Macro Monday 11/30/09 – Security

Posted for this week’s Macro Monday challenge, the theme was Security. The image is of a digital certificate used by a web site to provide encryption between a browser and the server. I thought it appropriate for this week’s challenge but it is a shot I could have basically screenshotted so I may post something a bit more photographically interesting as well later today.

This was done with a lensbaby composer, no aperture ring which I think makes it f/2.

Camera Model: Canon EOS 40D
Exposure: 0.04 sec (1/25)
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 100 mm
ISO: 100

As I promised more Christmas decorations for my photo a day. This isn’t quite what I had envisioned but it’s ok; especially for a Sunday night when I don’t have a lot of good ideas . Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Details: 580exii 1/64 camera left bare (aimed at background)
Vivitar 285hv 1/16 gelled with 2 full red gells aimed at banister .
Triggered with cybersync.
Lotsa mucking around with photoshop and nik color efex until I get somthing I sorta liked.

Macro Monday 11/23/09 – My Gang

This is an image of My hand, My Wife Dayna’s Hand, My oldest son Jeffrey’s hand and Finally (my youngest son) Trevor’s hand from bottom to top. I shot this for this week’s Macro Monday theme which was "My Gang". The idea is an adaptation of one my mother suggested (thanks Mom).

Shot Spex:
Lighting — 1 580exII 1/2 power into reflective umbrella camera right and high
Processing with Nik Silver Efex Pro and Photoshop

Camera Model: Canon EOS 40D
Exposure: 10 seconds
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 55 mm
ISO: 100

More Nik Silver Efex Goodness with this one. This is an old receiver I recently put back into use for my TV. Still sounds pretty good, though I usually am a bit more conservative with the volume than is depicted here

We had an early thanksgiving with my parents, siblings and their children today. This is a shot of my sister, Shawna, that she agreed to sit for before we left.

Lighting:
580EXII Camera right (I can’t remember the power on this one)
Vivitar 285hv Behind and camera Right that really didn’t do much for the exposure.
Triggered with Cybersync

Edit:
Sharpened Eyes a lot to make them POP in photoshop.
Applied Nik Color Efex Glamour Glow effect.
Nik Viveza to pull down the brightness on the stairs.
