villaverde, justin

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Kevin and Peter,
I've never been a real fan of watermarks. However, I have noticed a lot of hotlinking on my web site's statistics and recently I did find an image of mine turned into a banner on a commercial web site even after I explained that I would not allow commercial web sites to use my images without licensing them. So maybe it's time I should get more serious about watermarking. Do you have any suggestions on Photoshop actions?

Thanks,
Justin

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Ben,
This image was made from 12 vertical frames at 105mm.

This is another panorama from a recent trip to Seattle. I found this

spot 7 or 8 years ago and this is my first time back since then. Let

me know what you think.

 

Thanks, Justin

It has been a while since I've been back to Seattle. Now that I'm

back in the NW, I'm sure visits will be more common. This shot was

taken on a well known bridge in north Beacon Hill. I had to contend

with traffic that shook the bridge, but I'm happy with the result.

What do you think and what can I improve?

 

Please view large. Thanks, Justin

I've been to the National Zoo a few times, but this was the first

time I spotted this duck. I just love its colors. Let me know what

you think. Thanks,

Made by blending 2 exposures. Let me know what you think. Thanks,

Any comments are appreciated. Thanks, Justin

I've fallen in love with PTGui. How do you like my first PTGui

generated pano? Of course its best viewed large.

 

Justin

Any feedback would be great. Thanks, Justin

Not my best pano, but I wanted to show off the power off PTGui. This image was built with 15 vertical frames and would have taken hours to get right in Photoshop. PTGui got it perfect without any real adjustments. I'm not sure how I got by this long without it. Easily worth the $80 or so.

Taken hand held through a fence. I couldn't use my tripod, so I was concerned about the shallow DoF, but for that reason it turned out to be my favorite photo from the entire shoot. What do you think?

I recently started playing around with blending panos using more then

just 2 exposures. This photo uses 6 exposures ranging from 1/40 to 2

secs at f11. I built it manually in Photoshop CS2 rather then using

HDR. What do you think of the results?

 

Note: the waterfall is slightly out of focus, which looks a lot

better in full sized image.

 

Thanks, Justin

I'm not sure how to post a photo to the board, so here's a link to the B&W version.

Thanks, Justin

I normally am not a fan of Sepia toneing, but I like this verison

more then the straight B&W version, because it shows off her eyes.

What do you think of the toneing and the overall capture? Any

feedback would be appreciated.

 

Thanks, Justin

Taken at Babcock State Park in West Virginia. It was about a week

after peak fall colors and they had just shut down the mill for the

year. The waterwheel works when the mill is open. However, I am

still pleased with the result. Any feedback is welcome.

 

Thanks, Justin

Blended from 11 horizontal frames in Photoshop. It was taken from my

6th floor hotel balcony just before midnight when they turned the

blue bridge's lights off. Please view larger version. Thanks, Justin

An attempt at a blended pano from one of my favorite views on the

National Mall. Let me know what you think. Please view larger

version. Thanks, Justin

Taken at the US Army Ordnance Museum on my first trip out with my new

Sigma 105mm macro. I can already tell I'm going to love this lens.

Any feedback would be great.

 

Thanks,

Justin

Levels, Contrast, Crop and very subtle color adjustments in PS. That was really the color of the water. -Justin

This shot was taken at Banyan's in Kailua-Kona, HI during a 3 day run

of great surf. It's my first "sports" shoot with my new D70. Any

feedback would be great. Thanks.

Taken around 1pm. Any opinions?
