Fotografii Ciocanesti

Am ales totuși să pun online toate fotografiile făcute de mine la Ciocănești!

Deși pe drum spre casă râvneam la un Canon EOS 400D, deși când le-am văzut pe laptop mi-am pus mâinile în cap, deși mi se păreau "poze execrabile", am decis să le păstrez și așa ca să pot evalua o eventuală evoluție în timp.

We were around 500 participants for Fotomaraton 2007, but because of the morning rain, I don't think that all of us came after all.

Here is my interpretation of the themes.

Mod-ing my Canon!

Even if I was quite unsure of the process, I finally made a little modification on my Canon A630.

It's all about the HDK firmware, which gave me:

• Shooting in RAW
• Live histogram
• Zebra mode (blinking highlights and shadows)
• DOF-calculator
• Battery indicator
• Scripts execution (exposure/focus/... bracketing, intervalometer and more)
• File browser
• Text reader
• Calendar
• Some fun tools and games :)

There are entire threads about the (non-)usefulness of RAW in Canon's P&S cameras, for S3 IS, G7 and maybe others. Even before finding these, I had the same conclusion in my mind: the work implied is not worth it. If I'll change my mind, we'll just have to wait and see. Until than I'm just going to take advantage of the rest of the neat features! ;)
