Here’s my July photos. We took Andrew to the Dane County Fair and then met up with the Camera Company’s outing and the Naglers. I thought taking photos of the rides was going to be pretty fun, but it wasn’t really that interesting. I was feeling a lot more inspired by the people.
When John and I went to the fair on Saturday night to shoot the rides, I wasn’t really feeling inspired. Sunday morning I was dreading looking at my photo dump. A few turned out a little better than I expected. This one was cropped quite a bit and I applied a black and white contrast filter. I also tried to repair the center cap of the wheel a bit, as it was pretty blown out. The other ‘decent’ images are here: thenaglers.smugmug.com
Shot with Canon EOS 40D, ISO 400, f11, 1/4, 21mm
September should be fun and challenging! Shoot an alternate reality with a camera trick. Inspired by this shot:
Maybe your shot could make Nagler look tall or Bradshaw look small. Have fun!
And no Photoshopping! ;-)
Took this photo a couple years ago. I was driving out on a country road and stopped to shoot some abandon rail cars. Seemed to say something about Jesus and the conquest of heavy industry, two ideas that should be contradictory but are often both exploited for gain. Cropped square, bumped vibrancy. Shot with a Canon EOS Rebel XSi ISO 200, F/8 1/250, 29mm.
Hi All,
This is a picture I took at the beginning of the month at Carl’s son’s birthday party. I used the toy camera effect in Lightroom to make it a bit more interesting and have the colors pop more. I could have fixed the hammer in the front to make it more symmetrical, but I do not like to alter scenes when I am shooting.
I will post the details of the shot in the comments.

This is my July entry. I have not been on a shoot for a while so this is it. I title this “meeting for the first time”. The image gives me the sense that she is going on a first date and meeting that person downtown. Her head is kind of down like she is checking messages on her phone or something. To me it gives a sense of romanticism. With that said beat me up over it! The only way to learn to take better photos! It was shot at night so I turned it black and white with a little sepia to give it an older feel and mask some of the graininess.
ISO1600, F1.8, 1/60, 50mm
I’m home with a sick kiddo today, so I decided to go out to the backyard to take some photos. I was aiming to get some good bokeh in this shot and I love the bright colors in it. Taken with my Canon Rebel XS, 50mm, f/1.8, 1/640, ISO 200.
