LensBaby Gallery

In today’s world of high mega pixel cameras and super sharp optics there isa lens called the LensBaby. The LensBaby has a sharp sweet spot that can be moved around the image by bending the lens with anything outside the sweet spot becoming very soft and out of focus. I just picked up the latest design called the LensBaby Composer and before all the color was gone spent a couple of days walking around the Village of Athens applying the LensBaby on the last of fall color.

I have placed a Gallery of LensBaby images in my Stock Gallery area, the Gallery can be accessed from link below.

Saint Josephs Church

I conducted a HDR photography workshop and we had access to Saint Josephs Church located in Albany, NY. This church has been vacant since 1990 and it is sad to see this mighty cathedral in it state of decay. Hopefully people realize what a wonderful structure this and pull together to save and restore this church.

The church was cold and dark with only a flood light illuminating the interior, but the HDR imaging reveals the colorful beauty of the churches interior.

I have a image gallery of photographs created during this workshop which can be accessed from link below.

Trip to Vermont

I took Columbus day off and headed out to Southern Vermont to get some Fall Foliage images. The two locations was Jenne Farm (must photographed farm in Vermont) and Sleepy Hollow Farm. I was a little late in getting there and the light was hard so I ended up doing a few HDR imagesas well. The color in the Woodstock VT. area was near peak but not a lot of red yet.

Creative Work

Nikon has not pulled the creative tools that we had during the film days from today's digital camera bodies. During yesterdays outing in the Catskill Mountains I shot a few ten shot multiple exposures of a stand of trees along one of the roads I traveled. These images are all in camera no Photoshop magic.

Fall in Catskill Mountains

I was out in the Catskill Mountains yesterday to see how the fall colors doing. Here a few images I took in the Tannersville and Hunter area of the Catskill Mountains here in Upstate New York.

Made it into 2010 Panoramic Photography Book published by Autopano Pro

For my extreme panoramic images I use AutoPano Pro software to stitch these photographs together. Every year Autopano Pro asks users to submit images to be considered to be published into their yearly panoramic photography book. I submitted three of my images to be considered for this book and they selected my panoramic image of the Old Decaying Farm in Freehold NY.

Autopano Pro had 1392 images submitted from 638 photographers through the world. This year, a jury composed of famous photographers selected 130 images that will be published in the book: Arnaud Frich, Bertrand Bodin and Hervé Sentucq, all three are specialized in panoramic photography.
