Photography

Just photo-blogging nonsense.

Have a Smile!

Smiley!!!

This little man thinks you’re very funny. You must be pulling an incredibly strange face to get this response from Austin! Yes, this is Austin at about eight weeks old, smiling his way through life, and giggling his way through sleep. :)

Well. I’m a happy bunny. After having a thoroughly busy day at work, I was cheered up in the last five minutes when I received a request for re-use of one of my Flickr Photographs. Namely, the “Foot of the Great Pyramid.”

The request was from The World and I Online, “… an interdisciplinary resource that encompasses a broad range of articles by scholars and experts in their fields. [...] Over 500,000 students and teachers across America and abroad enjoy the top-quality materials that WorldandISchool.com provides.”

I have agreed, with terms very similar to the original Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License v2.0. I just thought I’d share that with you all :)

I took a bit of time out today to experiment with a fake tilt shift technique in the GIMP. I took one of the city-scape photographs of New York (from our January trip), and applied the effect.

I think they’ve come out quite well, like a aeriel photograph of a large scale model. The first uses a Gaussian blur, whilst the second uses a Focal blur, each has their own unique atmosphere.

On another note, I saw a movie today of a guy rapping, called Monzy he’s kind of in a genre called Nerdcore. Also check out Futuristic Sex Robotz :D

This is my first High Dynamic Range (HDR) photograph. It was created
using three photographs of varying exposures (EV1) using an Olympus
E-500. The photographs were then turned into a HDR image and Tone
Mapped entirely using Free and Open Source Software.

The subject/composition isn’t very imaginative, as I don’t yet own a tripod, so it’s what the nearest table was looking at :D

I intend to invest in a tripod in a week’s time, so expect many more HDR images as I play and experiment with this medium.

Nature’s Special Effects

I’m just trying out something with my Flickr account, namely the ‘Blog This’ button. Whenever I find a photograph in Flickr that warrants a blog entry. I just tap that button, and type some text, and *whoosh*

I chose this particular photo to test with because it’s an excellent composition with some searing light effect. Enjoy!
