Senior Photos – Seth

My wife and I had the pleasure of taking some photos of a high school senior from “The Ridge” a few weeks ago.  He was more a fan of architecture and structures instead of nature and landscapes so we got together in the booming metropolis of Goshen, IN.  Below are some of MY favorites:

I’m always surprised how different some of my favorites are compared to what the client picks out or even my wife’s favorites.

It was our 3rd or 4th senior photo session but our first time shooting in “the city”.  There were a lot of great backgrounds and interesting textures and places to shoot photos.  In fact, I wish we had more time to do some experimenting.  But in the end we got a pretty good group of photos for him to choose from.  I even got to have a little fun in Photoshop while doing the post processing.  I added some graffiti to some of the walls using Photoshop and some tutorials from here.

All the photos were shot in RAW format on a Canon 20D or 350D.  Raw files were processed in Camera Raw and some effects were applied in Photoshop CS4.

Golf Photos from South Bend

Last Saturday I got to drive over to the Warren Golf Course at Notre Dame and watch the Future Collegians World Tour golf event.  I was most interested in one particular competitor: Ezekiel Schwartz of Brooklyn.  I had my camera so I took a few photos while I was there.

It was a pretty cool event even though the weather was pretty wet and dreary.  All the images were shot on a Canon 30D with either a Canon 28-135 IS or Canon 100-300mm 4.5-5.6 lens.  Images were cropped and slightly adjusted in Photoshop CS4.

Photoshop? Free? On the Internet?!

I was walking through CVS one day and picked up one of those computer magazines that always has a list of cool apps or gadgets or sites.  I noticed one of the cool sites on one of the cool lists was Photoshop.com.  It mentioned that  you could edit your photos online…  for free!  Of course I was interested since the school I work for probably doesn’t have the extra $ to buy me a copy of Photoshop and a computer decent enough to run it.  For Pete’s sake, we barely have enough to keep the toner cartridges stocked.  So anyway, I decided to check it out.
