An eBay Listing (day 91)

April 1, 2010 by David

A fantastic 1961 Aurora Frankenstein model which we put no eBay.  We shot him on white and black, but the black turned out better.

Good Little Leaf! (day 90)

March 31, 2010 by David

I noticed the tree in the front of our house only had a few leaves left.  All the others which had been hanging on have fallen to the ground and are screaming to be raked.  Since this outstanding leaf is still on the tree it is saving me work and is worthy of a posting in my blog!

I need to rake soon...

Another Test Image (day 89)

March 30, 2010 by David

This is another image using my new 85mm lens.  It is just this ugly old flower on the antenna of the van, but I kind of like how this one turned out….

HDR Attempt (day 88)

March 29, 2010 by David

I have been playing around with creating HDR (High Dynamic Range) images.  This is a simple image of my grill brush where I used this technique a bit.  This one doesn’t really have the pop of many of the images I have seen on the internet, so I have a ways to go yet to perfect this technique.

The Grill Outback (day 87)

March 28, 2010 by David

Today my new 85mm, 1.4 Canon lens arrived.  I was excited to get the lens and took it around the yard capturing many images to see what it could do.  I am very happy with the results and enjoy making artistic looking images our of ordinary items.

BWCA Valley (day 86)

March 27, 2010 by David

Another panoramic, this time it was a series of images stitched together which were taken as we drove out of the BWCA.  The valley looked so inviting, I am not sure why, hehe, can you see it?

Seattle From The Air (day 85)

March 26, 2010 by David

Flying confession, this was taken after the flight attendant told us to turn off all electronic devices for our landing.  I couldn’t help but ignore her  for a few minutes anyway an capture a few images coming into Seattle.

The Curvy Road Home (day 84)

March 25, 2010 by David

On our way home from the BWCA in northern Minnesota we stopped at a scenic overlook in Duluth.  I took a series of images and stitched them together once we got home to create this image.  This thumbnail is really small and unfortunately a bit tough to make out the curvy road running across the bottom.

I could have straightened it in GIMP...

Sunset, Third Attempt (day 83)

March 24, 2010 by David

I tired for this photo two nights previous to this and was schooled at just how fast the sun sets.  By the time I got to the lake, got my camera set up the sun would already be behind the treeline.  This night I finally got the shot I wanted.

Sky, Land, and Lake (day 82)

March 23, 2010 by David

This panoramic image of a nearby lake, the image displayed here is very small, but full size we could make a huge poster out of this bad boy!
