Above: Random spring picture from last year. I need to take more this year!
Ever wonder how someone could be a comedian, contemplate theology, and end up a passionate photographer. David duChemin has his story.
I ran across some cool inexpensive lighting equipment today. After watching a NAPP video via Kelby’s blog, I went to photobasics.net. This is a set of inexpensive gear aimed at non professionals. There is some neat looking stuff here.
Added a new book to my wish list at Amazon. David Ziser’s book Captured by the Light: The Essential Guide to Creating Extraordinary Wedding Photography. I am not a wedding photographer, but I bet anyone that wants to create great portraits could benefit from this book.
I don’t get to Moose Peterson’s blog every day, but when I do, I usually read through a bunch of older posts. Here is one from a couple of days ago where he talks about the Nik Color Effects filter plugin. Very neat. The particular filter: tonal contrast. Unfortunately it is only available in the $299 Complete version. (see filter list here)
this is really so pretty…….and i love how delicate it is. Is the green really that truely bright green back there or did you do anything? Is that the power of the BOKEH?
I usually boost the saturation of my flower pictures, so I probably did a little bit. I don’t like to make thing not look real though. I was surprised when I took the picture though. It is grass, with bokeh doing it’s magic.
