Funny story behind this photo. My gf has a habit of buying flowers for Chinese New Year. But she also thinks the garbage needs to be taken out not on the first day, but the night before; on NYE so to speak. We got home at 1030 (the garbage chute door locks at 1100pm) and she mad rushes to get all the flowers trimmed, cut and organized properly.

Gotta say, not bad for a 30 min job. But the door locked, I had to go down tot he first floor to dump the garbage :p

trying out a new "gadget"

No, it wasn't a rig shot. It was a rolling shot with minimal bkgnd blur to start with. Still learning how to use this; first attempt and after sitting thru youtube tutorials and trying it out for 30 mins....

What is it that you're trying to do here? It almost looks like you've done a zoom blur and some sort of warp transformation, but the lines aren't straight. Link to the youtube tutorials?

LOL, good old VRS. Did you buy it? I have used that software a couple times on a trial basis, I guess I've had licenses for a total of like 4 or 5 months in the past. It's cool, but too buggy and therefore way overpriced. IMO Jan should make it a PS plug in, and slash the price to about $1000. I'd buy it, and I know a lot of other people who can't justify the $3600 price tag would too.

Either way, have fun with it. Looks like you've got plenty of aspects to practice. ;\)

well it's like I was saying to Stephen; still think doing it the old fashion way is the way to go. Not that I have interest in doing car photography lol.

I saw that on facebook Mike, and I like a lot. It has a very natural, casual feel to it. The focus is great and lighting is pretty damned good too IMO.

Thanks, Kyle. I appreciate that. There were over 200 shots, and this one was, by far, my favorite. You're right...he's just chillin', totally comfortable about the whole thing.

Now I just need some nude bitches to shoot in my basement for shits and grins.

Shit Subaru Paint, honestly. Just a shitty, wavy finish in the door reflecting everything. And that was with a polarizer AND some photoshop work to even it out. YOu should see the original \:\(

Hey party people, check out this Image Build blog post I just made for an older photo of mine:

http://natehasslerphoto.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/cr-z_imagebuild_01/

Before:



After:



I didn't dive too deep into the techy side of each individual adjustment, but I think most of it is pretty self explanatory. Agree or disagree?

It was easy for me to follow, but I use CS5 almost daily. Should be understood by most reading your blog, I would think.

I just skimmed your blog nate on how you processed the car, I can understand what you're doing. I just need to know how to do it and take the time to learn the strokes. Anyway, I like seeing the progression from start to finish and I think it looks really nice. I like the sun flare.

Got chased off by a park ranger for this shot. 5 more minutes and I could have managed a better shot of this bull elk with one antler shed. Such is life.

Are you not permitted to get that close to the elk? Speaking of which, passed through Estes Park the other day and thought of you. No elk to be seen anywhere, though.

They want you to stay a couple hundred feet from them from September through March (though really, the rut is over now - the female herd was on the opposite end of the park). When I got busted, I was about 10' from the closest bull - but in my defense, he came towards me, I was just crouched behind a tree watching and shooting. The bull in the pic was about 30' away. People do idiotic things all the time in that park, so I didn't blame the ranger. My wife thought I should have pointed out my experience with the animals, but it seems like a sure-fire way to jinx yourself: as soon as you say "I know what I'm doing, I understand them." they're going to catch you off guard and gore you. Just let the guy do his job and give him a story to tell his buddies about busting another moron today. Light was well and truly gone at that point anyway, that shot is ISO 4000.

The rainbows are throwing me off. How'd you create the shadows? Take a second pic later?


When you say "rainbows" I think you're referring to the color banding in the sky? That's an artifact of the resizing of the image, the final version doesn't have as much of that (thankfully haha) The shot I did for the ground/shadow was actually taken earlier when the sun was still high enough to cast the shadow. It would be totally possible (and pretty much the same result) to just start with that bracket in the first place, and then lay everything else on top of it. 6 in one hand, half dozen in the other.
