i don't really like your eyes in the first one but overall awesome pics

Someone contacted me about videotaping their kid's baptism, and the party afterwards. I foresee a very wild party, FYI.

She wants video, and not photography, so I told her I couldn't do it. The only videotaping I've done is on an existing setup in an academic setting.

Anyone have any recommendations? If you're interested, I'll give you the when and where, and her email address.

9/12/2008 3:50:13 PM

better?

9/12/2008 7:48:13 PM

your stuff is actually pretty good for the most part--no offense, but i'm honestly surprised in a good way

9/12/2008 7:49:00 PM

haha...thanks? I guess I was in an off mood yesterday because those flower ones didn't sit well but I posted them anyways. Today I turned on that eye again and think I hit success.

GOD I FREAKIN HOPE SO.

I use http://www.mpix.com for digital prints of decent quality. For really cheap, small prints I just send from flickr to target.

I've got a full sized tripod I'm looking to get rid of for 10 dolla bucks. I got a Manfrotto, so I don't need this.

only catch is that mine is only 90% functional. The tilt control will lock in, but to unlock it you will probably need some pliers. Right now it's set to be pretty firm, but still movable, which should be perfect for something lightweight (Rebels, D40s, etc.)

whitehouse custom color



booyah!

9/13/2008 6:48:06 PM

I printed a few at Target today and I won't print there again. Either they postprocess the pictures they print or the printers are set up funny, but my prints came out too warm and oversaturated.

I did notice that Costco has good prices, an 8x10 for $2. 4x6 for 16¢ each.

Kiwi, the ring always looks better on the hand.

9/13/2008 10:18:30 PM

like so?

9/13/2008 10:48:25 PM

yea, her nails look like shit

[Edited on September 13, 2008 at 10:50 PM. Reason : esp for that kind of picture]

9/13/2008 10:50:03 PM

hmm i dont see it

9/13/2008 10:51:03 PM

her ring fingernails on both hands are different than the rest of the nails.. it looks tacky is the nicest way i can say it

9/13/2008 10:51:48 PM

OH THE PAINTED PART

all the girls did that

9/13/2008 10:54:15 PM

yea. that.. the rest looks fine

9/13/2008 10:56:09 PM

She will like the picture because she chose to have her nails painted. shes really pretty otherwise but im not doing anymore editing tonight

These are from a session I did yesterday of a super active pup who had NO training.

I think this perfectly describes belle



This was belle at the end of the session

9/14/2008 8:31:00 AM

That dog is gorgeous. Great shots!

9/14/2008 10:03:44 AM

thank you!!

9/14/2008 10:06:04 AM

on our D40 we leave it on the default size which is way too huge to post in here... what do y'all use to make the picture smaller but retain the quality?

9/14/2008 10:13:27 AM

^ aside from photoshop?

host on flickr, post the "medium" picture

[Edited on September 14, 2008 at 10:17 AM. Reason : .]

i didn't realize how expensive photoshop was until i thought about buying it

9/14/2008 12:13:09 PM

Great shots of the dog. How do you achieve the 'all white background' effect?

<---n00b

9/14/2008 12:50:40 PM

light background... dark dog... slightly over exposed

i like the personality in that picture by the way.

I GOT A NEW LENS!

70-200 sigma. its pretty damn big. if it is this big then the 70-200 nikon wouldn't have even fit in my bag.

9/14/2008 12:53:36 PM

^^didn't you ask that a few months ago?

Different question -- I could tell the one done with the dog wasn't on a white sheet, whereas I could tell JBaz was using...something for the product shots.

9/14/2008 1:04:52 PM

Jbaz was probably either using a white paper or cloth background...

hell if your flash hits hard enough sometimes you don't even need a white backgorund to get a white background lol

9/14/2008 1:07:29 PM

the background on my flower ring shots is a bright blue but playing around i could get it to be black

9/14/2008 1:11:38 PM

hell i've taken pictures with no background that ended up black... just made the flash not hit anything important and kept the room dark.

no photoshop btw

My fiancee bought me an early Christmas present -- an Ikelite underwater housing for my Canon A570IS P&S camera. dSLR housings are $$$texas (at least $1,000 bare minimum for the cheap ones) and this one was $265.

While I'd love to have a dSLR for underwater stuff I can't justify it right now. Plus, P&S cameras have some slight advantages for certain aspects of diving. For example -- with one camera I can do macro, wide-angle, and movies all in the same dive. The issue with dSLR's underwater is that you can't change lenses, so if you have a wide-angle lens and you drop down into yucky visibility, it's useless. The opposite is true for using macro lenses. And of course, there's no video function...

I got the A570IS specifically for underwater work. It takes nice video, has full manual control, and you can use the CHDK hack to shoot RAW (important for underwater). Also takes nice shots above water too.


Probably going to test it in the pool on Tuesday.

Thanks chocolatervh and CharlesHF Although I don't market what I do as studio photography (b/c, well, it isn't) I do look for the opportunity to create a similar effect using on-location shots. The clients seem to like it as it is unexpected.

For this shot: , Belle was actually laying partially on carpet, partially on the kitchen floor with a wall, refrigerator, and cabinets behind her. I combined the original RAW shot with one that I overexposed a few stops (using CS3's raw editor)...brought back the original exposure of the dog...removed the leftover background and foreground elements...then processed it for a high-key look

9/14/2008 3:28:46 PM

It's a fucking mirror.

9/14/2008 3:34:56 PM

fuck you

9/14/2008 3:38:39 PM

Also, the black and white photos with colored flowers/etc is possibly one of the lamest and most unoriginal things you can do.

That photo could use some levels adjustment as well.


And again...
