My random life, infront of the lens.

Two is always better than one...

Double exposures... This is nothing new, been around for quite some time. Recently it caught my attention, so I decided to give one a shot. Now I may have become slightly obsessed with them. This was the first one I tried and I am hooked. Plan on seeing plenty more of these, as this may turn into a series. 

41/52...

here is a panorama i shot this week while i was in Jacksonville, Florida for work. it turned out surprisingly well due to the fact that when it was shot i was slightly inebriated, and had no tripod with me. this was had held with my canon 28-135 at F3.5 and ISO 3200!!!

i think i got lucky on this one.

single file please...

here is a shot i did on the same day as 40/52...

literally a short walk on my local bike path, led to many beautiful photos. this one is not HDR, the wind was too high for me to get a decent bracketed exposure. so i shot to the left and really underexposed the sky. the sun was shining directly on the trees so that helped a ton. all post was done with lightroom. i added a graduated filter to the bottom to lighten it up a bit, and boosted the vibrancy and saturation a little. probably one of the most simple photos i have taken in a while, but it turned out amazing.

thanks again for reading.

37/52...

this week i did a sunset silhouette. i went east of Sioux Falls to Arrowhead Park and shot towards Sioux Falls. nothing too special about the shot technical wise. i just waded for the sun to set below the horizon and snapped away.

i chose a tight/narrow crop on this, because i am debating on getting it printed on either Fuji high gloss, or a metallic paper, and encapsulated in plexiglass. this is very similar, ok its actually the same thing Peter Lik does for his prints. over the weekend i met a local photographer that does the same thing and was able to look at a few of his encapsulated prints. they were AMAZING. the look and reflection are so awesome. it gives a different dimension to the print. the other thing is the fact the prints last longer and can not be damaged as easy!

as always, thanks for looking/reading.
