Pixel Darkroom Photography

I shot this barn from the car (while my wife was driving) and I am surprised how well it turned out. The light was just great and after a few small adjustments, here it is. Day 309.

This is a shot of us playing a very fun game at a birthday party. It would take too long to explain the rules, considering that I don’t actually know them very well. Again a new perspective, a bit of post production and here it is.

We are playing soccer more and more. I love it that there are so many places where, with two pairs of shoes as posts, we already have a field and the game is on. We have a few friends that are spontaneous enough that with a couple of phone calls or e-mails we can get out in the evening and play some soccer. For this particular image I believe the kids did not even have posts, it was mostly running with the ball. The game happened later until it got so dark we could hardly see the ball. Day 273.

We’re playing baseball more and more. Here’s a photograph from a long time ago,… oh about 4 long hours ago. It was quite interesting to create the 1930s look for this image. It didn’t take long and I definitely think it looks great on sports photography. I shot this with my old rebel and a stock lens and the post production in all done in Lightroom 2. Here’s a great Day 256 to you too.

The sweetest thing happened today as we were driving through northern Washington. It was a beautiful day and we were enjoying a mid day drive when all of a sudden, a squeaky voice came from the back seat, as we went passed this field. “Mommy, are those marsh-mellows?” We had to stop and make it the image of the day. Since I only had a 50 mm prime lens I shot a whole bunch and merged them into a panorama in post production (probably my 3rd or so time using Ps in this project). You can see I tweaked with a whole bunch more, and not just with the panorama. The image is huge, considering 21 MP for each shot (this is made of 13 or so) but my exporting it for the web made it much smaller. Here is another blessed day 207.
