So, I know it has been a long time since my last post. I’ve been up to several things like moving to a new apartment and hiking the backcountry of Yellowstone National Park. Some of my loyal readers have been begging me to upload my pictures from Yellowstone; so, I finally went through and skimmed a few off the top of the pile to edit and throw up here. Enjoy.
I recently got Adobe Photoshop CS3 for all of my photo editing needs. One of the coolest features of CS3 is the ability to merge several images of the same subject with different exposures into one image to give definition to the highlights and the shadows of an image (called High Dynamic Range). Unfortunately, Photoshop doesn’t give too many options to easily change the compression of highlights and shadows so I bought Photomatix to solve that problem. To test it out I went around Auburn’s campus and snapped photos of various picturesque places at night. Here are the results:
I have finally finished it. After 3 years of wanting to get it done and about a week of hard work, I now have my first photo book in my hands. The subject, as you can see from the cover, is my trip to London back in the summer of 2005. I’ll post some pictures from the book in a later post.
One of my biggest hobbies is photography, so my blog is probably going to end up with a lot of pictures on it. Anyway, when I was driving down the highway toward Tuskegee from Auburn, I saw this really cool abandoned diner on the side of the road. Well, weeks later I finally decided to go down there at sunset with some friends to take pictures of it. I’ve posted my favorites. A couple of them are edited more than just adjusting brightness and colors so I posted the originals as well.
