New Techniques, new Shots...

Not bad... but no sky near the sun...

Not bad either... but dark foreground...

Nice sky but no foreground...

Now this is something different all together...  Push/Pull process and composite imaging all in one?  For Digital?  Who woulda thought...  Still tho...  Acufine and Tri-X can't be beat but this is promising indeed.  Too bad it takes so many exposures to build an image like this and stuff like clouds and grass will MOVE if you take too long but not a bad first try...  (NOTE:  I'm using my desk computer at work so the image might still be just a little whacked).

More shots of my friend's Matrix (I ride in that car so much...)

Dash shot...

Dash shot later that night on Golf between Old Orchard and Waukegan, doing +40mph...  That'd make a sweet poster... 
 

My week, and what a week it was!

FYI: This stuff is straight off my camera (although shrunk down to size).

The Zoo...  Last weekend...  It was hot.  Ask the Bear...



So I got to dog sit this entire week (more or less...)  I kinda want a dog now :P

Is it just me or does Bai Shone look like a cartoon character in this pic? 






Fields of Dandelions and Power Cables...  Mmmm...

O'hare arrivals with my big wide angle... 

Becky's party!  Pics of Jaden (I have too many so I just picked a few)!
The first two are detail shots by Viv...  Very nice ;)






Drive in Theatre!  It was...  An interesting experience...  That and the movie burned out right at the last fight scene!  BOOOOOOO!!!!!  But Spidey was cool ;) 


Viv and Pat chillin on top of my car while the rest are playing Class Struggle in the Box.

The end...  Oh, I also bought a 430EX Speedlite and a ST-E2 Wireless Transmitter...  Coupled with some bounce cards and my 420EX Speedlite, I have an impromptu Studio ;)

BOO Xanga Image Quality!!!! :(

It seems that uploading your photographs to Xanga, Xanga will automatically try to downsize your files by lowering the quality.  No wonder these images look so bad compared to the photobucket ones I have. 

The Weekend: Fish Fry, Happy Birthday Juliet, and PJ LUV
