I've been meaning to do this for a while now. Time to consolidate many of my pictures into one thread. I'll post a variety of collectible and non-collectible pics in here.

I'll update and add to this thread as often as time allows.

Fist up...some of my most recent shots.

enjoy

hazmatt

Cool man! Way to go with the sig. I'll get my hands on one when the time comes. Right now I have 2 kits lined up for paint, so between paying for the kits and paint I'm tapped out on statue purchases for the time being.

Right now photography is strictly a hobby for me. I bought a domain name back in college (www.mcmphotography.com) but I have yet to build the site. I hope to turn it into a business in the future. 100% self taught thus far but I plan to take some classes to improve my skills.

:laugh:

I hear ya...it's not much $ but it's a start depending on how you look at it. I'm going to start to look for small local gigs and see if I can at least make a few bucks with the camera here and there. Hey, you never know, it could lead to bigger and better things.

Where has your wife been finding these ads? Any suggestions on where to look?

Here are some pictures I took recently at an 80th birthday party. I just got some new after effects programs (Focal Point 1 and Nik Color Efex Pro 3) so I started messing around with Focal Point and it's pretty neat. Easy to use and produces nice results similar to a specialty/selective focus lens such as a lensbaby.

Thanks guys.

Patman, the Sunset pic w/ my Audi is indeed HDR. It was the first HDR I ever created. I like the way it came out but there was a good amount of noise in the image when viewed full size. Probably due to the large black areas and the high ISO used.

The newer pics of my Audi in post #81 are not HDR and more or less straight from the camera. Very minor adjustments in post.

^Very cool. I went a couple years back and it was awesome. It's too bad the traffic is always so terrible. I heard they shut down the parking lots due to volume quite early on Sunday (10-11am). I recently moved to the south shore and I'm very close to Republic Airport, so I get a mini show right from my backyard. To anyone who's never been, it's definitely worth the effort at least once.

What lens do you use for macro?

hazmatt
03-30-2011, 11:50 AM
Thanks!

I use a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 macro. Maybe one day I'll upgrade to the L version with IS.

Photoshop is fun but I do most of my editing in Lightroom. The first shot from CO above is heavily processed but typically I try to keep PP to a minimum. I use Photoshop for final sharpening and adding text/watermark :thumbs2:

hazmatt
08-04-2011, 01:16 AM
i shoot with a canon. the model is listed in most of my flickr pics. all current dslrs are comparable. keep in mind it's not the wand, it's the magician. most of my shots are mildy altered in photoshop or lightroom (curves, contrast, etc.) nothing too crazy. However some shots or effects call for more processing than others. If you are interested in photography the best advice anyone can give is to go shoot as much as possible and learn along the way :)
