Another shot from July 4th

I really like the multiple elements at work in this image. I enjoy the guys on the motorcycle doing their stunt, but I also enjoy the folks observing the stunt as well. From the gentleman in the foreground who is watching his fellow club members perform their stunt, to the townsfolk watching it from along the side of the street.

Portrait of a Patriot: Sam Bloomfield

So, I was at the 4th of July parade in Everett today when I was approached by this fella with a sign and an umbrella asking me to take his photo. "Sure" I said thinking to myself how cool the guys face paint was. As I held up my camera I noticed that his face wasn't painted. It was a full on tattoo! Whoa! I took some snapshots of him and let him know I was putting them up on the internet. So, here we are! I gotta say, this guy is probably one of the most patriotic people I've seen lately, and he has the tats to prove it! You can read more about Sam at this link to the Seattle Post Intelligencer article from 2008.

Oil and Water

Suspension

Globes

This shot was created using a reverse mounted lens focused on a shallow glass pan of water mixed with oil and lit with an off camera flash. The pan was set about 8" off the surface of a table. Placed on the table underneath the pan was a child's drawing. I focused the lens on the smaller bubbles that were acting as lenses themselves and showing a smaller, focused version of the artwork underneath.

Macro Shot

Testing out the macro capability of the Canon S90. Considering these flowers are about the width of a dime each, I'd say it did a pretty good job!

Bridge and Ferry

Deception Pass Bridge Sunset

Photo taken this evening. Taken from Cornet Bay looking west towards Deception Pass Bridge moments after sunset. 1 second exposure, metered off of the brightest part of the sky. I used a circular polarizer filter mounted to the lens as well as a handheld graduated filter in front of it. ISO 100, aperture at F16. Shot in Canon RAW format and converted to .jpg in photoshop. This is how it looked coming straight out of the camera, the only adjustment I made is to apply some sharpening to the image after reducing it down in size. Camera was a Canon Eos 50D mounted to a tripod using a Canon 70-200mm F4 L lens.

The Chess Player

In this shot I took two separate images of myself playing chess. Also in each different image I used different colored gels in each image. I then combined them into photoshop and blended the images by moving one onto the other, adjusting the opacity and then further painting in the second image to make it solid. It was a lot of work!
