Weekly Photo Projects, Week 1

New Year Sunset
New Sunset
Week One is done and in the books. Since both of my projects were using the same theme (New Year) I was expecting to recycle a photo for both. I kind of did, but not in the way I thought I would. For my +Weekly Photo Project 2013 group I used this 7 shot HDR sunset. You can read about why I chose this shot here (I don't like repeating myself). But I really did like how this shot turned out.

2013 Crashing In
So as far as my shot for my black & white group goes, it should look very familiar. Yes, it was used just three days ago here in color. Since this shot was due Friday I've had some time to look at it some more, and though I generally like the black & white version better than the color version, I don't like the grain I put in it. I should have gone with my first instinct and gone for a clean look. To see what else I had to say about it check out my post here.

Forcing a Photo

A decent, but VERY processed shot **Disclaimer: Today's post is kind of long.** I recently decided to try my hand at a competition I saw on Google+, the +10000 PHOTOGRAPHERS 1st Contest - Natural Water Photos  being put on by  +10000 PHOTOGRAPHERS . There's no tangible prize except notoriety on what some think is a ghost town  social network. Shortly after having made the decision to enter this, and deciding I wanted to use a new photo for the competition,  Digital Photography School published this post  about dynamic landscapes by +Todd Sisson . The post itself is a teaser for his newly published book Living Landscapes .  Featured in the article was this image which instantly caught my eye.

Monday, as just about everyone knows, Apple gave a peek at a couple of its updates in the operating systems arena, both mobile and desktop. Most people knew what to expect in the first half, OS X Lion is coming in July. And although I knew what most of the updated stuff was going to be I still found myself wanting to update right then and there. I mean why wouldn't you? It's $30, and I don't have to run down to a store to get it. Actually, I couldn't if I wanted to, but that's another story. But it's the second half of the presentation that was more, interesting, if you're an iOS person.

HDR Waterfalls

Image
It should be no surprise that I took some bracket shots of the waterfalls from the other day. I'm not so happy with the HDR shots as I was with the normal shots, which for me is a little strange, but I think the blame goes on me, I rushed the shots. Note to self, and other photographers, don't go to a shoot with someone who's not a photographer, you'll end up feeling rushed even if they're in the car chatting happily on the phone oblivious to your shooting.
