Images Lost In The Mix

I have no idea how I didn't post these last year, these we're some landscape and nature shots from Bloomfield, New Brunswick I took around the beginning of December. I was visiting my mentor, James Wilson, a wonderful person and a great photographer. The shots below I took when out shooting with him, the one of the tree I took after our meeting on the way home, it just caught my eye on the side of the road, enjoy.

I also tried to do an HDR composite, but I'm not a big fan of the outcome, HDR just looks way too fake to me, but here is my result.

Also here is a link to James' website for those interested to see the work of a true master http://wilsonstudio.ca/

Pottery of Chanelle Creamer

Here is a shoot of the lovely pottery work of Chanelle Creamer. I did this with a very similar lighting setup to Dan's work, only this time I had a front facing light instead of an over head. I did some HDR on the plates so that the focus was sharp all the way across, one is from 3 images and one is from four. It's becoming a lot easier to envision the light setup on the fly now and I really feel I'm getting to near perfect already. I can always use more experience of course!

The pot was just a straight shot, no HDR.
