Photography, Image Processing and the Outdoors.
I went to the Judy Collins concert at the College of Saint Benedict in Saint Paul on Friday. On the way to and from the concert I thought these lights were very interesting and they reminded me of what I imagined the light post in The Chronicles of Narnia on a cold winter night would look like.
Made a few chainmaille star ornaments this evening. This design dates back to 2002 and was created by Dreamseeker and posted to the The Ring Lord’s Forums. The design has very specific requirements and doesn’t take well to changing wire metals, or winding the wire loosely which will result in changing the diameter of the rings. The anodized colored aluminum rings were purchased from The Ring Lord. The bright aluminum rings were cut by hand from the wound spring with a jewelers saw.

This reindeer scene was was an interesting setup with the lighted fence and tree around them. I made this into a high dynamic range image, since I couldn’t get the fence, tree, and grass exposed as I wanted without having the reindeer being blown out. This was taken with 9 differently exposed images and then merged together.
Just setup my first fake Christmas tree. It is pre-lit with white lights. Now I have to get some ornaments on it.
Playing around with purposefully messing up the focus to make the bokeh ultra apparent.
