About me:

My name is Chris Callahan, I have been into photography for a long time. I only recently found digital photography and have resparked my interest. I like talking about photography...even technical stuff, so drop me a line if you have a question or comment.

Equipment

Nikon N55

Canon 50D

Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM

Strobist Info

Sunlight

I usually place the sun at the center of the solar system for maximum effect in my photos

About my photography:

I mainly try to present my work as an interpretation of a memory, almost a dream. I want colors to be off and bright...I like sun flares, saturated colors and other things people might call defects. Our memory is a crazy thing, we change colors, move objects, alter faces and places. That is how I want my photography to feel...our personal interpretation of the past.

I achieve 90% of this simply with curves in Canon's DPP program before RAW conversion. It one of the most under-rated programs out there and I highly recommend it for Canon users, especially after the last update and addition of an unsharp mask. I only use photoshop to sometimes blend a gaussian layer and add vignetting (though lately I've been using picnik.) Message me if your interested in my style of shots.

I basically just want to share, anyone is more than welcome to print my photos and put them on their wall...please message for permission for websites or for commercial use.

II constantly delete my work (hence my consistently small photostream) and have become annoyingly picky. You are more than welcome to help me along with constructive criticism and feedback. I have been taking photo for years but still feel like I lack so much experience...or talent.

Thank for stopping by...keep shooting!
