This is one of those things that really gets me bothered by the standards that are used to determine what is acceptable in media. This is the most awful group portrait I have ever seen. I think my family portrait came out better (and I wasn’t even behind the camera for it). The first thing […]
I have been delaying packing the toploading bag for the D90 because I really had no clue what to put in it when I was in the same room with the bag and all of the potential things to put in it. It is starting to seem a little clearer now that I am away […]
I wasn’t directly in a photographic mood today. The clouds and overall feeling of the day left me in kind of a 17% gray kind of mood. The only thing that inspired me at all today was the sky, and that was a long shot. I’m hoping tomorrow is better.
These chrysanthemums are such a wonderful shade of pink, unfortunately, I had great difficulty getting them to come out just right in a photo. I have fought with myself over which image should be day 9 in my Project 365, so I finally decided to remain “artistically” indecisive and combine the two. The purist forms […]
For my own records, and for anyone who may be interested, this is my image coding system, it identifies how an image file is to be named once it has been processed, post-processed or manipulated after initial shooting. Nikon D-SLR Class Naming System: DSC_9999.jpg/DSC_9999.nefCropped Naming: DSC_9999-1.jpg, DSC_9999-2.jpg OR DSC_9999-800×600.jpg, DSC_9999_16x9Straightening (not rotation): same as croppingResize: […]
Not quite the normal level of interest for a daily photo, but I realized that I have never really taken a photo of my model locomotive before.
My new Lowepro Toploader Pro 75 AW arrived today, and I must say, as a camera bag, it is a little overwhelming. I was expecting something to just replace my present “holster” which is basically a padded leather case that is designed to match the shape of a camera. This bag is more substantial, having […]
Working with some new backgrounds, trying some remote lighting and some other fun stuff. I really had nothing originally for day 7, so I decided to try something to salvage the day, otherwise, it was a picture of a box (its in the photostream if you are bored). I took this photo based on something […]
I have been fascinated with the way that beverages, glass and light interact recently. I have been trying to capture the essence of that fascination, but it does not translate to photography well. This image is a positive step towards being able to capture it, although, I still can not actually focus fizz.
Out of all of the shots I took yesterday, I don’t know why I picked this one. This one jumped out at me. Something about the 3 different areas of light against an otherwise dark composition seems interesting. I did this shot right after doing my own attempt at a “challenge shot” that I had […]
