Autumn Is Here
This image was inspired by the beautiful motion and vibrant colors of the falling leaves in autumn.
The equipment used to create this image was the Fujifilm X-T1 camera body with the XF16mm f/1.4 lens attached, a tripod, an iPhone attached to the flash hot shoe, and the Triggertrap Mobile Dongle & Connection Cable Kit. After framing up the scene I placed one leaf on a wire, focused on it, and took the photo to be used as my base image. Without moving the camera or changing any of the settings on the camera I set the Triggertrap software to capture motion and started blowing leaves around the camera.
Serenity
When it’s near 100 degrees outside and your house doesn’t have air-conditioning the last thing you want to do is sit around in a “warm” room feeling like your life is being sucked out of you minute by minute. Hanging out in the cool car with music playing and the beautiful Oregon Coast scenery in the background was just what we needed to escape the unbearable heat that the Pacific Northwest has endured for the past couple of weeks. The coast was a bit cooler than we had expected but a very welcomed break from the heat.
Recreating the Quadrophenia Album Cover
A few weeks ago I was hanging out with +Brian Matiash from +onOne Software. At one point we started talking about photo editing, processing, and the software I use to achieve the looks I want during editing. I admitted to Brian that I hadn’t tried onOne's Perfect Effects and after enduring a few minutes of Brian’s friendly harassment, I agreed to give it a test run.
