Day 65 - More Michelle

And here is the back of the Workshop tee... and Michelle too.

Through a Cracked Lens


Day 64 - Workshop T-Shirt

This is the front of her second tee based on the photo "Workshop." The model for this is the always beautiful Michelle. She also has a blog on the net (linked from this very page) but I won't tell you which one as she does not post under her own name and I don't want to be the one to out her.

Day 63 - Stupid Girl T-Shirt and more of the Douce!

And the back of the first tee which is based on the photo "Stupid Girl"

Day 62 - Cracked Lens Tees

My wife has a small company called "Through a Cracked Lens Photography" for which I am the photographer. She specializes in horror photography with a creepy, often (but not always) subtle spin. Last night I did a very quick photo session with a couple of models to show off her new t-shirts. This one shows the front of her first tee and the model is known as the Douce!

PS - All of the t-shirt shots had some minor processing done in photoshop including adjustments to the exposure, white balance, cropping and other junk like that.

Last one... well, for today.

OK, that's it for now with the HDR. It is pretty fun to do though so I expect you will likely see more of them.

Motorcycle

More HDR... I have to figure out something to do about the people in the background on some of these shots... stupid people messing with my hullabaloo.

G


Burned

When I saw this burned up building I knew I wanted to try applying an HDR effect to it. I think it came out really cool especially the bricks and the sky itself.

G


Yep more HDR

More playing around with HDR. What can I say I like the way HDR looks... although I know mine need more work.

G


Another attempt at HDR

Again, just playing around with HDR effects in Photoshop. This is a fire escape on the side of an old hotel in Kitchener Ontario. I watched this fire escape for 2 days hoping to get a shot of it with people sitting on it watching the Blues Festival but once I discovered that the hotel was shut down I figured it was a hopeless cause and shot it anyway.

Day 61





You have no idea how much we miss you.

Bonus

Was playing around with HDR techniques in photoshop. I always like the way these look.

Day 59

Another cool sign. I love the name of this pub.

Day 58

This shot is of John Mayall's drummer, unfortunately I do not know his name.

Day 57




John Mayall was one of my Dad's favorites when it come to the blues... and possibly music in general. So I was quite happy to have the chance to see him play live at the Kitchener Blues Festival with my Mom last weekend. My Dad was really looking forward to seeing John play as he had never seen him live before, unfortunately as those of you who are friends know it was not to be. It meant a lot for me to be there in his place with my Mom. Thanks go out to my Aunts and Uncles who also made the trip.

Day 56 You know you wanted more!!!

I love the fact that this shot looks like I was hiding in the trees trying to sneak a shot. The truth is I really wasn't... well maybe a little. ;) But you are all thanking me for it.

Day 55



I just liked the scene... no real comments or stories here. Well there probably are but I don't know them.


G

Day 54

Just saw a cool tree at an interesting angle and took a picture. Doing it again I would change it up and frame it a little differently.

G

Day 53

Sometimes you just have to take a picture of a dude in his underwear bathing in the lake. Seriously... I couldn't not.

G

Day 52

I love this picture... wish it was a little lighter. I have nothing else to say.

Big Cat Rule... guess I did.
