brandon Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) On Sunday my roommate and I hiked up "The Chief" in Squamish. If you've never been to Squamish, The Chief is this gigantic rockface on the east side of the town. There are rock climbing routes up the face of it however we hiked a trail up the backside. The First 2 photos are 2 different shots of the same section of a stream on the way up. And this last one is the view from the top looking North/NorthWest. Squamish is the town you can see on the left of the photo. And the tall peak that heads into the clouds on the right side of the photo is Mt. Garibaldi. enjoy tknohpy was asking what sort of settings I use for the water photos and I thought I'd add this photo of me taking the photos to give an idea of what sorta balancing act/tripod placement goes into that kind of photo Edited March 26, 2009 by brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Those water shots are amazing. Is there any way to do something like that with a Sony DSC-H2 or is a SLR required to make the adjustments? I would imagine a tripod is needed as well.

brandon Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I checked out that camera and I'm not too sure if you can. You need to be able to have control of the aperture and shutter speed for shots like that. If that camera does have some manual options then it shouldn't be a problem. And a tripod is also a must Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tknohpy Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Do you mind if I ask what settings you use to get that water effect? I am new to the SLR world and haven't venturd into the manual end of things yet. I love the way that water looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An H-2 is very capable of such shots, but you'd need a neutral density filter to slow your shutter speed. Stacking it with a polarizing filter would be a benefit as well.

Cast-Away Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Nice shots Brandon. Did you take any shots of the rock face itself? Have you photographed Shannon Falls? The old mining museum in "Sqeemish" was used in a couple of episodes of the X Files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I didn't take any of the rockface itself. It was pretty cloudy when we started the hike and then pretty much dark when we finished so hopefully next time I will. And I've only been to the tourist lookout at shannon falls. There is a hike to get to the upper falls which I will be doing in the summer. And those photos were taken at ISO 200, f22, and a 1-3 second shutter speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfish1965 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Many of the non-SLR have the ability to run CHDK software which gives you complete control of every setting. I run it bootable from the SD card and am now playing with different exposures, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmondrs Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Great job (as usual!), Brandon. Love the water shots... Os Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmondrs Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Oh, and yes... the shot of you taking a water shot is brilliant. Did you have someone take that shot, or had another camera on a delayed exposure? Either way, it's brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 conveniently my roommate who I hiked with is also a photographer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pameladallaire Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I actually like the one of you taking the photograph best. LOL It gives it scale and a human touch. Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
