jpellow > March 11, 2008 Guess what it is... I haven't done a 'guess what it is' before, but I thought this one might be fun. My only hint is that I didn't take it at work and it has nothing to do with theatre--I came across it while I was out for a walk today.
jpellow > May 23, 2008 Movie ticket. I got home after catching a late-night movie and still needed a photo, so I went for the first thing that presented itself. I think the composition is slightly unbalanced because of the dark top right corner, but I rather like the light and the lines.
jpellow > March 19, 2008 Tension blocks. I spent a few minutes with my camera and tripod backstage tonight. Didn't get anything really dramatic, but this shot gave me some good practice for some PS techniques I've been working on. I think it came out pretty well. Seems very industrial to me - I think it looks like machinery in an old factory. Can anyone point me to a tutorial on making sepia images in Photoshop? It seems I don't know quite enough about color adjustment tools to figure it out for myself. UPDATE: Thanks for all the comments and especially to Brian Hart for his PS advice. I've posted a sepia version here. Feel free to tell me what you think!
jpellow > February 6, 2008 Star ornament. I sometimes forget that an object doesn't have to be remarkable in and of itself to be special to us.
jpellow > March 20, 2008 Part 2 Tension Blocks. I didn't shoot any worthy photos today, but I did spend some more time on yesterday's shot in Photoshop, so I decided to post the results in lieu of a DP for today. Thanks to Brian Hart for some suggestions yesterday. I used the duotone method he described to create this sepia version of the black and white I originally posted. As with so many Photoshop techniques, now that I've learned how to do it, I wish I understood so much more about what I'm doing and how it works... but even if it takes a lot of trial and error and experimentation, it's still one more technique in the repertoire.
jpellow > March 9, 2008 Water glasses. I went out with some friends after work yesterday for a burger and a glass of wine. I brought the camera along. I kept playing with the assorted objects on the table looking for interesting shots, but the first one I took ended up being the best.

jpellow > April 23, 2008 Wooded wetland. I took this in the early evening at the edge of a bit of wetland along the D&R Canal. I sat for close to an hour on a fallen tree trunk, watching and listening to the small handful of animals that happened by. It was mostly squirrels and ducks, a few other birds (the most interesting was a woodpecker), and a couple of deer foraging on the drier ground. I might post a couple other shots in another gallery if I get to it - I'll add a note here if I do.
jpellow > February 20, 2008 Lunar eclipse. I was at the theatre for a show last night (watching, not working for once), and I walked out of the building about ten minutes before the moon slipped completely into shadow. I had put my camera and tripod in the car hoping the clouds would clear before the end of the show (they did), so I drove to a dark field and started shooting--only to have my battery die after a dozen pictures! I think sitting in the cold car had done it in. My other battery was at home in the charger, which is actually fortunate since at least it was warm, so I packed up and went to get it. I got back to the field just at the end of the total phase, and stayed for about an hour as the moon came out of our shadow and the dark world around me got lighter and lighter. I finally got cold and impatient with about twenty minutes to go; I'm kicking myself now for not waiting it out and taking a shot of the full moon to complete this series. These photos were taken between 22:16 (during the period of total eclipse) and 23:50 EST. My 75-300mm lens doesn't give me a very big image, and my 6.3 megapixels don't let me enlarge it enough to make a really nice, detailed portrait of the moon, but I'm quite pleased with this series of smaller images. The huge difference in brightness between the lit region and shadowed region makes it hard to capture both in one image. Early on, I was setting my exposure somewhere in between and the brighter region was consistently overexposed. The more I shot, the wider I started bracketing my exposure times, and I got some decent shots of the lit area.
