Vulcan Panograph

Birmingham, AL

So I went to Vulcan park and saw Vulcan with the sun behind it and thought the sky was silhouette was really cool, so I decided it would make for an interesting subject for a panograph. Tell me what you think.

White Chair

Birmingham, AL

I was working on getting the sun behind my object for my pictures the other day and this is one of the ones that turned out looking pretty good. The only major editing I did was taking out a rather unattractive sun spot and I edited the shadows to bring a little more detail in the chair.

This Little Lion of Mine

Birmingham, AL

I actually didn't realize how much I liked this shot until my sister pointed it out to me. I did minor adjustments in Photoshop to bring out a little more detail in the shadows and cropped it just a touch. Overall, I am very pleased with the result of this picture.

The Roof

Botanical Gardens, Mountain Brook, AL

I was strolling through the Botanical Gardens today and noticed a cool roof outside a zen garden. I thought it was neato so I took some pictures. This was the best one. Tell me what you think.

Avalon Hotel

Vancouver, BC

I was walking down the streets of Vancouver today and saw this hole in the wall Hotel. I fell in love with the run down charm of it and decided to take a picture. I am very pleased with the result.

Faceoff

So in Digital Photography, our assignment was "Make an Object Special". I got a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots game for Christmas this past year and thought I could get some great shots of it. This was one of my favorite pictures of all the ones I took. The only editing I did to this picture was crop it to make the composition a little better. Please comment.

Playing With Shutter Speed

Birmingham, AL

Campbell and I decided to spend tonight playing with my new D40x. It was night, so all the pictures I was taking of people weren't turning out well, so I decided to turn the shutter speed down to around 10s or so. I got some great results. The picture above is one of Downtown Birmingham. For this shot, I set the shutter speed to 10 seconds and put it slightly out of focus. I held the camera in my hand and lowered the camera while the shutter was closed. This was my favorite picture of the night.

Homewood, AL

For the second picture, we went to a street in Homewood where the Christmas decorations were still up. There were a few cars on the road, so it added to the irregular motion. For this photo, I set the shutter speed to 4 seconds and rotated the camera on a tri-pod 90 degrees. The bight white light was a car that was driving toward us, and while driving flashed their brights. I think it added an interesting effect to the photo.
