A good story!
I got a new phone right after Christmas. I upgraded from my BlackJack II to a new Blackberry. I'm still learning what it does and how to do it. However, I did figure the camera out right away. For a phone camera, it takes pretty good shots, including a flash, which my last cameraphone didn't have. Gremlin wasn't too thrilled with the flash, but I like the shot!
scanned on the scanner's 'bad side' with the line. my third shot with the new 'first flush' impossible project film. this one should have been kept warmer while developing. i wrote about this new film here.

Madeline and Pepito heads on vintage SSC bodies after the tragic and traumatic dog chewing episode. Pepito's hair got mussed up during the operation so he is going to have to have the sock back on his head.

This is Learning Curve, because learning to do ruler work is way bigger than a breadbox!
The first nuthatch I've seen in ages... knew they had nested in the woods but hadn't spied any since. These are from my first trip out with the 70D, focus not quite perfect - think that is me, not the camera! (managed other sharp shots later in the morning of other subjects) but these seem to have a sort of 'watercolour' feel to them that I rather like.

Simply Making Christmas... easier said than done. This year I'm branching out from painting to a faux #gingerbread #putzhouse thanks to @lucyf7b There are big #learningcurves but its fun.
This indulgent project was therapeutic. My first cardboard #putzhouse sculpture made with a house pattern and tree tutorial by @lucyf7b and adapted with many embellishments of my own.
A good friend asked, "Will it be for sale?" The answer is NO for many reasons. Artists constantly undervalue their work. This piece took me many days to create for a #zoom #Christmas #familycelebration
There are many delightful artists and designers out there. I reccomend finding an artist whose story compels you to invest in them. @jillrenaedesigns takes 30-40 hours to hand make all of her houses. That's $3.95/hr for her highest price house on etsy. What do you deserve to be paid per hour?

Exhibit A: Stanley the Engine from Learning Curve, made of wood, a tenner. Exhibit B, Stanley the Engine from Learning Curve, die-cast metal, half the price. Do they look anything alike? No. Rubbish. If I was three I would be incredibly aggravated about this and would refuse to have my nap.

A second run at a file from the archive - this time using CS3.
The first time I used Lightroom in OS-x.
Herer's Anthony aka Antsplan, during a break in the available light test shoot at college. Ksenia also took a few shots.
In Photoshop I've slightly tightened the contrast using curves, did a little colour correction, and slightly lightened the eyes. Then I went wild a added a (slightly toned down) version of the effect used in this pic.
From a test shoot at my Studio Portraiture class. Model here is Megan, one of my classmates nieces. BTW I'm with Anthony on this one- any disrespectful comments will be deleted.
The lighting are all Bowen flashheads, two behind with honeycombs at 45 degree angles for rim lighting on the hair, and one softbox in front. The softbox is set for f8, and the other teo are about 1 and half stops below.
In Photoshop I've slightly tightened the contrast, turned it monochrome, and used colour balance to simulate a dutotone effect.
BTW I've kept the flare from one of the flashes in on this one, as I think it adds an interesting detail to the pic
Lighting Suggestion- One thing to avoid is shooting with two very different temperatures of light. in these shots it's flash and the orange sodium vapor lighting. I shot these images in RAW and played with them slightly in L.R. While the skin looks near lifelike; the orange, blue, pinkish contrast didn't work for me. Now; while It is possible to further tweak in PS5, or use a gel when shooting, I felt that B/W would be acceptable.
If you would like to see angle 1, look at the strangers set.
How about some thoughts?
Thank you,

6 x 30 second image combined with Startrails action in Photoshop. Added one Dark Frame to remove noise. Attempting to combat Amplifier glow and noise with shorter exposures and combining the 6 shots. Unfortunately my DSLR says it is overheating and stops processing images after only 3 minutes. I think I may need a faster Compact Flash card.
