Asheboro Safari

Today the Bio kids went to bustling downtown Asheboro to shoot pictures. The pictures we shot were supposed to be rather abstract and the emphasis was on design, not subject matter. It was a very creative afternoon. Ultimately I submitted my photos in grey scale. Shot with D300 and 18-200 variable aperture lens.

Pharmaceutical Project

This image was shot for Bio object lighting. I attempted to create a mood/atmosphere that would sell (or not sell) the pharm. product. With my image I attempted to convey a certain sense of distaste in the viewer. I desaturated the bright red cloth to emphasize the pills more, and the direction of the spoon should dictate the interaction the viewer has with the picture.Shot with D300 and 105 AF Macro lens.

HDR attempt

This picture is my first attempt at HDR photography. I used a tripod and bracketed seven exposures. I then fed the pictures to Photomatix software which combined the exposures to produce the final image with a high dynamic range. I adjusted the photo further in lightroom. The picture was taken at the schoolhouse in the Cradle of Forestry on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Shot with a tripod, cable release, Nikon D300 and 18-200 lens.

Over the weekend

For my Digital imaging class I am required to submit a self-promotional photo. I decided that I wanted a picture of me outdoors, because this best represents who I am at heart.

I used a Nikon D300 with a 18-200 lens (at about 50mm), pocket wizards, a light stand, and a 285 flash with white paper to diffuse the light. I took the picture around 4:00pm to reduce contrast a little bit.

Waterfalls in Glacier, Montana

These images were taken while hiking at Glacier National Park this past August. I used a D300 with a 17-200 variable aperture lens. I used a neutral density filter to increase the exposure time, and a tripod with cable release.
