Pig Roast
Tonight I went to a pig roast in Gray, ME. SOOOO much fun, and it was at a fantastic place with this barn:
OCF
Tonight I was working on an off camera flash (ocf) project for my Digital Foundations class and I snapped this one of myself in the UML south campus quad.
Green Eye Edit
Editing eyes is actually relatively easy to do. First as you can see I edited out the glares in the pupil and on the edge of the iris. Then I altered the color a bit, burned the outside of the iris and dodged the inside to give depth. Lastly I added a glare spot in the pupil again because without it the pupil looks really dark.
Before and After:
Inspiration for 365's
I recently started up a Flickr group, Inspiration for 365, for those of us few photographers who are actually trying to complete a 365 challenge. Sometimes it’s hard and we don’t have the motivation one day, or maybe we lack creativity the next… I figured if I start up a group and a few of my friends (and anyone else who wants to) join in on the fun, we could be each others...
Water and Light
I’ve always wanted to take high-end stop-action shots like these! I came home from class one day this week and decided to just set it up and see what I could do!
Strobist info:
• Off-camera flash is set up pointed away from the subject at a white bounce card on camera-left.
• Black bounce card to keep light from bouncing back onto the camera-right side of the glass.
Boston, Dinners, and Moving
Today I helped my friend Mary move into a new apartment in Boston. We only had to make 3 trips, and there wasn’t tooooo much stuff, so it wasn’t too bad. In the process I somehow cut my thumb though, I have no idea how. I am rather infatuated with Snoopy, always have been. It’s the only cartoon I really watched as a kid. That said, I always keep a stash of Snoopy and Woodstock...
Summer's Gone
So I’m back at school now; getting used to the whole Graphic Design lifestyle. Sometimes life does seem a bit fuzzy though.
