Last year while I was in school, a couple of my classmates and I went up to Jordan River for a photo day. This weeks Tasty Tuesday picture is from that trip.
After this trip I was inspired to go out and photograph other logging camps, working or not, around Vancouver Island. I haven’t made this trip yet, however, when I do I will be sure to make it a wonderful experience. The goal is to document the whole trip and get it down on paper in the form of a book.

Missing Pictures: Why A Workflow is Necessary
I’m not sure why but for whatever reason the pictures that I took of the production of my 4×5 Pinhole camera didn’t go through my usual workflow. They are now missing. This is why a workflow is 100% absolutely necessary! Personally, my workflow is typed out, printed off, and I have a bunch of copies so that every time I have a shoot, they are next to me so I don’t miss a step. I also have it posted on my wall next to my monitor.
This is going to be a fairly long post by the sounds of it.

Project: 4×5 Pinhole Camera
Complete! Almost. I just have to finish off the varnish on it. It’s done as far as sealing it up from light, functionality of the shutter, and the tripod mount. The first shot is pictured above. Shot at 40 seconds at f/216. A little under exposed as the shutter speed was a calculated guess. According to Mr. Pinhole dot com, the ‘actual shutter speed’ should be around 48 seconds. Nothing a curves layer can’t fix.
In my next post I’ll be putting up some production pictures as well as a shot of the final image (next post because I misplaced the production pictures somewhere on my computer). I’m going to try and do some night shots with it and some portraits. I’m also trying to figure out a good way of shooting strobes with it too. I might blind my subjects before I get them exposed, but it’s probably worth it.

Bloopers and Outtakes – Playing with Video
Purely just bloopers and outtakes. This video was completely shot with my Nikon D3. I blasted away at 8fps and then threw it together for motion. The song you hear is Epic from local band and bro’s, On Call Heroes. They’re about to go record their second album, so go check them out. I hope to do more stuff like this in the future. It’s a really cool way of shooting video in my opinion.
Thanks to my friends for being the subjects, yet again, in one of my little projects. It would’ve been really boring without people in the video. Also, thanks to the band for the music. Again, really boring without it.

Halloween: Zombies, Gangters and Rorschach
Happy Halloween Everyone! Here are a couple of images from an early Halloween party that I attended. All of the pictures here were shot, amazingly enough, with available light. Editing was done in Lightroom 3 beta and Adobe Photoshop CS3. Be safe this weekend.

Lightroom 3 Public Beta – Thoughts So Far
When a software company releases a new version of a program that is used by professionals and amateurs alike, it doesn’t always make it to a public beta test. This is not the case with Adobe’s Lightroom series. Every edition of Lightroom (Lr) is put through a public beta test. That is to say that if you have an email address, you can test this beta, provide feedback and test run the new version. Continue reading →
