Biology

This shot looks strange to me, but I like it. I'm not quite sure what the camera focused on. This was just an extra random thing I shot as I was out today.

I also wanted to point out, In case you didn't know, I've taken a break from posting on my main blog for a while.

But I just wanted tell you that, you can still get your daily dose of Brian on my twitter...yeah.

Mighty Kong has woken from his slumber!

dear vienna

I regarded the world as such a sad sight
Until I viewed it in black and white
Then I reviewed every frame and basic shape
And sealed the exits with caution tape
Don’t refocus your eyes in the darkness
And don’t remember this place unless
I describe all the things that you cannot see
And we’ll unravel the mystery

I decided I want to start taking photos based off of songs, however vaguely related they might end up xD I just want to get a little more creative.
This song is called Dear Vienna by a guy called Owl City.

Sophistication

Probably one of my most favorite shots ever.

After this shot I started a list of cars I would like to photograph.
My main hope is to get my most favorite car of all time.

Porsche's "911 Carrera S type"

And nope I didn't have to look that up.
Yes, I am that big of a nerd.

If your wondering what my chances are.
There is within 10 miles from my home, the Porsche dealership for the greater Chattanooga area.

Yeah.

Juicy Juicy Juicy

This is from a basketball game that I shot last night.  FSU vs. UNC.  We lost.  Am I surprised?  The answer to that riddle my friends is no.  Last second buzzer beater, 80-77, in case you were curious.

This is the Cleveland Clinic building a few minutes away from where I live
I edited the curves (mostly blue and red) in gimp to give it that vintage-y look that I like [too much] :P And to give it a little contrast

D

D's idea, which is weird.  He normally hates having his picture taken but today he was eager to take this one.  I thought it was pretty funny, having him "pray" while he was wearing his gangster hat and jacket.  

Location was my house.  More specifically, in my living room.

Photoshop ninja secrets: "Maybe...This Time" action.  I made this for use with portraits.  Desaturates and exaggerates highlights, adds red tones to the shadows, blue to the midtones, and yellow to the highlights.  If you have photoshop cs2 or above let me know your email in the comments and I'll send you the action.

Alright-y then.

This shot was taken today. And the location is somewhere around my neighborhood.

I really like that Reid added the spec's to his photo's
So I'll add mine.

aperture: f4.5
shutter: 1/80
ISO: 400

special things done: Shot B/W in camera, and converted to cyanotype. Then layered photos of trees and red paint spots.(those where photographed by me)
Oh, and all that was done between Lr & GIMP in anyone cared to know.

Also, I know Nick I'm really sorry, I've not gotten the labels up yet, but I'm putting them up today. So the labels Nick came up with:

indoors,
outdoors,
antique,
architecture,
wide angle,
macro, nature,
city/urban,
landscape,
black and white,
night, portrait,
people,
long exposure,
candid/humor,
animals,
sepia,
food,
abstract,
event.

So I'll go ahead an add those. You'll also notice I added our names.

If you have any more let me know via here or email.

Ps, I'll let you go back and label your own posts, because I've no idea what you'll want to label yours as.

Lovers of Loving Love

So...I bought a d300 from B&H last week, and it came in the mail yesterday!  I haven't had time to fully play with it yet, as the LOST season premiere was on last night, so obviously my night was full.  Hopefully by next week I should have some pictures from it.

On another note, I was thinking that it might be useful if we included basic information about the photos; like what lens we used, and basic exposure information.  That way we might be able to better advise on how to fix photos/be able to see how people did what they did.  Feel free to shoot me down on this one if you want.

Both of these photos are from a wedding I shot with a photographer in Tallahassee last November.

Any idea why this looks like this? Its supposed to be the Jefferson Memorial... buuuut
instead its... i dont even know.
I saved it as a png and that usually isnt a problem.
now im annoyed.




ANYWAYS
this was what i was going to say:

I took this last April when I went to DC with the school I was in at the time. I figured with the big inauguration and excitement over there, it was kind of appropriate :] In other words, I have nothing else and the inauguration made me think of DC obviously xD and this is one of my favorites

No recent photos yet because as some of you already know I had some computer viruses that were giving me grief for almost a week, lol. So I had to restore my computer and I installed Windows Vista and now I have no idea what im doing xD I had to reinstall everything
aaand yeah.
its crazy, lol.

Re: Monday (Missed) Post...

Hey guys, Mr. Tim here.
I am sorry I missed Monday's post. I was swamped with school and such, and was unable to post for that day. Which brings up the question, do I post the next day (being Tuesday), or post two image posts next Monday? This is something I have been wondering since we started. And (I would think) this applies to every.

Thanks,

Here is one image to make up for Monday,
Enjoy
