Lost in Focus

Daily Shots

A little HDR, a little lens blur, a little glamour glow…not a photograph.

Hate it to your hearts content.  I reinterpreted a couple of old images for my next class assignment.  The idea was to create a somewhat multidimensional (not realistic) look using B&W HDR processing.

I didn’t really give a good honest effort on this one.  I guess I was afraid of what I might find out.  As of now, I still blame the camera.  :)

The second image is taken from the car at dusk in my beautiful hometown of Detroit.  Oh, how I wish I felt safe roaming the streets for melancholy scenes.  It would be a bonanza of opportunity for me.

China, 2009

 

 

 

Here’s my set taken with a G9.  I took these snaps a couple of weeks before Lawrence brought this idea of shooting with a P&S.  So the spirit is still pretty much there. 

Using a P&S is becoming really indispensable in my travels.  I’ve shot a fair number of keepers from my G9.  It just really goes where our fancier cams can’t.  It is very well suited for street and I’m thinking that in a few years time, the big boys will have found a real solution to sensor limitations and shutter lag, just a couple of issues that keep P&S’s from attaining some decent status vis-a-vis more advanced or robust systems be it film or digital.

Having said that, i’ve tried printing a couple.  13×19s are not a problem.

These little cams have really gone a long way :)

My own pics in response to a thread I started. These were three from my Panasnic LX3. The two which were by the beach were while I was cycling through discovery park (and realising I need to train more). the third was at a concert. I think I like the last one best. I’m behind on comments - gonna try to catch up tonight.

At a Fun Park called “Walibi”…For me, it seemed neither sad or happy but a very melancholic moment.

What does CCDCP stand for? Crappy Compact Digital Camera Photos, of course.

I had a hell of a time finding a P&S camera but finally did. You know the kind: you press the shutter release and it takes a good 5 seconds after for the photo to be captured - making shaky hands a detriment.

It was NOT easy to get a focused photo and they’re  not as sharp as I’d like. The dying flower photo I actually liked enough to list it for sale on a site I promote my work on..

The work boots in the public garbage can was NOT set up… seriously. Some tourist must have bought himself some fancy-dancy moccasins at one of the tourist traps and thought they were better than what he was wearing.

So I guess I’m the first.. hopefully others join in :)
