The pics thread

Those pictures are incredible. I can't believe the colors!

Not to ruin the beauty of this page so soon, but here is me acting goofy with a side ponytail. I thought I looked cute.

Holy fucking christ chase, does it really look like that? I feel like i missed out big time on my trip last november, hah
 
Haha, yeah Grant, it really looks like that! (well the waterfalls were long exposures to create that flowy/creamy effect, and didn't look exactly like that, but close enough).
 
Looks like a bit of the saturation was upped, and maybe some light HDR was done.

I really like that second to last shot. God damn. I wish I had shit to shoot like that. I should make my way to the southwest sometime.

Cleaned my vehicle up today. Back to pimpin' and ho-in'.

@Strontgorrth: Zion is fucking beautiful! Went there for 3 days with my whole family this summer.
 
Yeah, he plays rhythm guitar. How do you know him?

Knew him on a forum that a few regs here (V5, velocibrad, mort etc) used to frequent, and then once I moved out to Illinois we went to shows and whatnot together. Last show we went to was Chicago Powerfest in like 2008, haha.


Srontgorrth: Those pictures are very beautiful. Have you done any editing on them?

Shots 2, 3, 4 and 5 are all HDR (which is layering multiple exposures in one image to capture the dynamic range of light), and then yeah, some upping of saturation/vibrance, as the colors didn't quite pop in the capture since the sky was overcast, but it was really that green and (in the canyon/rock formations case) red-ish.

Anyways, thanks for the complements everyone. Definitely go there if you ever get the chance!

And Pess, you should go up to Yosemite! I might be heading up there during December. I'll probably also be going to the Death Valley National park sometime in October or November.
 
Only some of you are FB friends of mine so some may have seen these but here are some pics from Walden Pond like a month and a half ago. Also I titled them. I like titling things. My titles are pretentious but fuck you I have a degree.

I like taking really stark pictures...I'm by no means a "photographer", really, but I really like work like Sugimoto's (for those wondering, he photographed the shot used as the cover for U2's "No Line On The Horizon") so I could say he "influenced" me. Also those are all taken on an iPod with some post-production afterwards.

ALSO while I'm on FB and picture whoring here, check out some shots of me playing my last live set of my college career (the performance and projection aspect of my final crazy project)

I'll have you know I work only off softcore porn, and I don't have it stashed on my computer, other people's websites work fine for me :p
