After I went in the waterfall for my 365 shot, the girls all promised that they’d go in there to let me take a picture of them together. They slowly managed to get about half way there before Jess bailed out completely and came back and Steph and Amaya decided it was too cold. So they decided to get pics under "the little waterfall" as they called it, or as I would call it, water dribbling over the side of the rock. But whatever, it was hella cute.

Day 338 of 365 days. Today was pretty bittersweet. I actually had a great day. Steph and I drove out to West Virginia to visit Amaya. She and her roommate took us up into the mountains to hang out at a waterfall. It wasn’t really a photoshoot. More of a picnic. We took beer and…
This was my initial idea for a 365 shot. Because, hey, how often do you get to frolic under a waterfall with 3 pretty girls in bikinis. But I ended up really liking the solitary nature of a shot by myself, so I’m using that instead.
Anyway, here’s what I did today. Jealous?
Day 268 of 365 days. Argggh…. I just noticed I’ve been numbering all of my days incorrectly since Day 247. So my “only 100 days left” post was wrong. I have even fewer than I thought. *sigh* now I have to go through and retag everything. Steph was nice enough to accompany me to Middleofnowhere,…
For Class with Dave. Assignment: Landscape
Three men fishing on the dock over the Mononghelia River in Pittsburgh.
An alternate shot of my day 215, 365 shot. I’m still not convinced I chose the right one.
Day 215 of 365 days. Found out today that I didn’t get one of the jobs I was up for. I don’t know that I’m super-bummed out about it. It wasn’t the greatest job ever or anything like that, in fact if I were offered everything I have applied for lately, that would not have…
Taken for the Class with Dave group. The assignment was to take a picture of some sort of architecture in black and white and to share the photoshop settings for the translation with the group. This shot was immediately what sprang to mind when I read the assignment. Its a steel plant on the way to one of the cities I wrestle in. I took the shot on the way home so that it would be darker and the lights would be on. I used a fairly long exposure and a higher ISO to get a lot of exposure detail.
In photoshop I used a channel mixer adjustment layer to set it to black and white with the following settings:
Red: +20%, Green: +35%, Blue: +75%
Then I added a levels adjustment layer with these settings:
input Black: 15, input Mid: 1.0, input White: 240
output Black: 0, output White: 255
