These images were shot over the span of a 7 days or so as I walked to work. They were shot on my Olympus EM1 using either my 12-40 (24-80) or 40-150 (80-300). I did all but one in monochrome because I felt that it just added texture the images that they otherwise lacked in color; to be honest they don’t have much color. Why is this an exercise in futility? I just could not get myself to edit them to…
This was taken off of Wongnamat Beach in Naklua as the sun was starting to set over the Gulf of Thailand with the city in the distance. You can see Pattaya, Pranumnak, and Jomtein in the distance. I also liked how the water and the rocks played off each other. This was shot with my Olympus EM1 versus the Sony A7R which I use for most of my landscape stuff. Mainly because I am lazy and hate switching lenses and…
It’s funny how you think about some images and can’t find them and you move on. It just so happened this was the case with these images. I asked my friend who was on the trip with me about them and he had no idea where they went so I moved on. I needed to clear space on my phone and backed up all my images to my Google account and suddenly there were the images. These images are 7…
Final one I think from the Edison & Ford Winter Estate. The shoreline was the one thing I found fascinating there from the sheer number of images I took of it. Went with a cinematic crop and then just played with the image to get it where I wanted it. Did a lot of work while in lab color in Photoshop which made color adjustments a bit different but overall liked the effect. I also built lots of layers to…
This is another shot from the Edison & Ford Winter Estates. I happened on this view while discovering everything else was closed and my $20 was spent for naught. The river is the Caloosahatchee and I just like how the shot was framed between the palm trees. Enjoy
Just two quickies I shot while working on something else. Used the Olympus 40-150mm (80-300) and got both these shots before moving on to what I was really shooting. Since what I shot will take a lot more time to edit then these two you get the hopeful signs of spring. Enjoy.
Just a quick edit. Self explanatory.
I have gotten over the worst of my man flu which was really debilitating. So in honor of that I have edited five photos to create something of a cohesive series. I have taken some liberties with the cinematic crop. Some of these are clearly more cinematic than others but you get the general point of what I was shooting for. The other interesting thing was a couple of these were edited in the morning and the others at night….
This could be a reference to the movie with the same name or more importantly; the Iron Maiden song. Take your pick on whatever makes you happier. I will say that this series was like shooting on white seamless. It’s just the sky behind the lights and the light fooling the meter. Interesting effect that isolates the subject. Enjoy.
None of these images has anything to do with this topic. They just happened to be the last images shot with gear I have just sold. Other than that they have no bearing what-so-ever on what I am about to write about. I also got to use enema in a title. Very excited by that. I am fresh home from Ace Photo which is my local camera shop. I had made the decision to give myself a photo gear enema. To…
