getjlb: Life
http://getjlb.blogspot.com/2008/03/life.html
Tuesday, March 25, 2008. I've been so busy with non-photography things that I've hardly paid attention to this blog or Flickr or anything (but I did make the Houston Photobloggers. I'm looking forward to a bit lighter load and more time for photo shoots in the next month or two. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Houston, Texas, United States. View my complete profile.

getjlb: New Babies
http://getjlb.blogspot.com/2007/09/new-babies.html
Sunday, September 30, 2007. My Canon 40D arrived this week, as did our new baby boy! For the birth, I put one of my monolights in the bedroom (we birthed at home), with a shoot through umbrella, aimed at about 45 degrees up. Thus most subjects had feathered direct light from the edge of the umbrella and bounced light off the ceiling. It worked pretty well as an unobtrusive, light-everything solution. Congratulations on your new arrival. Both of them actually but more so the baby! View my complete profile.

getjlb: Boy
http://getjlb.blogspot.com/2007/12/boy.html
Monday, December 10, 2007. I love this shot. the motion, the texture, the focus, the bokeh, etc. I wanted muted color tones, but not black and white. The muted tones allow the motion and texture to be the focus and not contrast or color. The emulsion border effect just adds to it IMO. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

getjlb: ASAP Foto
http://getjlb.blogspot.com/2007/11/asap-photo.html
Saturday, November 17, 2007. I want to plug a local photo lab who printed this image for me. This is our midwife and our three boys, and we were giving this to her as a gift. I process all my images on Apple's 30" Cinema HD display (color managed of course), and this image was adjusted on that display. Here's the point: the ASAP print looked exactly. Like the image on my screen. Exactly. Sugar Land, TX 77478. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Houston, Texas, United States. View my complete profile.

getjlb: 500th: Houston, Texas
http://getjlb.blogspot.com/2008/02/500th-houston-texas.html
Thursday, February 21, 2008. 500th: Houston, Texas. This is my 500th photo on Flickr. That seems like a lot and not very many all at once. This was photomerged in CS3 from 15 vertical frames into a 10,560 pixel image (width). BTW, CS3's photomerge is intensely good. This isn't my favorite shot but the technique is so cool and you can end up with image that can print very, very large. View this on black. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

getjlb: Birthday Cake
http://getjlb.blogspot.com/2008/04/birthday-cake.html
Saturday, April 05, 2008. I'm not sure why I didn't blog this long ago. this is one of my absolute favorite images of everything I've taken. The only light in the shot is coming from the candles. it's amazing that we have cameras that can capture this. Granted, if you had set up a shot like this, had a tripod, etc., you could pull it off. But to go from shooting a lighted room to shooting this in real time with good results is pretty amazing. Shot with a 40D, 17-40mm f/4 L, 1/30 @ f/4, ISO 1600.

Hope for dealing with difficult seasons of life. 5 Things About Visiting the Hospital for Non-Hospital People. Okay, I got “tagged” by Jon Swanson. And my assigned task in the game is to write this post. Like Jon, I’m not much for playing these internet games, but since he picked an easy list for me to make, and a good list for folks to know, I’ll play along this time. 3 Introduce yourself and tell why you are coming in their room, “Just coming by to check on you.”. 5 surprising things about mountain cli...

getjlb: Sea of Glass, Tritone
http://getjlb.blogspot.com/2007/12/sea-of-glass-tritone.html
Thursday, December 27, 2007. Sea of Glass, Tritone. I'm finally happy with this image. I took this shot two years ago and processed it then but haven't visited it much since, and I was never happy with the processing. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Houston, Texas, United States.

getjlb: Downtown, Cloudy Morning
http://getjlb.blogspot.com/2008/04/downtown-cloudy-morning.html
Tuesday, April 08, 2008. Downtown, Cloudy Morning. The framing of this shot (and the additional frame added in post) is really appealing to me. It was also another opportunity to make a duotone (tritone in this case). A little more fog would've been nice, but oh well. It was cloudy (you can see the low clouds around the tops of the buildings). B&W in Aperture 2.1, tritone and framing in CS3. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Houston, Texas, United States.
