True. Just have to figure a location... I think I'll just drive into the mainland a ways and see what turns up

Don't want to give the name, because there's bound to be some haters somewhere, but I have a career-defining job starting tomorrow.

It's two weeks shooting the product lines for four of the biggest fashion designers in the world. Two of them compete directly alongside Armani, Gucci, etc and are just as well known, the other one is not so well known, and the last one if probably the most famous clothing company in Britain.

No boasting here, I'm terrified and as nervous as a child, but I also can't wait.

I found this website called psykopaint which lets you add some nice hand-drawn painter-style effects to your photos. It only really works for the more expressionist style photos, but you can get some good results. I then brought them back into photoshop for further editing. Here is how I treated the photography on my new record:

Kinda wish I knew about this sooner, as it's much easier than hand-painting or using photoshop brushes to achieve similar effects.

Finally had a nice evening that wasn't raining. I'm loving having a full frame body for landscape shots.

I like the blue and white in that picture, very fluid :)



some more moon pictures from tonight, had to do a lot of vignetting effects on the super close ones to cover the fuzzy edges. kind of gives a dramatic effect too

2x adapter
Image

9mm eyepiece
Image

Image

Image

prime focus
Image

On my Dell monitor, the black is black. On the viewsonic, there is a shit ton of noise on the same pictures. which ones are you guys seeing?

Tonight was interesting too. Turns out that if the camera shoots in regular mode, it shakes the entire rig just enough to blur the image, but shooting in live view, it does not do this. Also, I smashed the life out of my thumb on the rig due to klutziness and mf'er it hurts.
The eyepiece adapter came in the mail too, but the threads don't match to the telescope... probably have to find an adapter or something, but that will let me use other eyepieces and if I get a new 2x adapter, I could put the high magnification 9mm piece in with the 2x and get monster magnification (and will have to run a monster ISO). it would make some super up close detailing, but would be real hard to focus and shoot with but if it all ever gets hooked up, i'll give it a try.

Looks black to me. Nice shots.. kind of insane how close you are getting with some (somewhat?) run of the mill equipment. Would be nice to see if you could get that 9mm and the 2x going together. :up:

She is definitely on david blaine's speedial!

thx for comments on the moon pictures, there's still more to come... getting better at it each time, mainly better with the focusing. Tonight was really really clear and i think the focus was right on target, they will get posted tomorrow probably since it's kind of late right now. Also, I found the adapter that is required to hook up the tele-extender and that should be here by the end of the week, so the 25mm eyepiece will get to be used. If it works like I expect it to, I'll probably order a couple more eyepieces for the next phase! yay :) i actually get pretty excited taking the pictures, it's pretty fun

This isn't a spectacular image, but I thought it would make a great texture for a game. It's just a shop floor that looks like it's been painted a few times and worn down...

how do you keep it so steady? do you weight down your setup?

it's just the telescope strapped to the mount, and i use a remote shutter. There isn't really anything to move the setup except me, which happens when i lose my balance like an idiot lol

from last night:

lvlshot for yas


top part, these are with the 2x
Image

middle
Image

bottom
Image

I thought this part in the middle looked like the Cobra logo from gi joe
Image

a mountain range i guess
Image

seremtan i guess it does look like a flyby, didn't see it until you mentioned that. this one came out in better focus. lvlshot'd


Is this the real man in the moon???? .. the shadowy figure.. :)
Image


I'm trying to get the shadowy edges mostly, eventually i want to merge all the shadow parts to make a composite shadow moon. going to be tough though, especially with no pictures from tonight because of clouds (and tiredness)

from the track visit on the 9th

Image

yes this is what you think it is
Image

Image

if there wasn't other people in this one it would be my favorite
Image

about 6 of these were there
Image

yep... almost a quarter million bux
Image

Image

the night images are difficult to get especially without a flash (which i don't know how to use, or own anyways. for now... will be getting one soon). have to crank the iso and really lay the noise correction on thick in lightroom which kind of smudges things but they still come out kind of decent i think.

the rest are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/andyman82/ ... 937915276/

I went to the June Night Drag Races at Dumont Dunes (Mojave Desert, California). There was just enough wind to fuck up your shots, even with a tripod.

Some of the more interesting ones:

Image
(This place is miles and miles of dunes btw)

Image
(We arrived just past peak lighting, will have to come back soon during the day)

Image
(Someone brought a big spot light for the event. If only there were 2 of them....)

Image
(A few guys were racing without lights. I drove around myself and had a hard time telling where the dune ends. Ballsy....)

Image
(Moon lighting!)

Today is a good day for getting stuff in the mail, the 580ex2 i ordered got here today, as well as the last piece of the puzzle needed to use the tele-extender on the telescope. Time to learn how to use this flash really well :)

here are some zoom examples:
70mm lens
Image

telescope, prime focus with the extender looking at the very top (furthest away) roof
Image

25mm eyepiece, non extended
Image

25mm, extended
Image

and this is with the 9mm piece but i cant remember if it was extended or not
Image

so some big time magnification coming up, it is going to be stupid hard to focus lol

first shot with flash, yay.. bounced it off the cieling
