Since I was a small child, visual stimulation has been an important factor in my life. From the stereo color nature slides a doctor used during eye therapy, to my first camera at eight years old. And my Uncle Tony whom had the coolest darkroom.

Tumalo creek
Tumalo Creek
This is a shot of Tumalo Creek just before the bridge to Tumalo Falls. The file was originally a three bracket image processed by Lightroom and Google Nik's Color Efex Pro 4. I recently also used Google Nik's Viveza. I finished the image by cropping and re-sizing in On1 Photo.

Reciprocal Exposures
The above chart is based on the sunny 16 rule. The rule being that on a sunny day with an f/stop of f/16 the ISO and shutter speed will be of like values. In the film days the ISO was predetermined by the film. So film with an ISO of 100 you would set the shutter speed at 1/100 or 1/125 of second. Beyond that the above chart shows many equivalent exposures based on changing the ISO and f/stop.
