So Many Maricars

This was a quick one and an experiment. Not perfect but it was a fun learning experience.

Slacking

Not really slacking the last two weeks. I even made it out once to take pictures but everything I took was crap. So I'm posting some older pictures this week. With everything settling down I should be back to it by next week.

Taken when it was pretty dark but I like the color of the tree so I kept it.

Ahhhh. I picture of Jamaica to keep us warm through the snow. Jamaica her we come again in March.

Of course there is always a great picture of Max.

A little bit of everything

Long Exposure and a little bit of a zoom in makes for an interesting effect.

This is part of a long exposure shot that was taken while in the car. This was the most interesting part of the framed so I cropped the rest out. Kind of cool abstract.

Tower Club Tysons Corner. I like the long columns running up the front of the building. I also got wait I wanted but was in too much of a hurry because of the cold. I would like to be a little more center to get all the columns separate.

Sculpture

A building in Tysons Corner. I like the blue lights running up the front of the building. I could not get the angle I wanted because I van was parked in the way. Also would have like the blue to be more clear but think the problem is with my lens.

Joe!

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.

Amazing.

I hope to have bad pictures like this one day.

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.

Self Portrait

The original shot was very dark so I tweaked the contrast, brightness and mid-tone, also cropped it.

Cropped.

The picture says it all.

Portrait 2

Not sure why I left this one out so I wanted to post it.
