Discover: San Diego Chapter
Mission: Capture the fast moving life style of many San Diegoians.
Product: What I did was setup my Canon 5D Mark iii with the 24-105mm L lens onto my Manfrotto tripod. I also used the Canon RSN trigger to help keep camera shake minimal. I set my camera to HDR model and allowed it to take 3 consecutive shots, once the camera built the image I took the photo to lightoom to finish some small edits and clean up any additional noise.
I originally shot the photo in Tv model, I shot at a 1/15 of a second and was able to get a nice blue but had troubles with the lighting. I also upped the ISO but received too much noise. Clarity was a must for me, my final resolution was HDR mode and was completely impressed with the image.

Product: As you see, this shot was again produced from my Canon 5D Mark iii with the 24-105m L lens, This beautiful took a lot of steady hand movement. This photo is produced with the Canons HDR mode, it took 3 consecutive shots while being stabalized on my manfrotto tripod. The outcome is absolutely gorgeous but still a work in progress. I am going to throw it in Photoshop/Camera Raw to fix some shadows and clarity.
Side note: I forgot my trigger and had to use my steady hand and tripod to capture this shot in HDR.

Mission: Still life Portrait with minimal lighting
Product: As you can see, this photo is not an edit but one of my stock RAW images. Its a work in progress, but I wanted to capture the essence of movement in relfective lighting indoors. I believe that I hit it dead on, once edited the image will be cleared up and ready for print. The photo itself is very expressive, from the audience to the solo gentlemen on the left. The train and art in the background bounce just the right amount of light to show its reflective cover. Tripods were not allowed and this image was done all by harnessing my bodies energy and keeping still. Very complicated when working with low lighting. ISO is brought up a little to over compensate.
Equipment: Canon 5D Mark iii; 24-105mm L
