An Idea

My first try playing with HDR (high dynamic range). Basically you take 3 photos at different exposures and combine them. This allow you to capture the darkest parts and the lightest parts of a picture.

This turned out more interesting then I thought. The blue is from another light I was using for the photo. The blur in the blub is from the wires vibrating too fast for the camera to capture them and make them look still. Even at 1/4000 of a second then are still too fast.

Pictures from the week

This shot was all about the lighting in the background. The background is actually the red wall in my basement. Once again I used the LED flashlight on my cell phone wrapped in a white paper towel to diffuse it. The light from the front was a LED flash light being bounced off the ceiling. I know I'm blue but it was not what my focus was. I like the glow I get off the back wall and might have been easier had I not been taking pictures of myself again.

The intense look on Brett's face is great.

Thought it was a great picture of Adrienne, even though she might kill me for posting it.

The pain after a great workout. Good job Laura!

This is a re-post. I actually tried to edit this one, I did not crop it, enhanced the sharpness, and played with the colors. Not sure which I like better.

More Practice

More practice tonight. I will work with the more hopefully this weekend where I have more space and it is darker. Also lesson learned not to wear a dark shirt with PUMA in white.
Played made some adjustments to color, contrast, etc..

Practice

OK, not a great picture but I wanted to play around with an idea of fire coming from the faucet. Making due with that I have around the house, this was the best picture of the night. Crappy but its going to take some practice before its really good.
