Cell Phone Video

Here is my first attempt at editing a video on my cell phone. It needs work... but it's ok for my first try. This is how Piper lets me know : she wants in, she's hungry, someone's home, or the mail man is here. :-D

Video Editing on a N95

I just learned how to edit my video clips taken with my N95 phone. Examples to come !

Poster Project

My new assignment for class is to create a poster for an event. It has to be 11x17 and we need to make 3 versions and it had to be made in photoshop. Those were the only rules we had to follow. I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep to my theme of "my photography co" or if I wanted to venture in to something new. Well I decided to lean away from anything I've handed to my professor already and make something new. So I'm creating posters for motorcycle rides.

Here is my first poster attempt.


Here is my 2nd Poster :



Here is my 3rd Poster:

B&W - 02-23-2009

I was at the shop getting some work done on my old Mustang, and I thought this would be a perfect time to grab a quick shot in B&W.

Photoshop fun - Comic book

I thought I would have some fun with some shots of my motorcycle. Here I've used a cartoonized effect. I absolutely love how they came out.

Ear Muff Run

Just a quick picture from today's motorcycle ride. I had to ride over a sheet of snow, yes SNOW to get to this spot at the lake to take a picture... I can officially say I rode a street sport bike off road, on gravel and over snow !


Here is Greenwood Lake.


This is the edge of the lake, 2" thick ice.

Photoshop fun

I found this amazing photoshop action. It's called "B & Big picture". I love it. I bet this would be a fun effect for a group of friends on the beach or at the park..... But for now, here's my FZ6 Motorcycle.

Here is a shot of my friend John, with a twist on perspective.

What's ON My Desk - 02/20/2009

My most favorite summer time drink....

Hand-held portraits n' stuff

Last night I was at a friends house playing cards when it dawned on me that I need to start taking more pictures of people. So I started snapping away. Half in color and half in B&W. Here are a few of the color ones. I'll try to post up the B&W ones soon. The lighting conditions were very low lit, we only had one lamp and one rather large TV in the back ground. I had my camera set to f1.4, auto shutter and I believe "incandescent" white balance, and the ISO was at 200 to avoid as much grain as possible. This, besides the fact that I like them, makes them very blurry, out of focus... if you will...


I love hand-held Portraits of myself. As long as the camera is up high.


I believe someone made me laugh.... either that or the last shot made me laugh at myself :-D


Ahhh Jen, my favorite model.



I played with the color on this one a bit, I believe the original had the wrong white balance set, so it had a blue tint to begin with.


B&W My favorite.

Gaffer on game night

Playing cards, Gaffer was not the best at UNO, but he did help me cheat a bit, by distracting the other players ;-)
