the Sony Alpha A33 holds highlights well.

Again, the HDR function is very useful in bright sun.

The first shot from the new Sony alpha a33 camera.

I will post some of the results of trying my new Sony camera ( a 33 ) on a personal trip. It does have some unique features that I really like after a heavy shooting week. The HDR ( high dynamic range ) tools built into the camera are great. Even more  than exposure control, you can manage the tonality of the shots in-camera.

Time to Start Shooting Again

Over the last few years we have been a bit of a drudge at Spectrum Photo and Digital Services.
We have been learning new printing techniques and other advanced technologies. As always, work stuff makes it hard to just shoot for the joy of it. Lately some staff have been having fun shooting baby pictures, so we decided to do a camera upgrade and shoot more travel and landscape photography. We got a new Sony alpha a33 to see what the latest and greatest type of prosumer dslr has to offer, so we will be sharing some results ( photos! ) over the next few weeks. The first new item to look at is the availbility to do a auto-bracketed shot to edit as an hdr image in Photoshop. The Sony camera allows an in-camera option of one optimized file or shooting three images in quick succession.
The first conclusion is to stay with 8 bit per channel when saving your final work if you want anybody on the internet to be able to see the photo! You can work in hi-bit modes while adjusting, but the real world still mostly revovles around 24 bit color.

Glowing objects are difficult to photograph. And we don't see many of these cars around here.

The new Fuji Finepix x100 is very exciting.

The new Fuji Finepix X100 is coming out soon - a very interesting new camera. The sample photos are very engaging. The camera itself looks like a 1950's rangefinder camera.

The first "Million Dollar Photo" ?
