On Friday February 19th the jazz duo 2jazzguitars, Barry Glick and Jim Putman, came in for a photo session. We had some fun, a few laughs and made a nice selection of images as they played a few licks and posed for the camera. Post processing done with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop I added the frame with OnOne Software’s Photoframe 4.5. Here is one of the outtakes from the shoot.

Took a break this afternoon and went out for a ride on my motorcycle. As I was riding past Bald Peak State Park (1,629′ elev.) a beautiful view of Mount Hood caught my eye. I pulled into the park, stopped and removed an old Nikon D70s w/18-200mm, that goes with me on rides, from one of my saddle bags. I shot a few frames with a panoramic image in mind. When I back home I use Photoshop CS4 to stitch this pano together and exported through Zoomify.
Images captured data: 150mm, 1/320sec, F/11, iso 200
I got the opportunity to shoot a few images of the Women’s Club Sport Volleyball Tournament last weekend at The Courts in Beaverton, Oregon. I used my Nikon D300, Tamron 70-200mm f2.8 lens and Sandisk digital film. Post processing was done with Lightroom 2, Photoshop CS4 and Nik Software plug-ins. Images got a contrast adjustment, tone adjustment, a bit of film grain and a very slight vignette.

Inspired by Chase Jarvis’s work with his iPhone and his book “The Best Camera” I pulled out my camera phone while waiting for my wife Rene to get done shopping yesterday. The camera phone is a Blackberry Curve and the post processing was done in Lightroom and Photoshop. Here are a few of the images:

Going through some images this evening came across this photo I shot at a talent audition for something called “The Late Night Show” in Portland Oregon. Did few adjustments in Photoshop, used Nik Software’s Color Efex Pro and OnOne Software’s PhotoFrame for some fun effects.

We did some fun family photographs a couple weeks ago with our daughter Jenica and our son’s girlfriend Melanie. I used two Alien Bees flashes in front (main and fill) and a Nikon SB800 for hair light and a second Nikon SB800 to light the background.
