Canon Powershot S95 @ f/2 part - 2

Canon Powershot S95 @ f/2.0

 

I shot this when I first got my Canon Powershot S95.  By far one of the best camera’s i’ve ever had the pleasure of using.  I was never much for a point and shoot person, but after I picked this up, I cannot recommend this camera enough.  It is up there in price, (the S100 it’s replacement, is about $4-500) but it is also up there in quality.  In full auto mode, it still produces amazing shots.

I shot this during my aunt and uncles renewal of their vows. I also got a stern looking at from the priest after I did, as I stepped on the alter side of the church, and that apparently is a big no no.

This was a shot from 2009 using my Pentax K20D. What I really love with the Pentax bodies is the anti-shake built in the bodies, and not in the lens, granted, my D700 can shoot at low light with no problems at higher ISO’s. The joy’s of having a bigger sensor.

In any case, this was shot in RAW, with some minor corrections in processing via Lightroom.

Duela Dent

Oh yeah, very sexy. I’d like to see her without the make up.

 Again, like yesterday’s photo, this was shot at last years New York Comic Con.  At first I thought she was a femme-Joker, but I was quickly told it was Duela Dent.

I can’t wait for the Comic Con this year.  Hopefully we will bring you some awesome images, and maybe even some video.

Still digging through my 2009 pool. I sure as hell shot a lot that year. This was a bookstore located in Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia, PA. It’s at the very end of the market, and I found it out of place. Practically a market place full of food, and at the very end, stands a lonely book store. I processed it in black and white as I think it just adds some drama to the shot itself.

Maybe I should re-process it and add some grain, and some more hardness to it.

Thanksgiving, possibly my favorite holiday.  Food,football and Black Friday all form to make it one fantastical weekend.  I enjoy eating food as much as I like photographing them, and this particular one was our dessert selections for that night.  To the left was a caramel apple cheesecake a friend of mine made for me.  It was quite delectable, and is one of the best cheesecakes i’ve had.  To the right, pecan pie my mother made.  with the right amount of sweetness, it made for a great companion with coffee.  In essense this was the double team of dessert deliciousness.

Another shot from 2009, I had a lot of time then, as the company I worked for cut back our hours so that everyone can stay employed, and not have anyone get laid off, so to make good use of that extra found free day, I did some photography.  I should honestly find a way to do this again, even if it’s a few shots a day.  I do tend to get rusty, and looking at my shot list this year, it’s severely down from my usual 10k or shots a year.

Anyway, this shot was from a fine spring day in Central Park, NYC, it was quite gloomy, but I still somehow managed to squeeze off a few shots. This particular frame is a weeping willow, somewhere in the park.  I did some processing fun with Lightroom, and managed to produce this.

In addition to my random Flickr Photos, I will start posting my shot with the most hits of the day.

Today’s shot is the lovely Jessica Nigri interviewing a fellow cos-playing as Super Saiyajin 3 Son Gokou of Dragon Ball Z.

Another oldy, but goody.  Shot in 2009 with my trusty old Pentax K-20D (honestly, I don’t know why I don’t use this body more often), it’s a simple shot of an old door at my aunt’s place, leaning, spent, and well used.

I don’t have much else of a story behind this shot, I just found it visually pleasing.

I shot this sometime ago, it was quite a rainy day, and I didn’t get much shooting done cause of it.
I was trying out my Pentax M50 lens, possible one of my favorite lenses in my bag, so sharp, and poppy.
The bird caught my eye, as he’s trying to take some shelter underneath the chair from all this rain. I wish I could have gotten closer.

Getting to 1k.

I have such trivial goals in life, one of which is to get this photo of the lovely Jessica Nigri  to 1,000 hits.  I shot this photo at last years New York Comic Con, it’s kinda shitty if you ask me, but 2 things happened.

1. I got to meet Jessica Nigri

2. I was able to photograph Jessica Nigri.

Like I said, trivial goals.  Maybe sometime in the future, I may be able to do a full photo shoot of/with her.

Please the 10’s of readers that we have (and that’s being optimistic), help my photo get to 1k.
