Return!

Where has the time gone?

So, a couple months off with a focus on staying sane and job searching and I have a LOT of content to update!
I've had a few paying photography gigs. I've acquired some new gear and, of course, I have several photos to share.
I'll get this all tossed in here soon, likely starting with the new gear - a Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L II USM and a Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 G2. Both are upgrades (oddly enough, the Tamron's replacing a Canon and the Canon's replacing a Tamron). 

The paying gigs are small potatoes, but when you have not had potatoes before, size doesn't matter! They've been super fun and great learning experiences.

It's been a fun week! So, I don't have much of a topic for this post, but I thought "Hey, I should talk about that fun thing I just got." "What's that thing?" I hear you ask. It's a drone. And I promptly had it model for a photoshoot. Yep, I'm just getting to the point where I'd classify myself a step beyond enthusiast with a DSLR and I step into another world that blends cinematography and photography. The thing is so COOL! It's surprisingly tiny for what it can do. I imagined you needed one of those big drones (phantom or larger) to get the good stuff. There are advantages to size (payload and such) but for photos and video, this dude works fine! So smawww next to that controller (Pixel 2 in the controller for scale) Some initial details - you've got to be in the right spot mentally to get started. It's some pretty serious business as these are technically aircraft and the guv'ment does like to regulate t

Woah, what's up!

It's been a while so I thought I'd post some recent shots. These are taken within the last 6 months combining some local metro park pictures along with deep space object images from the Hubble. I think I've upped my game a bit. The biggest challenge has been learning new blending techniques coupled with selection methods. Selecting around trees is a real challenge, like with the second and fourth images. The first was a blend into the actual sky that was simply stylized a bit for color, but it was pretty close to what's shown (it was a beautiful morning). The third was a deletion of the sky while leaving a slightly translucent area around the clouds to make it appear as though the galaxy was behind them and not make it look unrealistic (aside from it being very unrealistic...).
