Complementary

Beact, originally uploaded by LShadrack.

I took this of Sarah at a flickr Triangle Strobist meeting under a bridge in Raleigh. I love the complementary colors which really make the image very dynamic.

The Triangle Strobist group is an awesome group of photographers.
Thanks to everyone who let me use their lighting equipment!

Restoration

This is an image that I restored for Sarah's mother for a scrap booking project. This is only one of many. It provided several different types of problems. Not only with rebuilding the faces where the scratches and damage was, but with the discoloration of the tape along the edges. Getting the couch the right color brown, was probably the hardest part. Overall it came out better than I was expecting... always a good thing.

God's Masterpiece

God's masterpiece, originally uploaded by LShadrack.

I took this in Charlotte, 02/02/2008. Looked out the car window and saw what looked to be an upside down rainbow, but soon saw the whole picture. Luckily I had my camera, cause it didn't last long. Truly amazing!

Its technically known as a 22º radius halo, which is cause by ice crystals that form in cirrus clouds.

Snow!

Finally got some snow! Sarah and I went out to enjoy it all. This shot was taken on duck hunting land. The E-3 held up just fine in the freezing cold and being covered in water and snow.

Sarah and high speed flash

Sarah, originally uploaded by LShadrack.

I decided to play around with the high speed capabilities of my E-3 and FL-50R flash, here is one of the shots I liked. Its of an oddly familiar model; for some odd reason she is always around. Very handy and quite beautiful none-the-less. But anywho, it was shot at ISO 200, f4.0, 1/5000 sec with the flash low and to the right.

Christmas Tree

Here a a few shots I took last night of Sarah and I's little Christmas tree with fake fiber optic lights. Taken at ISO 100, 2 sec, f5.6. I think some of them came out looking like colorful cloth.
