• Photo Op – Out on a Ride

  Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

  The final photo in my Flagstaff snow series.   No post-processing at all.  Loved taking this pictures and hope you enjoyed them!

• Photo Op – Happy Valentine’s Day

  Sunday, February 14th, 2010

  Since it is a holiday today, I figured I’d take a break from the snow pictures (only one left). Happy Valentine’s Day!

• Photo Op – Lone, Cold Patrol

  Saturday, February 13th, 2010

  One of my final two ’snow’ photos taken during my trip to Flagstaff, a Dalek is on ‘arctic’ patrol. For this photo I did minimal editing. I photoshopped out a ’seam’ from the Dalek and corrected the color.
  One of the things that went right with this shoot was that there was so much [...]

• Photo Op – Dagobah System

  Friday, February 12th, 2010

  Today’s snow photo is the last of the Star Wars series I took, and also has the most photoshoppery involved. The translucent Obi-Wan was created by making Obi-Wan his own layer and having him be mostly translucent. I also faked the background using the clone stamp tool. Finally I removed the spirit’s [...]

• Photo Op – Danger From Behind

  Thursday, February 11th, 2010

  This continues my photos from Flagstaff, AZ. The picture was fairly straightforward, once I was able to get both the Wampa and the Taun-taun to stand for enough time to snap the photos. I have several angles, but I think this one is the most effective. Minimal photoshop work was done after [...]

• Photo Op – The Wampa

  Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

  My second photo from my Flagstaff photo trip. I was really surprised at how well the Wampa photos came out, it’s unfortunate that it is a very dated sculpt and has the giant joint at his midsection. I could have done some photoshop on that, but I opted to keep it looking like [...]

• Photo Op – Han on his steed

  Monday, February 8th, 2010

  Taken in Flagstaff, AZ – on the campus of NAU.  This is the first in a series of snow photos I took on the trip.  I was surprised at how well these photos came out and I decided to spread them across a week (or so) making daily posts.  Hope you enjoy!

• Photo Op – Ice Cream Man

  Sunday, January 17th, 2010

  Built the stand from MDF and a bamboo skewer.  Cow print was drawn on and cleaned up in photoshop…banner was a print out from powerpoint.  This photo was a nice distraction from cleaning the house this morning!

• Sea Devils Rising

  Sunday, January 10th, 2010

  This isn’t the picture I intended to take this weekend, but here it is.  This is the result of a quick trip to Tempe Town Lake and a boat load of why-won’t-these-guys-stand-up frustration.

• Photo Op – Daleks at the mine

  Monday, January 4th, 2010

  A few weeks ago, I took a trip out to Vulture Mine, an abandoned ghost town outside Wickenburg, AZ.  After seeing all the vacant buildings, my friend and I headed back to the car – and then I saw it.  A giant pile of dirt!  Strategic placement of the Dalek resulted in some great pics.  [...]
