Playing with ‘Tv’ Exposure Mode
Today was a clear day for the city of rain, Seattle. 
I got a chance to test out the Tv mode in my camera and quite satisfied with the results actually.
I found out how the light stretch effect works using the Tv. Since that’s all about shutter speed, I had used in variances from 3 to 15 seconds slow. Below are some of the shots that were taken.

Downtown Seattle Buildings/Infrastructures
About two days ago, I managed to shoot some more photos of the downtown Seattle buildings. It was a cloudy day (after rain) and I set my camera to the same settings Av + ISO100. The results turned out to look alright, I think I saw some improvement on the way I took the shot. But still yet I need to get used playing the aperture more often.
Below are some of the snapshots:

Photo at Alki Beach, Seattle
On the way home back from church, I stopped by the Alki Beach and found a place where I can quietly take photos of the downtown Seattle. The sun was behind me. I set my camera to ‘Av’ with F3.5 – F5.0 and I took some shots and I was not much happy with the result of it. One: the noice is too much. So many of them. I don’t know what’s wrong with it but my guess will be either the sun shining down on the objects or the ‘Av’ mode that I had on. Two: hmm nothing I can think of hehe since I was blinded by the “noice” in the pictures. Maybe I should try to avoid the ‘Av’ mode and the sun shines next time. Below are some of the pictures that I think, at their best.

Dusk Photo Session
I think it was on Tuesday, that I woke up quite early in the morning and as I walked out to my living room, I saw the sky was reddish orange. Wow it was amazingly beautiful, so I took out my tripod and camera and started taking pictures of the horizon. Then I tried to convert the RAW to JPEG format, I saw so much noise in the pictures. I was using ISO 100, Av mode and shooting timer. What could I do wrong, then in the program, I had to lessen the sharpness to 0 (it was 3) and it actually softened up the rough edges where the bright light (the sun) shine.
The below picture is actually the result of it. Anyone has some ideas about this noise? Thanks!

Seattle Downtown Try-out Part 1
Couple days ago, I brought my camera to work and decided to take some photos around downtown Seattle. It was too bright outside and could not get the right contrast on the photos. Below is what the best I can do:
Photo at Queen Anne, Seattle
Ahh this was my very first photo shots when I got my first dSLR Canon Rebel XTi.
I was using the EFS 18-55mm lens (The standard lens the comes with the body). It worked great. I think I like the photos that I have taken for these.
I think it was around 9PM in the evening and the sky was very clear. I was at the sightseeing point in Queen Anne overlooking Downtown Seattle and Alki Beach. I took quite a number of photos and only two are made it to this post hehe.
