An Incredible Resource for Framing Art DIY style
A few months back, I was contacted and given the incredible opportunity to try out American Frame’s website, service and products! Turns out, they had spotted one of my posts talking about printing and framing some of my own work, and figured that I would appreciate what it is they have to offer. So, I ...
Just a quick update…
I just wanted to put up a quick update on why I haven’t posted a lot recently. I have been traveling with my dad and the salesman from my family’s photography business to a few photography conventions out in Las Vegas. Since Friday, we have been at the PSPA and SPAA conventions (school and sports ...
Repose - Florida Long Exposure Landscape Photography
I took this a few days back and have forced myself to edit it slowly. There are times my excitement to show a new image gets the best of me and I’ll rush to post it and find myself viewing it a week later filled with ideas for how I could have made it better. ...
Sequence
This is a three minute exposure of some old pilings on Clearwater Beach. It’s actually a reprocess of an older image. I’ve found that I have been going back and reprocessing old images a lot recently. Not because there’s a lack of new work coming in. (I have actually been shooting a decent amount recently) ...
Nikon D800 - A 36.3mp detail magnet.
Nikon has finally officially announced the D800 with it’s massive 36.3mp sensor. I just downloaded a few of the sample images and took them for a spin in photoshop. Absolutely amazing detail. Looks like the D800 has a suggested retail of $2,999 and the D800E has a suggested retail of $3,299.Check out the links ...
Quick Tip: Keeping Your Vision in the Midst of Plugins & Presets
I am a huge fan of using photoshop/aperture plugins and presets. I think they allow you to work much faster, provide repeatable approaches to certain looks (for unified portfolio’s) and they’re just plain fun to use. My only reservation with plugins (I’m probably weird for feeling this way) is that I don’t want to ever ...
Thoughts on Aperture 4
I’ve mentioned here and there for quite some time that I’m an Apple Aperture user. As a RAW image catalog and conversion piece of software, it’s great. I didn’t get the chance to use Aperture 1.0 but have been using the software since just after version 2.0 and have been extremely happy. There are other ...
Before & After: Steady
I wanted to give ya’ll another look into my post production with a before and after of my new image, ‘Steady.’ It is another black and white long exposure image of that boat ramp which is just off of the Clearwater Causeway in Florida. I (obviously) removed the signs, did some sharpening, local contrast and ...
Quick Tip: Shooting Black & White Long Exposures
I would say that almost all of the long exposures that I shoot these days, end up as black and white or toned black and white images. Every so often, I’ll leave one in color but there’s something about a black and white long exposure image that just usually blows the color version out of ...
The Best Image Editor $20 Can Buy
By far, the Nik Filter plugins for Photoshop are the best plugins that I have ever worked with. They are well designed, do what they promise to and they do it fast. Needless to say, I was extremely excited to see Nik make their appearance in the iOS market (on iPad & iPhone) with Snapseed. ...
