Glass to the stache- 4/1/11

     Since I have a little more photos than usual this week I am not going to talk as much and just let the photos speak for themselves.  These photos obviously weren't all taken in the same place.  I just want to send a warning out to people just to give a fair heads up.  Someone is goin around.. he is climbin in your windows, snatchin your people up, so you betta hide your kids hide your wife and hide your husbands too cause he's taken photos of everyone all up in here.  Anyways, just make sure you keep an eye out for that soniva B word. 

     The first 4 photos were from the inside of my brothers place in tahoe.  It was dumping outside and the avalanche danger was really to high to ride so we had to find things to do to pass the time.  I quickly noticed this wine cup and was curious how pictures would turn out if I take pictures through it.  To bad there wasn't any special juices in that cup.  My photos would of probably turned out a little better after I drained that juice.  I was thinking the edges of the glass cup would possibly make the photo turn out like a tilt shift lens picture would.  I really like how the upper middle part of the photos is blown out.  It puts more focus on the lower part of the glass cup and the trees to the left. 





One day when we were driving through different roads at Alpine (looking for something to snowboard on) we came upon this animal eating something right by the woods.  We weren't totally sure if this was a wolf or a dog.  So I carefully got out and snapped a few quick photos of him.  Once he came out of the hole though, we saw his dog tags and were slightly relieved.  I think it would of been cooler if it was a wolf though.  The picture below is the same story.. it's just when he was emerging from his hole. 

This photo and the one below was on the road in the middle of nowhere on my way home from Targhee.  I really like how these pictures laid out and how there is so many windmills in the picture frame.  For editing, I desaturated the photo all the way and bumped the contrast and thats about it. 
The editing part of this photo was very similar to the one above.  I bumped the contrast and turned down the vibrance quite a bit. Once the vibrance was down I bumped the saturation up a little to make the sky a little more blue.

This was a picture of a sunset and this picture was taken out the back window of my dads car.   I used part of the left side of the car to get a natural darkened left corner. And once I bumped the contrast up on this picture, that lower turned black almost making a natural vignett.  I also like how the road/hill/street signs all turned really dark black like a silhouette.   
There was a crash on the highway and I got to snap a shot in a quick second. 
BEER..
Ok so this photo and the photo below are the same picture.  I just wanted to see how one turned out being desaturated.   I really like how all these trees lined up on this little hill.  In a perfect world, I would of shot this photo at a little faster shutter speed.   It still turned out great though and I really like it. 

I like how this line formed from these telephone pole wires.. starting from the left side of the picture moving to the middle.  On the right side of the photo, right above the hill, I did some clone stamping to get rid of some distracting tiny little windmills in the distance.  Without them it just cleaned up the picture and make it less distracting. 

For the last couple months I have been looking at this girls work.. and even though these photos might not totally represent her work, It still is a motivator to one day try and shoot some stuff like her. She is really young also and she kills it.

  1. It looks like he had a lot of fun doing these pictures. These are amazing photos. I like the photos with the cup and how the window in the background is in focus.

  2. These pictures are sweet. I like the one with the glass out of focus with the wire thing in focus. At first I thought that the glass was a rain drop of water and it was just really macro. The picture with the cop cars is also cool. I like how it is raw.
