2009 November 21 Griffith Observatory
Some friends and I went to the Griffith Observatory. we had 4 carpool teams, and we were trying to get there at 4pm, some of us were just a bit late, and some of us were late. It was my first time there. Saw “Centered in the Universe” show in the Samuel Oschin Planetarium. than got to see jupitar through one of two telescopes that they use. overall, i had a good time, and i would not mind going there again, when it is less crowded and morning during the day.

WWR Expo (Wings, Wheels, Rotors)
I went to WWR Expo and tried to get some good shots of Planes, Cars, and Helicopters. I mainly went to this event to take snaps of jets and planes, but they only had a few selections, so I was kinda bumbed out. I went at noon, and stayed for 2 hours. I could have went around 9am but I was tired already from the night before due to a Halloween party I went to, just that I stayed out too long. anyway, thats a different story.

HDR Transformer Kaiyodo Optimus Prime
This weeks [10/14 to 10/21] photography assignment is Table Top. I know how to take pictures for Table Top since a few years back, and from the class of last year. It seems that every time I do it, I improve. I decided to take this assignment a bit further to do them in HDR [High Dymanic Range].
At Comic Con this year I gotten an kaiyodo action figure, and I have been looking and waiting for, which was Optimus Prime. I wanted to fine a good price for it at at Comic Con. I found a seller that had 3 left, so I gotten 2 of them for discounted price. One box is open now, and one box is staying sealed cause Optimus Prime is my favorite Autobot.
Materials
- Kaiyodo Transformers Optimus Prime Action Figure
- PVC homemade Light Tent
- Silver Sun Car Shade
- Black Acrylic
- Nikon D40
- picture sets of different exposure
- Photomatrix Pro 3
