I wanted to experiment with capturing the curves of the chrome blender I have on the bar. I found it very challenging to balance the amount of flash versus the chrome and getting a bounce back. I still did some post processing to bring the image back to life but still not happy. Also if [more]
The wife suggested I try getting some of the lines of her purse. I liked the idea of seeing how I could handle the contrast. I am pretty happy with it. I am still a little frustrated with not getting it straight out of the camera and needing to crop & rotate but I checked [more]
The light coming off the candle caught my eye. I took some shots while the sun was still out and I was not very happy with the outcome. So I waited until it was darker and took this shot with the lights off. It is just ambient light from the candle. I thought about running [more]
I just wanted a fun shot. So I decided to play with flash and depth of field with one of the frogs I have. He is now hanging out on my desk helping to keep the trackpad from moving, every so often he does the same thing for the mouse. He is a lot denser [more]
I wanted to experiment with bouncing off of different surfaces. I am not real thrilled with the outcome of this one, but the moon was the best color for me. The shadow was still more defined than what I wanted. I am thinking that next will be a longer exposure on a tripod instead. Date [more]
This picture is of the purple flowers Jennifer planted in front of the house. I was experimenting with depth of field. The focus falls away like I had hoped. It is interesting to me how the focus falls down the image and the way that the characteristics of the blur changes. The only processing that [more]
I wanted to experiment with other backgrounds and positions of objects. So just to change things up I figured I would try the dinosaur squirt bottle. No matter what I tried I did not get whimsy in the picture so I am going with the most color correct one I have. Nothing too bad just [more]
Not everything scales as one would think. I wanted to try the marble shot with a bigger glass and more marbles, tripling the amount of marbles. It was much more difficult to create the same effect as previously caught. I know part of it is the flash setting. I also am going to have to [more]
I like this picture as it captures the night pretty well. I know that there are things I could have done better. However it does the important thing of capturing the memory. I took this picture at the concert/performance of Mike DOughty I went to in Chicago with my wife. You can see the rest [more]
I liked the colors of the wall and the way it curved. It is in my home away from home, O’Hare airport, Does it count as a lamp?
