Pixel Darkroom Photography

Today I decided to change the post titles. It was getting way to long to keep typing away those letters when I could just type in 3 numbers.

Here we had the chance to go to White Rock, BC. What you see in the distance is a peninsula of which the south side (left side in the photograph – I am facing West, obviously to those of you who know which way the Earth is turning) belongs to the USA. Look it up on the map. It’s weird. You can only access that part of the USA via water or on land only from Canada. Amazing place. I wonder how it is to have to cross the border on a daily basis, or get the boat out daily to go to your own country.

I shot a few more pictures there which I will add them to other sections of the website. Here goes Day 140 – White Rock, BC.

I like cross lighting things. I like coloring things. And I am so afraid of this sprinkler in my house. Imagine that if this thing breaks open, my TV will get wet and break, and I will no longer be able to play Pac Man.
I dare not even touch it, that’s why it’s so dusty. Never mind…

Strobist info: 580 EX (II) x3 CR with blue gel, CL with blue green gel, and below camera with coroplast snoot and red gel, flagged by my hand, via PW. Setup shot here.

Getting out of the house. Today I felt like going out and shooting some boats, some water, something else. So below is what I came up with. Today is also when I felt like doing a little Photoshop work (nothing major) so the photograph below has seen some more postproduction than what we usually do. Actually far more than what we usually do here at PixelDarkroom, considering that we hardly do any Ps work on the 365 project. Not that we are purists,… it’s just that the 365 is so taxing, that relying on extensive post production work on images would make it more cumbersome. Don’t look below for setup shot or strobist info, there isn’t any. Also, if you are wondering, the post done in Ps was only some unsharp mask, some levels and curves. Lr for a few dust spots in the water and the usual watermark. Enjoy.

No strobist info… just the big fireball in the sky, hidden by some clouds. I don’t even remember the settings of the camera and don’t even feel like looking back to find them for you. What I can tell you is that it was shot on manual mode, approximately 1/3 of a stop underexposed. Go try it, it will make the colors richer.
