iPhoto-Walk

April 4, 2010 by Justin 5 Comments

If you missed it, I tweeted (yep, you can follow me on twitter) images from the evening photo-walk as I shot and processed them on location from my iPhone. I had so much fun I might leave my D300 at home next time. That might be a bit of an exaggeration, the high ISO capabilities of the iPhone are a bit limited. However, all these images were captured, edited, and shared as I made them. The app I was using to do this is one developed in tandem with Chase Jarvis and is appropriately titled, ‘The Best Camera (is the one you have with you)’. If you have an iPhone, and would like to give it a run, you can buy it by clicking the link below. I am pretty sure it is the best $2.99 you will ever spend on photo gear!

Running

January 4, 2010 by Justin Leave a Comment

The Story: This image is from the local open space where I love to trail run. This summer they offered a race series along the very trails that I train on. Normally I enjoy my runs as I take in my surroundings. However, durning the race the trees were a blur.

The Process: Capture –> Adobe Raw Converter –> Nik Color FX (Ink) –> Photoshop (contrast/saturation boost) –> Flickr

Tip: If your surroundings are dull and lifeless, breathe some life into them! I made this image by setting my shutter speed to .8 of a sec and panned the camera up as I turned the shutter over.

Seasonal Affective Disorder

Seasonal Affective Disorder, originally uploaded by LightAsMagic.

This image was made on one of my evening strolls while visiting Cozumel last winter.

Wake up early, go diving, eat lunch, nap, workout, take a photo walk at sunset, a margarita with dinner, then do it again the next day. No better cure for ‘Seasonal Affective Disorder’.

We are headed back soon so check back. Hopefully I will return with beautiful images of the town we so dearly love. I am looking forward to sharing them with you all!

Moons Over My Hammy

Moons Over My Hammy, originally uploaded by LightAsMagic.

Before I ever paid any attention to nutrition my favorite meal at Denny’s was the famous ‘Moons Over My Hammy’. I’m surprised I wasn’t struck down by a heart attack at the age of 16. I am much healthier now.

This image was discovered on our way up Independence pass. With an hour or for an adventure we decided to a take a leisurely drive up the Leadville side of the pass to explore the Twin Lakes area. A long stretch of straight road gave me a direct view of the setting moon.

This image was a handheld capture using my trusty Nikon D300 and Nikon 70-300 VR II lens. It was cropped a bit in photoshop, but not too much.

Another reason to have your camera close by!

Barracuda

I have learned many lessons while diving, but one of the more important lessons I have learned is to never pack your camera up while on your safety stop. You just never know what will swim by. I snapped this image just of the shore of Cozumel at about 12ft while on my 5min decompression stop. You will find barracuda either in small groups or swimming alone as they patrol the waters for prey.
