women in defense

Had the terrific opportunity on Friday to photograph the Women in Defense golf outing over at Cherry Creek. It was hot and humid and we got some rain, too, but everybody was a trooper and a great time was had. I want to thank Women In Defense for the gig and for everything that they do!

Just caught this hawk in my neighborhood park, leaping to soar off a light pole....

single image HDR wackiness

Just playing around with single-image HDR. It's your typical over-the-top HDR and not the better, more subtler way, but I pushed it intentionally, just to see what sort of range with in the actual file.

In LR3, I cranked up the recovery, the fill, the black, and the clarity and Bob's your Uncle. Have to try a real HDR soon with multiple, bracketed exposures.

Vote 4 the Best

Our local NBC affiliate, Channel 4 Detroit, has, on their website, a contest. We've been nominated as one of Detroit's best photographer's. It would be great to win or at least place very highly ("it's an honor just to be nominated", etc.)....

Here's the link if you care to give it a go...

LR 3

LR3 has dropped! Abode Lightroom 3 has dropped! Beta should be good til June 30. If you were a beta user, Adobe is offering a 15% discount (off the $300 price) through June 18. LR3 is, in my humble opinion, a fantastic tool for image organization and initial edits. In most cases you won't need anything more.

CLASS TONIGHT!

Just a reminder that we are offering a beginners photography class through Gilbert Parks and Rec. and the class starts tonight!

Tuesday evenings (6:30p - 8:30p) June 1, 8, and 15.

The late June class has been cancelled.

Catalog of classes (pdf) is here:http://www.egilbertarizona.com/Gilbert_Parks_and_Recreation/page_1717352.html
