giant's causeway
I spent a mainly wet and windy week in Ireland, visiting Antrim, Sligo, Galway, and Clare.
so here I am on the Giant's Causeway getting blown about in the wind, and the spray, and the mist... One good thing about the weather - it kept the crowds away

EP Project Week 35/52 ~ "Fruit"
So I was testing a prop in front of this backdrop and decided to do the weeks theme. So how do a camera and an apple tie in together to this weeks theme you ask? Nothing, nada, zilch! Just thought the apple looked lonely so I added the camera. LOL
Hope everyone is enjoying your LONG Labor Day weekend.
Hugs to all

This week is food time, fresh after having his tea is when Charlie is happiest. I've been experimenting with some black and white photography processing, steering away from the darker style and using a lighter more vintage look.
I toyed with the idea of photoshopping out the dried food on his face, but I think it adds to the character of this photograph.

Miracle I have named him... Somehow when he was just a wee baby, he got out of the cage and was almost frozen solid when we found him.. Warmed him up and he is the most loving rat ever!!
Struggling for time and not having any decent software for editing this weeks challenge , a failure so early anyway decided to play a joker for this one and I have posted a shot from Sunday when we visited family on the solway coast.
Only 30 mins earlier we drove on this road before the high tide made it's way up and closed the road .Luckily we could get home on a different road .
Im not a street photographer by any means but with fellow photographers around me I was getting into quite confident. So much so I went up and asked this guy if I could take a pic. He obliged and Im really happy with the result.
Week 16 Theme: "Cookies"
Another theme that I'm late on. Oh well. =)
I earned this Oreo cookie biking 175 miles from Houston to Austin in 2 days on the BP MS150 this past weekend. How did you earn your cookie?

This is the beginning of my 52 weeks project. Something completely new and different for me. For my first attempt at expanding and compositing, I feel this went pretty well! :)
Flickr sharpening strikes again :(
Inspired by this.

Week #28 Monochrome - Evening at Centennial Park. While my daughters were at a concert, I was hanging around the waterfront taking a few pics. It was a perfect and relaxing evening for it!
Week 2 and the woolie's out already.....tried to spin the full length of the wall but hit it part way along and got a great fly off SOOC only cropped
Week 29/52 -
*Hit "L" to make it big!*
Week 29 adds another new face, this time it's my Dad. My Dad, Mike, is a Mason. He started his own business over 35 years ago and has built hundreds of basements, chimneys and dozens of custom homes. He is a bit of a workaholic. Sure he is getting older now but he is still working really hard on building a new house for my Mom and him.
This shot is down in their new basement that is just about complete. I thought, what a better way to introduce my Dad into the series than to get him where is is most comfortable!
Camera:
Canon 7d
Tamron 17-55(2.8)
1/250@F/2.8
ISO 100
Strobist:
1 - Canon 430EXII, 1/16power, zoomed @105mm, inside Cheetah Qbox 24" softbox, on stand camera left, ~ 2' from subject
*triggered with Meike MK-7*
Objective: (Jeremy speak)
For this shot I had something really specific in mind and this was just about it. I wanted to shoot down one of the basement cinder-block walls towards my Dad. What this does is use the joints in the block work to draw the viewers eyes right into the subject. What also helps is having him lean back against the wall so as your eyes go down the wall they quickly intersect the subject. It adds a great perspective and edgy, hard, work feel to the composition.
For lighting, I used my 24" Cheetah Softbox. I aimed it directly at my Dad and had him look right into it. This is the first time I used this type of pose and lighting direction. I wanted the lighting to be centered right on him and allow it to fall back softly onto the block wall. I feel as though this pose and style of light adds a feeling of 'wonder' or 'curiosity' to the picture. It makes the viewer feel as though my Dad is deep in thought and contemplating maybe what's next.
And I used a shallow depth of field with the lens (2.8) to keep as much out of focus as possible to center the attention on him. I then brought up my shutter speed to 1/250 of a second (the highest sync speed when using flash [without going high speed sync]) so I could drown out as much of the ambient light as possible. This was taken around 8am and the sun is just over the wall above his head so it was shining right towards me. I wanted a darker feel to the picture to give it some punch and contrast.
For post processing I added a bunch of graduated filters (dark) to a few edges and angles for more subject attention and I cranked up the clarity and added a bit of sharpening to my Dad in Photoshop. Thanks Dad!
Going out to dinner with a toddler is definitely an adventure full of unexpected possibilities. This time my older 2 were visiting my mom so we got to venture out with just my son. He learned to blow bubbles in his milk and spent a lot of time flirting with the table behind us.

Slave or Master?
I love my computer. It's amazing. I use it for everything. I'm on it for at least 4 hours a day. I don't know what I would do without it.
And that is the scary part. What would I do without a computer? I don't know. My life would completely change.
------------------
This image took me WAY too long to make. I probably spent 5 hours playing around with it in Photoshop. I used 8 photos to create this image. About half of them have masks and the others are combine using different layer blending options. I definitely learn a thing or two about lighting this week. Any helpful tips would be appreciated.
I started school this week so I hope to have more regular updates. Keep tuned.
