Nailed

This photo was created using a process called Focus Stacking. When taking a photo of an object up close it becomes difficult to capture the details of the whole object in focus. As one part comes in focus you will lose another. To remedy this you can take several photos focusing on different parts of the subject. The using a software program you can combine the imaging into one image. The image above was created from the 5 below. I also edited the colors and sharpness. Not perfect but pretty good.

A Learning Session

This is definitely a learning experience for me. Shooting with a Marco lens, shooting with a white background, and shooting with the light I had available made this very challenging. Just getting a uniform background was tough.

CAR SHOW PICTURES COMING SOON.

Shot while waiting for the metro. I was hoping the the lines would draw your eyes through the picture. Not sure if it works, you tell me.

Shot this on the walk to the metro. I would love to go back and get a better picture but this is what I have for now.

Still walking to the metro. Love the colors and the buildings, everything about this picture.

An old building, tried to make it interesting. Another I'm not too sure about.

Nassua Bahamas

The view from a cannon.

I wanted to post these pictures from a trip we took back in 2002. Hopefully they make you feel warm since it is so cold outside.

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..
