[macro] repetition in low vibrancy and high saturation

I decided to take a few pictures outside the front of my house this morning. I have also decided that I love low vibrancy and high saturation.

[model] shoot with [raz] teaser edit

2009-08-02T23:31:00.002-04:00

The shoot with Rachael Alexandra Zlotow went pretty well today. My camera battery doesn't last as long as I'd like it to... I should get a spare. Got through about 385 shots before it died though. Many had fill-in flash and optical picture stabilization turned on, which eats battery.
As for the shoot, we drove to Horton Bay and tried to get into a lavender field with not much success. we found a little field to shoot in though. Here's a teaser edit I cooked up while she was looking over my shoulder on my computer:

[preview] first shoot with rachael alexandra zlotow [raz]

In a few days I'll be starting a series of shoots with Rachael Alexandra Zlotow [RAZ], whom I graduated Highschool with. We're both extremely excited, but she's also got a few of her own passions, one of which is fasion design. I'm dropping you guys a little preview of her and also one of her illustrations, which I personally think is wonderfully done.

Dennis Bohman, whom I met on Twitter (follow me on the right) shared his blog with me (Hamtoast.com). A couple posts back I noticed a REALLY close macro shot of a ladybug. Apparently, you can reverse your lens and get an extreme macro.

bamboo pen tablet tests

During spring semester at Lawrence Tech University, I purchased a Wacom Bamboo tablet for around 50$. Best. Investment. Ever.
Here are some tests in photoshop and some of my final renderings for my spring semester design studio project.

North Manitou Island backpacking trip! 4 days roughing it, messed up my back, borrowed a 10mp point and shoot, did pretty well. I'll upload more from the trip later on.

new camera

I ordered a new camera yesterday, after hours and hours of researching. I settled on the Samsung NV7 OPS. My cousin bought one, and I borrowed it to try it out. It's only 7.2MP, but it has all the features I want. I took a few pictures with the borrowed camera, such as this one, of a 5 yen coin that I found at my high school. I have no idea how the coin ended up there!

Anyways, I should have my new camera by the middle of this week.

More test photos to come.

Hopefully the purchase of this camera will catalyze my venture into photography.

This blog will also feature my designs as an architectural design student (Lawrence Technological University, 3rd year) and my explorations as graphic designer. Thank you for reading!
