karinaboese > Layers of Grapefruit Fri. March 13, 2009 (Day 332) It's Friday the 13th!!! Yaaay! "Healthy Camera Diet" challenge day 5 of 7. See day 1 of 7. Go to Alternative gallery to see the set up. The lighting is pretty 'flat' on this shot, IMO- but it's time to enjoy the weekend. Have a great weekend you!
karinaboese > The Coffee Challenge...01/12/09 (Day 272) The Challenge: Show us your interpretation of the word, "Coffee." The Participants: Kre8ive, John (300m), Bill Pador, The Curious Camel, Creative Deviance, Johnloguk, Lady Kate, MyKey, Trevlan, Fotoeffects, Hillary, and myself. The Result: Coffee Time Nothing fancy from me today... just 3 giant empty coffee mugs. I miss my best girlfriends. We are in 3 different parts of the world now. One is in Qatar, two are in Indonesia. Eventho' if we were still living in one place, I know it wouldn't be the same anymore. I guess I just miss the old times, but life goes on.
karinaboese > First Edition Sun. September 21, 2008 (DAY 160) Finally!!! After 10 years dreaming about it, I printed my first photography book. YAY!! This is the first proof from Blurb. Not really sure about the quality of the print. Some of my photos look canvasy? Maybe that's just my photo files that suck. Since this is for personal use only, I'm a happy camper! NOTE: The cover photo was taken in Carita Beach, Indonesia. Since Bill asked, here are my thoughts about Blurb: * The program is very user friendly. Easy to move stuff around (photos or pages) * I ordered 7x7 inches, 40 page and I got 70 photos in there. * Love the quality of their 'matte' (not glosy) hardcover image wrap for $24.95 * I also ordered their glosy softcover for exactly the same book. It's nice & a lot cheaper ($12.95) * Looks professional enough for me. * The colors look great! That's very important. * You do want to TRIPLE check everything (wording, spacing, composition, etc) before you order. * I don't know why some of my shots came out/printed like on the canvas. I wonder if that's something to do with Picasa processing or their printer. Will see if it happens on the second edition. * One of the photo, the sunflower, looks over saturated. It doesn't show on my computer screen, but it does on the book. Again, I think that's my mistake on post-processing. So you want to be careful on that. * Overall? so far... I love it! Next time, I'll be extra carefull on my post-processing & probably will switch from Picasa to something better. Picasa is very easy & fast but I read (and Bill informed me) that it is one of the worst free program out there. I hate to do a lot of post-processing... but I think I will have to switch to a new software soon.
karinaboese > Raising The Flag - Iwo Jima Memorial/U. S. Marine Corps War Memorial, Arlington, VA - Tue. October 28, 2008 (DAY 197) Taken on 10/27/08 I'm not Joe Rosenthal - Associated Press ...but I really like my version of his famous shot "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" a historic photograph taken on Feb.23, 1945 His photo is (maybe?) the most reproduced photograph in the history of photography I added some effects on LR (see keywords)on post processing. Click here to see my original shot. Sorry, I'm cheating today... I'm still working on my weekend's shots. I decided to put this one up for today's daily. It is a very moving image for me, the meaning and the stories behind it are priceless & timeless. Update re: Bill Pador's comment: YES!!! LOL!
karinaboese > Another Foggy Morning Thu. March 19, 2009 (Day 338) Taken 03/18/09 This is the entrance of my office complex... If I get here at the right time, when the sun just comes out from behind these trees... I always think, "this is the prettiest view that I see today!" Same trees (on the right) was captured from the other side (See the previous 2 days posting). See more shots under Through My Windshield gallery. Tiny info: * added warm tone & vivid1 on LR.
karinaboese > Bridge to Somewhere Sun. January 4, 2009 (Day 264) I managed to wake up before 5:30am this morning. Trying to get some shot of sunrise & bird at Katy Prairie. I joined Mike B & Rob at the park... It was very foggy & very quiet. I didn't get any good bird pictures, but it was fun. Click here to see original color of this shot. Shelly- sorry, we didn't call you since we're not sure if it's going to rain/not. I wasn't sure if I could get up that early as well. We'll do this kind of outing again soon!
karinaboese > Burnt Out Mon. September 28, 2009 (Day 127) Have you ever felt that you did not have any energy at all? I feel so exhausted... mind, body, and soul. Tiny info: * Another quick shot with D50, 50mm prime lens. * Natural lighting. * Added vignette & soft effect on LR. * Converted to B&W then added tint warm effect.
karinaboese > One for me; One for You Sun. March 15, 2009 (Day 334) It is the end of my self-challenge this week. I must say that shooting fruits/veggies are pretty interesting. I paid attention more on the shapes, textures, and lighting this week. See more shots on Fruits & Veggies gallery. "Healthy Camera Diet" challenge day 7 of 7. See day 1 of 7. Thank you so much for all your comments. I really appreciate it. Tiny info: * window light with gold reflector next to the camera * added vignette on Lightroom * added framing & HDR-ish on picnik.com (under Smugmug Tool). * this is not a Henckels' knife ad.
karinaboese > The Reflection Challenge...01/05/09 (Day 265) The Challenge: Show us your interpretation of the word, "Reflection." The Participants: Kre8ive, John (300m), Bill Pador, The Curious Camel, Creative Deviance, Johnloguk, Lady Kate, MyKey, Trevlan, MSpencer, and myself. The Result: Branches & Sunrise Reflections This was taken yesterday at the Katy Prairie. I really like the way these branches look in the middle of the pond, with the reflection of the sunrise near it. Click here to see the big picture, under Katy Prairie Conservancy Gallery. Have a great week everybody!
