Just One Tree

I took a short walk in the neighborhood tonight with the D80, this time with the 50mm f/1.8, thinking the extra stop would be useful as the light faded. As shutter speeds started dropping below what I can hand hold, particularly on a walk when I pause and shoot, I put the on camera flash into action. I dialed the flash compensation down by between 1.5 and 2.5 stops. It was enough to isolate foregrounds in the light and bring the shutter speed up to 1/30th.

I'm an MD, PhD Neurologist who left a successful academic career on the Faculty of The Johns Hopkins Medical School to develop new treatments in Biotech and Pharma. I became fascinated with how people actually make decisions based on the science of decision theory and emerging understanding of how the brain works to make decisions. My passion now is this deep explanation of what has been the realm of philosophy, psychology and self help but is now understood as brain function. By understanding our brains, I believe we can become happier, more successful people.
