The Solitary Seed

Hi All!
I was going to rip the Mariners a new one in my blog today. But since they won, I can put it off to another day as long as they continue to hit!

Well the weather here on the West Side stayed nice so I was able to do some yard work. Afterwards, I went back out and did some macro shots. I'm really happy with what came out. Tonight's photo is of a last seed left on a dandelion. Hope you like it!

Hi All!
Hope everyone's day went well.
Although I'm inconsistent with my Photography tips, I welcome any of you reading this to give me suggestions or questions on certain techniques you would like to know more about. You may even catch me off guard and I might learn something too.

Well Photobucket isn't working tonight, so here is my back up picture. Hope you like it!

Yesterday

Hi All!
Sorry I missed last night. I was just too tired to think of anything good.

Today's photo is a reverse macro. I plan on going more into macro coming up this week, since Spring is the perfect time for it. Hope you like it!

Keys

Hi All!
Had a fun day going through stuff and found some awesome old keys. I'm sure Stephanie will have fun with them as she loves antique keys.

Continuing with HDR photography, when processing, having a good post-processing program is key. I've tried several programs, a free program, Photoshop and Photomatix. Photomatix was by far the best program that I used, and I fully recommend it.

My other piece of advise is when post-processing your HDR, don't feel that you have to make it look like how someone else thinks it should look like. Some think that HDR's should resemble exactly how the scene looked like in person, while others enjoy a more 'artistic' look. So enjoy the process, and you will enjoy the outcome!

Tonight's photo is not of an HDR, but of a macro shot that I took yesterday. Hope you like it!

And then there was one

Hi All!
A little stressed about my final tomorrow. But overall I think I'll be fine. Ultimately I'm just happy to nearly have another quarter done and over with.

Here is an example of a reverse macro technique. I will go into more detail on this technique at a later date. Hope you like it!

Long Day

Just got back from a day trip with my Dad. I was able to get some cool shots in, I'll try and get around to processing them tomorrow as well as getting some more photography tips up!

Tonight's photo is a cool profile of my cat. Hope you like it!
