59/366- Brake

Wanted to get a pic of a frog or something jumping, but oh well. Had to repair my tire so I thought I'd get a pic of the drum brakes. I wanted to make it look like an older photograph, but it didn't work out. The B&W seemed to make it more grungy

55/366- Lightning Highlighted

Was actually trying a different shot. She started to go back in the house, but I called her, and she came back. I really liked the lighting as she came back to me. She then went inside, and I had to call her a few times. She then decided to look towards the fence. I really liked the lighting and the "Retriever" -like pose

54/366- Stream

Took a hike on Skyline Dr. today. I haven't really seen much of this stream as I'm usually not up there after a raining. Was able to find some nice spots where the water looked pleasing enough to shoot. Manual HDR. This month of Digital Camera World had a section on doing Manual HDR through layer masks, so I thought I'd give it a shot, and for my first time, I'm really pleased with it! My only nit is that the water to be cleaner, and the scene less "dirty"... call it atmosphere ;)

Times are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 13secs. I also used a CP to help knock the light down to get longer exposures

52/366- Hockey Players

Went ice skating at Ice Town tonight. Was for my brother's FFA thing. There was a hocky game going so I thought I'd grab some shots before putting my camera in the locker.

I like the moment of impact. This girl had just gotten onto the ice a min before being checked by these two other guys. I think the blur adds to the intensity and excitement.

51/366- Late Work

My GF's dad is working on remodeling their house. Here, he is working on the guest bedroom. I went over to hang out ast night and loved that the window was the only light and the rest was black. Ran back to my truck to get my camera, shot up the ISO to 1600 and took a few shots. HDR in Tone Compressor

46/366- Snowboarder Jump

Went to Snow Valley today to do our sort of annual Scout Snow Day where the scouts can earn Snow Sports merit badge. Dad had to stay behind and teach the kiddies for a while, so I hit up the terrain park to get shots of some boarders and skiers jumping as using some of the obsticles. Got some good ones of this jump and a few of a fun box that I tried too, but didn't have as much action feel to it. I'll have the others up in my blog, perhaps tomorrow.

I like how the image is blurred, yet the boarder is sharp. I also like the snow flying up too. Some of the shots were good actionshots, but the snow coming off makes them better. His pose also made it stand out from the others.

45/366- Playmobile Cameraman

Dad has a little Playmobile old school camera guy. There's a shirt for gamers that says "Know your roots" and has the old rectangular Sega controller pad. I want to make one for photo geeks that says the same thing but has what's pictured here as the image

Second fail! Thought I'd be able to go home later this evening and be able to shoot, but I didn't. Good thing I took a picture with my phone when my GF and I were eating at Carls Jr for lunch. If you can guess the reason for the pic, Kudos to you. No, really. You can have a Kudos bar ;P

42/366- Light, Moon, Tree

Did a photoshoot with my friend today. We were doing the shoot in the community park. Walking from one spot, I looked up and saw the lamp and the light from it on the tree, then the Moon. Something about them lining up that pleased me.

41/366- Fan

Was actually trying to shoot another picture which wasn't coming out so well. I decided to use my Speedlight, but it really didn't do what I wanted, but I got a cool glow off my fan. Manually fired my flash behind the fan while the shutter was open. In the saturation window, I desaturated everything but the blue. Then used the contrast slider to really blow out the contrast rendering the grey as almost black. I like the glowing feel it has.

Car show today that my brother's high school was putting on as a fundraiser. There were quite a few nice looking cars there. This is a Chevelle and the first picture I took there. I just like the way the lines are in this one.
