Gerberas again

2006-04-15T18:44:00.000-04:00

Needed to take some pictures to finish a roll. Brandie had received flowers for her birthay and they had a red gerbera in it. And here we are

Statue and Tower (A40)

2006-02-19T18:25:00.000-05:00

Not sure I like this... the effect isn't right but I like the angle. Might have to fool around with this one and see if I can make it ok. Should be better in the film version - real film should retain the detail in the statue and blur the tower in a more realistic way.

Frozen Again (A40)

2006-02-19T18:12:00.000-05:00

Ice running down a concrete wall. Ran through a cross-processing action.

Thumb tack

2006-01-25T18:52:00.000-05:00

Thumb tack run through a cross-processing action. Nees more light though...

Book lover? (Elan 7)

2006-01-03T21:42:00.000-05:00

With a different angle of light it would be more effective but this works.

Freezing Rain 2 (Elan7)

2006-01-03T21:40:00.001-05:00

More freezing rain. Needs better light.

Photoshop - Capital (Razr)

2005-12-24T09:58:00.000-05:00

Another version of the Capital Music Hall picture. I got the red out using the selection tool, inverted selection and applied channel mixer to the outside. Then lots of paint bucket to get the red back as close as possible, gaussian blur (faded) and mono noise (faded). Is there any easier way to achieve this effect (and with more accuracy?)

Streetside - Capital Music Hall (Razr)

2005-12-24T09:17:00.000-05:00

Capital Music Hall. Cropped and auto leveled. Never saw the pigeon when taking it. :)

2005-12-24T09:15:00.000-05:00

2005-12-18T19:51:00.000-05:00

Impressive as it is. The busses are slow enough these days to do this on the way.

The point

2005-12-17T18:19:00.000-05:00

Posting some pictures from the last two weeks taken with my cel phone. I got a Razr and it has a camera on it. Its not the best but its fine for a quick image here or there and thats the point of most photography at its heart.
