It's A Long Way Down

So, Mr. Reeder isn't with us for much longer. Tear. Tear. That might've been fairly sarcastic, but I actually am very sad. He's been a fantastic teacher.

Agenda for the next few weeks:

Canvas Photos
Portraiture printed on the middle of canvas. Stretched canvas. Clear acrylic over top. Some layers of color mixed in around the edges to make a border.

Rubik's Cube
Photos of certain subject matter printed out and mounted on a 3x3x3 Rubik's cube made of foamcore.

HDR Landscapes and Portraiture
Using new HDR techniques, portraiture and night-time landscapes.

(This post is really more for me, than for anyone else.)

My Day.

So here's the schedule for the day that has come to pass.

1:30 pm - Wake up and eat lunch.

2:00 pm - log in to moodle.

3:00 pm - Meet Josh and take photos.

5:00 pm - Edit them to joyous proportions and go home.

7:00 pm - Dislodge a 450-500 pound wooden I-Beam with my head, lay in a pool of blood... and get rushed to the ER.

7:10 pm - Arrive at the hospital, get asked a variety of questions, get X-rays, throw up in the X-ray room, get a CAT scan, and wait for results.

10:00 pm - Diagnosis: concussion--no sizable internal bleeding.

10:30 pm - "Now, we can't numb you, so just grab hold of the bedrails and squeeze them tightly. We're going to put some staples in to you... You're not going to like me very much."

11:00 pm - Go home, eat some food.

11:30 pm - Write about my day.

Grayson

I took some photos of grayson and used a similar style as the one of Cam. I really like the top one.

Miami

One is HDR, one is mock-HDR, two are plain old single exposures.

Enjoy?

Cam

A Tree!

Leaves 2

Oi.

Long Exposures feat. Bucky and Kristin

I love this. Bucky has three heads.

Uh-huh.

Kri and her blurry face.

And finally, Kri's got it goin' on.

These photos feature Bucky and Kristin. Ta-da.

Long exposures. It's fairly self explanatory.

The Bathroom

Yum.

A Grand Piano

Okay, well, to clear it up... this isn't a grand piano. But it's a piano. And that's pretty grand.

You see?

HDR: Step By Step (A small flannel-graph tale.)

I know some people have been wondering about HDR. Here's a little example of how images can be combined to make an HDR image. Now, after combining the images I did a bit of fine tuning. HDR images don't just automatically look like this as soon as you combine the photos.

So, the first three images are the photos i used to create the HDR image. The fourth is the HDR image itself. Enjoy.

Family Set 3

These are all edited. Not a huge production, just some quick stuff.

The ones with the funny looking "chunks" of color, these past few posts, are not simply done by clicking on a filter.

P.S. (THIS IS PHOTOSHOP CS4!) woo! It's quite nice. I got it last week. I'd recommend it. =)

Family Set 1

Again, some are edited. Some are raw.

Kri's Use of Claire's Macro Lens

I did three versions. It's grand.

Enjoy.

Shalom, Children.
