A Few Randoms!

A Photo form CenterFest!

Sorry Blog has been Blah!

Well here is my first entry with no pictures, well...maybe my second! I haven't been taking to many pics of late the weather has been blah, and I can only upload so many of my man cave, before people start to yawn. I should be out in full force this weekend hanging out with family!

My first roll of 120 film (Medium Format) from my Holga has been sent off, but it takes like 3 weeks to to get Medium Format Film processed :( On my second roll now and want to burn this roll up quick, as I have bought some 35mm for the Holga, and can't wait to try it out. I love the effect of the the picture running in to the sprocket holes of the film, I will add a link to example below.......

Nevermind I'll just add the picture! LOL

Anyways I have uploaded a few new ones on flickr so if you click on the picture of me holding the camera it will take you to my flickr! --------------->

Jackson's Birthday

Kaiden and I got invited to Jackson's birthday, so we took a few images(125) well we where there!

Kaiden at Lacrosse with the 50mm aka 80mm!

So I took a few shots at Kaidens first Lacrosse game with my 50mm which is actually a 80mm with my camera the Canon 30D. The Canon EOS 30D has a 1.6x Crop Sensor, which is good FOR Tele
Photo, but is a draw back if you want to go wide!

Catch Light?

Catch light or catchlight is a photography term used to describe either the specular highlight in a subject's eye from a light source, or the light source itself. They are also referred to as eye lights or Obies, the latter a reference to Merle Oberon, who was frequently lit using this technique. A catch light may be an artifact of the lighting method, or have been purposely engineered to add a glint or "spark" to a subject's eye during photography. This technique is useful in both still and motion picture photography. Adding a catch light can help draw attention to the subject's eyes, which may otherwise get lost among other elements in the scene.

I think this is a close shot at Catch Light.......

...and a few more unedited samples!

Note to Self...dust things off before any close up flash photography!

Doug, and Mr K. Test the New Flash Out

So I tried out the new flash today, and I am really impressed with the image quality it adds! Kaiden and I had fun messing with the flash...well I did, well he hogged the computer! Here are some samples below (unedited)!

Old Meets New

So I finally found the iMac I have been looking for, a 27" with a Quad Core Processor. This computer is going to be my editing machine, in the near future. Wonder if it can be a tax right off...I think I need a accountant. :)

Now to order my editing software Adobe Light Room 2
