11:59 pm 1/31/10 - Disco
Ball
 We
have this coolest Christmas tree ornament that's a miniature disco
ball. Every year it's placed on the side facing the window so it
occasionally catches the low winter sunlight. In this image, I
converted the HDR image using Photoshop's built-in B+W
converter, which allows you to manipulate the red, green, and blue
levels (much like a filter for a lens).
8:30 pm 1/6/10 - Christmas
Tree and Reflection
Note: After working for four months I had the
necessary funds to purchase a Nikon
D90 and 18-105mm
VR lens.
Most, if not all future photographs will be taken with this awesome
camera. In case you're wondering, there was nothing wrong with the Minolta
Dimage Z1 I've been using
forever, I just need more printing
ability than 3 megapixels was giving me.
  1.
In this portrait of a Christmas
Tree, I
didn't capture it as a whole, but made it share the image with the
bookshelf, lamp, and chairs.
2.
In the Family
Room is a couch. At the end of the couch is a table.
On that table is a lamp. Halfway up the brass lampstand is a somewhat
spherical section that reflects the scene nicely. I laid the camera on
a stack of books, myself on the couch, and fired away multiple
exposures.

Lights
A few weeks ago I took a point-and-shoot camera, put it in low-light
mode (which makes it take longer exposures), and went wild with it:
spinning, panning, twirling - all while aiming at the tree. I must of
looked real weird doing that with a camera, but boy was it fun!
 
 
11:30 am 12/5/09 - Fountain
Pond
and Glade
at
Dusk
Here are some more previously unpublished photos. These were taken on
one beautiful evening late in September.
  1.
Right beside lake near our house, there's a pond where roses bloom and
a fountain sprays upwards in the summer time.
2.
On another side
of this lake, the walking trail splits and goes around a wetland glade.
7:50 pm 11/24/09 - Jack-o'-Lantern: scary
or welcoming?
  I
often find myself trying to decide if I should use an extreme or
conservative tone-mapper on my HDRI's. It always depends on what mood
I'm trying convey, but in this instance, I feel that both unsettling
and welcoming versions are appropriate when the content is a pumpkin.
What do you think?
6:00 pm 11/22/09 - Seven
Bales
and Moonrise
Yes, I know I haven't posted anything new in
exactly 2 months, but I can explain: I've been busier than ever with
a part-time job and PSEO courses. However, I haven't stopped
doing
what I do best, and I'm now catching up on publishing my work. I'll
start with some more lake cabin photos that I didn't post before.
  1.
The evening sky was clear as can be, and I still can not think of a
more peaceful place than the hay bales across the road from the cabin.
2.
After the sun
set, the full moon rose above the horizon with a golden glow, brought
on by its light having to travel through miles of atmosphere.
11:15 pm 9/22/09 - Loons
and Jet
Ski
Splash
  1.
On Labor Day weekend up at the
family cabin, a couple loons were quietly enjoying the evening until a
motorboat rudely
interupted
the peace.
2.
One of our favorite pastimes is getting drenched on the water
trampoline by someone speeding by with the jet ski; except this time I
stayed dry.
