canon A-1. With the older cameras, you had to do a lot of math to create them. Making them with the D300 was a "piece of cake!" All I had to do was decide how many exposures I wanted to make on a single frame and it did the rest. Enjoy! Thank you for visiting.

Frozen Leaves

by Sherri on February 2, 2009

Frozen leaves, Auburn, California. These leaves were just too pretty to not get noticed. I found them lying in a ditch in my neighborhood, during my early morning walk. To get this color effect, I used the "Direct Positive" preset in Adobe Lightroom 2.1. I also set the "clarity" to +100 in the development module. This photo was also shot on my Nikon D300 at ISO 6400. This was a low-light situation and I didn't have a tripod with me. So, I decided it was another good opportunity to experiment with the higher ISO's on the Nikon D300. Thank you for visiting.

A Day at the River #2

by Sherri on November 21, 2008

Ripples on the American River, Weimar, California

This shot was taken at about 4:30 in the afternoon. The light was starting to get really good down in the American River Canyon. I was open to photographing anything that caught my eye that day.

I looked down at the crystal clear water and saw these beautiful ripples with blue streaks running through them. That was a photo opportunity I couldn't pass up!
