Project 365: Day 123/365 alternate photograph. © 2013 Eric Adeleye Photography. All rights reserved. This was an alternate photograph that I shot on day 123 of my Project 365. This photograph along with the other photograph that I selected for that day to my surprise turned out to be the best shots that day by accident. After I had finished taking what I had originally planned for day 123, I decided to mess around and take two selfies. I almost deleted this photograph without even looking it because I was messing around when I shot it and figured it wasn’t good anyway. I decided to download it to the computer and look at it and it turned out to be one of the two I liked instead of the planned photograph I took. Some times that accidental photograph turns out to be the best one for the day. #squaready #nikon #d200 #hdr #HDR #HDREfex #project #iamnikon

Photo Walk in Wilmington, NC on 19 JAN 2013 on Flickr.© 2013 Eric Adeleye Photography. All rights reserved. This is a HDR photograph of Front & Chestnut Street in Wilmington, North Carolina. This is a 5 bracket shot, processed in Photomatix and Adobe Photoshop CS6. I took 5 shots with my D200 in Bracket Mode, each shot is +1 in exposure difference from the previous shot. Below are the settings for each shot: Photo #1: Aperture: f/13.0, Shutter: 1/40 sec, ISO: 100 Photo #2: Aperture: f/13.0, Shutter: 1/160 sec, ISO: 100 Photo #3: Aperture: f/13.0, Shutter: 1/80 sec, Exposure Compensation: -1, ISO: 100 Photo #4: Aperture: f/13.0, Shutter: 1/20 sec, Exposure Compensation: +1, ISO: 100 Photo #5: Aperture: f/13.0, Shutter: 1/10 sec, Exposure Compensation: +2, ISO: 100 My Nikon D200 was on a Manfrotto 055XPROB tripod. I used a shutter release cable to trigger the shutter. Shot with my Nikon D200 and Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f/3.4-4.5 lens. All natural light, no flash was used on any of the photographs. My goal today was to test out some new settings a colleague recommend I try out with my D200. The settings are below if you want to try them out for your camera. I could see a difference in the quality of the photographs as opposed to my normal settings. The colors were a little sharper and vibrant.

259/365 - Virginiaaahhh!!! on Flickr.© 2012 Eric Adeleye Photography. May is my birthday month, so my license expired on my birthday. Right before my birthday, I attempted to get a new license from the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles, but found out that Virginia had a block on my license from 2004. I contacted the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles and asked them what the block was about, they wanted me to prove that I had vehicle insurance on my truck in November of 2004 or else I had to pay the fine of $550 to have the block lifted. My insurance company doesn’t have records that go back that far so I couldn’t prove that I had insurance and ended up having to pay $550. I’m still mad about having to pay the fine which I thought was unjust which is why I’m yelling about it. LOL, I could have gotten a new SB-910 flash with that money.

256/365 - And the Winner Is… on Flickr.© 2012 Eric Adeleye Photography. This is a photograph of Belle, a pit bull owned by one of my co-workers. My co-worker won a free photo shoot that I raffled off at the Christmas Party back in 2011. I was finally able to have the photo session with my colleague and her family, we had a great time. Belle is a true southern belle and likes my camera.

216/365 - The Wilmington Brush Fire on Flickr.© 2012 Eric Adeleye Photography. The Wilmington brush fire burned strong on April 16, 2012, it would eventually grow to cover over 60 acres of land within Wilmington. I was on my way home from work for the day and saw the smoke from my job. I decided to drive in the direction of the smoke to see if the fire was close by. To my surprise, the brush fire was burning several blocks away from my job. I took this photograph while sitting in traffic as I drove towards the source of the smoke.

197/365 - Smith Creek Bridge on Flickr. © 2012 Eric Adeleye Photography. I’ve been wanting to photograph Smith Creek Bridge for quite some time. I drive by this location often and made including this spot in my Project 366 a priority because of the rich detail and grit of the location, and the fact that I’ll try to do a photo shoot with a client on this bridge at some point in the future. I find myself constantly scouting out spots to photograph and to do photo shoots at. Some days it is pretty tough selecting my photograph for the day, and others I know exactly what I want and only take one photo for that day. I’m still perfecting my technique with Photomatix 4, practice makes perfect. I probably need to go back and revisit some of my earlier HDR work just to see how different the photograph would turn out now. One other thing that I’ve started doing is saving my final photograph in its layered form as a Adobe PSD file instead of flattening the final image and saving it as a TIFF or JPG. I regret not saving my earlier Project 365 final photos as PSDs along with the final JPGs. Maintaining a PSD of the final photographs permits going back to the photo and re-editing it if I choose to do so at a later date. Now any final photograph I edit also gets saved as a PSD. What’s your workflow process like? I’d like to know. Follow me on My Website | Google Plus | Twitter | Facebook | 500px | Tumblr

184/365 - Autobots Are Resting Here on Flickr. © 2012 Eric Adeleye Photography. As you know, a Project 365 can be very challenging on a technical and creative level. I’m always looking for something interesting to photograph. I drive by this junk yard for trucks daily and began to wonder what photography goodness I could find here. I already knew I was going to be shooting HDR photographs, that is my preferred choice when shooting inanimate objects. I could have spent all day taking pictures at the junk yard, but they closed at 5pm. I squeezed off as many shots as I could, and even tried out shooting with 7 brackets instead of my normal 5 bracket mode. I had a good time, and it reminded me of Autobots and Transformers, this is where they rest when they are scrapped. Follow me on My Website | Google Plus | Twitter | Facebook | 500px | Tumblr
