Well this morning, I was shooting CeLC 2010 as I was all week and while I was coming back from escorting workshop attendees across campus, I was pondering some shots on campus that I might want to shoot on the upcoming photowalk. But then it hit me… I’ve got a camera right now, I might as well scout some shots. So I went over to the Arts Quad to see if there was anything interesting to shoot between the trees, birds and the like, and as it turned out there were some birds. I was about to change the ISO to 100 to get an “optimal shot”. But then I remembered what one of the discussions at the conference about shooting at high ISO and getting the faux grain effect, so I thought… I should leave it. Sure enough, the grain seems to have worked out well – the fine details of the birds are gone, but (obviously) their camouflage is accentuated.
This shot also rose to the top this week because I was able to actually meet some hidden friends and felt very honoured and humbled for the experience. Thanks Alan, D’Arcy and many others.
