42: Icicle

 
So, this is an icicle, with lens flare added.  It was already there, but I thought, hey, Photoshop can make it really crazy, so I photoshopped it.

Gorgeous day, cold, but sunny, and lots of icicles!

41: Router

So, We get home after midnight, and I'm going, I need a PAD, and I can't do another breakdancing one because I've posted the two best ones I got... what can I do?

My boyfriend says, take a picture of my new router!! So, this is his new combination plunge/fixed base router. Should be funt o work with... needs a few nice bits, but those will come. Shot very quickly, and yes, I over neat imaged it, but I'm in a rush. Sorry. At least I actually took the picure today!!

40: Breakdance II

Ok, even though the quality isn't that great, I couldn't resist showing another breakdancing picture.  It's faceless, but still, with a slow shutter speed, turned out alright.

First night to just chill and do some work (I can tell you all about ratio analysis in accounting!), have dinner and a glass of fine since the stress of midterms.  This also meant not getting it together to take a picture.  Excuses excuses, I know.  Sorry!

39: Breakdance

Shot for one of my papers tonight. There was a breakdance competition tonight. The things these guys do is amazing. So, I didn't want to bring my whopper 2.8 zoom lens, which is just as well as it would not have been wide enough. However, this needed some major work. Lots of RAW processing, exposure compensation, tint and colour balance adjustments, plus some fill light. Then into PS for some levels, curves and contrast. Then to neat image. I didn't want to use flash because these guys were doing the head spins and stuff, and I didn't want to distract. Someone else used flash though and I did get a cross flash, but the picture itself was crappy. Oh well.

I cloned out two gusy heads in the lower corners, and as you can see, I did a crappy job rebuilding the shadow, but it will do for now.

Got a handful of things, and all I can say is they are not print quaility, but I think they'll work for a print paper. Was a lot of fun to watch these guys!

38: Jump!!

I know.  I'm starting to slack.  I'll have new stuff tomorrow.  I promise!  Today I'd like to comment, and I'd like to get some homework done.

Some light postporcessing.  Did some levels and curves because the stage lights are heavy on the red channels, and a bit of saturation as well.

37: Holy Snow

The title was my boyfriend's suggestion in relation to the cross from the window panes.  Old shot.  To brain dead from midterms, and very pissed off because I missed two or three questions by second guessing my self.  I actually had the right answer marked, and I change them to the wrong answer. ARGH

That being said, I'm on this blue kick.  My off center, and some of my prior posts I've been giving a blue tint, too.  I feel it works well with the snow and winter.

36: Hanging

More ice stuff. Experimenting with tones. Did a desat with channel mixer, then used curves in the blue channel to give it it's hue.

Forgot to Neat image it a bit, but I don't have time to do it and re save and re upload.

Friggin enthalpy and heat of formation. I'll be in a much better mood tomorrow. Hopefully get some commenting done tomorrow night
