photography on december 28 2011 by sabrina christian ortiz nikon d700 14 24mm f 2 8 at 1 2500s iso 200 i had seen boring pictures of the temple of heaven before and i wanted to capture a much more grandiose photo of it against a blazing sunrise unfortunately beijing has a bit of a pollution problem and the one day i was there i was greeted by a flat gray sky and about 1 000 tourists swarming all over the poor temple i decided to work with what i had and see if i could spice it up in post production i walked around the massive structure looking for an area with minimal human density when i found this angle i set up my ultra wide angle lens to 14mm on a full frame d700 sitting on top of a tripod with a remote control trigger i then began the long 37 minute wait for all the giddy school girls to finish taking pictures of their friends holding up the peace sign i saw an opening and i fired out my shot when i got home i liked most of the photograph but the gray sky was so dull that i decided to take it in a more creative direction this was the temple of heaven so i wanted to give it a celestial feel i searched stock photos for a space background that seemed fitting and i purchased it and used it as my background i set the blending mode in photoshop to multiply and added a layer mask to punch through the important details of the temple i then used curve adjustments to bring out more of the intricate detail and finished it off with some unsharp mask making this photo was an an enjoyable exercise in unobstructed child like creative flow that we often don t allow ourselves to indulge in for fear of not being taken seriously christian ortiz 1 comment the weekly photo december 27 posted in tcblog weekly photo with tags abraham lake alberta aurum lodge canada canadian rockies

on december 21 2011 by sabrina amanda large nikon d90 16 85 mm f 3 5 5 6 iso 250 f 3 5 1 25 seconds sometimes the images that say the most about people don t literally show much of them at all this portrait of my odd socks wearing friend was taken on the spur of the moment hand held no premeditation no set up we were getting ready to go out i think or rather he was sitting on the couch waiting for me to get ready and i grabbed my camera in the hopes of nabbing a shot of him being a modest soul he didn t want to show his face and grabbed a conveniently located painting to hide behind i directed him to move it slightly so that his scarf aligned with the tie in the painting and took a shot using the available light before he lost patience with me for me a big part being a photographer is being able to go with the flow and seize the moment i originally set out to take a simple picture of my friend on the couch and ended up with what i find a far more interesting portrait as a side note it was pointed out to me that the painting is based on a photo of 20th century political philosopher john rawls so this is actually a photograph of a painting based on a photograph amanda large 2
