We here on Kauai having just a miserable time in the sun, surf, mai tais and, oh yeah, photographing waterfalls in rainforest canyons. It’s just an awful job, but hey, someone has gotta do it. One of the concepts we work on here at DLWS is understanding what the eye sees, what the camera sees and captures and then melding these two into what you, the viewer of the images sees and is taken by. Color Cast is an important lesson. This photo here of ‘Opeakea Falls is a good example of this. Here you see before the color cast has been removed.

This is the photo after the cast is removed. You might be saying it’s a subtle thing, it is and subtlies when added up make for big drama and then the brass ring you need to grab as you close the digital darkroom.

In scouting for DLWS shoots, the staff took a hike. I wanted to find rainforest and man, did we find it. I’ll blog more about it this week. I’m still on our soul search with the D3x, taking it’s resolving power on the search as I incorporate its amazing information into the information I use in what becomes a photo. I shot this photo composed for B&W. It’s pretty obvious but now, I don’t know. The detail in the leaves on the forest floor really have me intrigued with all the detail that was captured.

Then I look at the B&W and I just love the detail that leaps out in the bark. A new adventure in B&W begins? I’m so confuuuused!
More to ponder in life. Image was finished with a 2sec trip to Nik Silver Efex pro.

The DLWS Staff is back together today and started to work very, very hard in fine tuning our shoots for next week. So after stopping to get a shaved ice, to the sand we headed.

We literally drove to the end of the road, parked and walked the beach. Seriously, here’s the MooseCam, see for yourself.

Had to get out of the office, from behind the computer and start thinking about how I wanted to test the D3x for myself. Looking for detail subjects when everything is covered with snow is a challenge.

I headed up to one of my favorite places and started walking, only to find more and more snow. I then walked back to the truck and looked down at my feet.

While I worked this subject, the leading edge of the storm, which still hasn’t hit, started to sneak over the crest. I didn’t find “the” subject I wanted for my testing, but I find some Moose Cam entertainment for you. Take a look.

We kinda took the day off, I spent the morning putting together a little video (105MB) of our Yellowstone DLWS. If you watch it, you’ll see how and where some of the images I blogged were taken. You’ll hear the sounds of Yellowstone, the wind, water, steam and boiling earth. And, you’ll find out why Joe is cocking his head (and it’s not from what he learned this week). For your enjoyment….

It might have been the warm temps, might have been the excitement of not being in the office, could have even been McNally having an adverse effect on me, whatever it was, I was in a artsy fartsy mood this week. This is by far the more traditional type of art from snow, the wind blown sculpture created by snow on a rock. The trick here for me is to find this “art’ in the shade so the shadows are real soft then finishing in the digital darkroom using white point/black point. Then there is the untraditional…

This is Patrick Richard Harry, a ~really~ nice guy who was a participant at our Yellowstone DLWS (we will be returning in 2011). At first introductions, I warned him he would be a model, but I never thought by me. We were at Fountain Paint Pots when a minor irruption occurred and Patrick was standing right there. The rest was real simple. I just lined up his hair with the steam, stopped giggling and clicked. Both images though have a couple of things in common, shape, color and whimsy. Just havin fun!
And speaking about art, check out the bottom image in Jake’s latest posting…WOW!
