Torrey Pines

Aug 19 2008

I bracketed a series of shots of this tree and rock, hoping for a cool HDR effect… looks like I need to experiment some more. The main thing I noticed was that the sky was more colorful after the HDR merge. I’ve got a few more bracketed sets from the short hike through the Torrey Pines State Reserve… I’ll see how those go.

Duck Poop

Duck Poop

This was taken at Jason’s going away picnic a few weeks back. This duck was just chilling on the grass and he let me get less than a foot away from him. He suddenly got up and walked a little ways away and I had no idea what was going on so I just followed him with my camera and snapped a photo. Right after I snapped it, I realized he was taking a poop, which you can see in this photo haha :P

[EDIT] Here are the photo specs:

f/8.0 – 1/250 – ISO 400 – 75mm – Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi – Cropped

MULT 122 Final – Holiday Card

Aug 7 2008

This is the Holiday Card I made for the final. The specifications were for a generic holiday card greeting and we’d been going to the beach just about every day of the week, so I felt inspired to share the joys of being in San Diego for the holidays :P This illustration took the longest out of the 4… I spent an entire day + a few more hours for touch ups and this was the first of the four that I finished. This card was pretty much my experimentation starting point for all the Illustrator tools, since I was starting from scratch, without a set of base files to go off of like in the HW assignments. :)
