I'm diggin' a grave in the moonlight
I'm diggin' a grave where we lay
Hopin' the sun won't ever come up
And there'll be no compromise again Read More...

Love grows in me like a tumor,
Parasites bent on devouring its host.
I'm developing my sense of humor Read More...

Snowman
Music:
Blood Orange – Coastal Grooves
Settings:
Nikon D90, 85mm Lens
ISO 200, f/1.8, 1/320 sec
Convey:
I felt like capturing this little winter wonderland snowman that was sitting on my desk.
Alterations:
Fix a bit of the white balance and added a touch of warmness to it so it’s not a dead cold night. I also reduce some of the saturation by 25%. Adjusted the curves to add a bit of pop and up the contrast a tat bit.

Music:
Margot & the Nuclear So & So's – Not Animal!
Settings:
Nikon D90, 85mm Lens
ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/125 sec
Convey:
Want to make a simple product shot. Yes I know the back part gets a little catawampus but it’s what I was able to do with what I had at the moment. No excuse really.
Alterations:
Since I wanted to capture it with a f/5.6 so I had to push it and increase exposure by one stop and then I alter the curves to make the colours pop.

A spur of the moment thing. Beautiful lighting in the kitchen hitting this item and I just went and got my camera.
Alterations:
I tweaked the curves to just some more pop of the colour and contrast.

Nikon D90, 85mm Lens
ISO 1250, f/4, 1/60 sec
Convey:

Alterations:
For this image I just focus on the curve. I started with wanting to make the red more vibrant but when I adjusted to curve, the red became very bold and blended beautifully with the image.

Settings:
Nikon D90, 85mm Lens
ISO 800, f/8, 1/125 sec
Convey:
With little time left for the week and while working on my drives I found this one that was broken and I was just like, yeah this standing up will do. It was sort of just wanting for me to capture it. Wanted the light to be going straightforward on it, but I didn’t want on camera flash since that will just wash out the white so a straight diffuse light is what I used.
Alterations:
Then as always just minor tweaks to the curves to increase contrast and colour. Then I reduce the exposure to bring some of the highlights back.

Swan Statue
Music:
Wolf Parade – Expo 86
Settings:
Nikon D90, 85mm Lens
ISO 800, f/8, 1/125 sec
Convey:
I wanted to capture this swan in a spotlight setting. Sort of like in the ballet when it’s a dark atmosphere to add to the feeling of the swan.
Alterations:
I just tweak it again with the Navi preset I made. Desaturated it all to make it a black and white and helped add a bit of contrast to it.
