On Instagram
Ok, we all know they went back after the shit hit the proverbial fan. But, I’m still out, because they’ll try again.
If you want more of my thoughts on the matter, try here: http://markramsden.wordpress.com/2012/12/18/on-instagram/
In the meantime, I’m going to start reblogging my Instagram shots, that’re now on flickr (where they should have been to start with, I guess).
The Flyer
A multitude of sins can be covered with contrast and b&w editing, but I love the emotion and feeling of this shot of my adorable, 1-year-old niece.
I’m also playing with editing (at least with my Canon G12) on my tablet (Asus Transformer Prime) with SnapSeed, which is a remarkably good, remarkably intuitive mobile/android image editing app.
[CAR PORN] Genesis at Sunset
I shot a good number after the Rideau Carleton Raceway Slots Cruise Nights (those pics, coming soon), but this one, this is my absolute favorite.
Also, I love that I shot ‘em on High Road. yes, I took the High Road. Quit laughing at me.
Cheap Sunglasses
Taken with Vignette, on Android 4.0.3, Google Nexus.
Summer Evenings
Summer’s definitely back, and with it, one of my favorite things.
Car Shows.
So, Wednesday night, I hit the weekly Rideau Carleton Raceway Slots cruise night in Ottawa. I’ll post a few more up through this week, but this is probably my favorite. I don’t know what this bike is, who owns it, what’s been done to it beyond the original, and honestly, I don’t care. The light was right, and … yeah, just love it.
Black & White: From Above
One more from my shoot the other day. I wanted to separate this one, because it feels different.
As always, I love my high-contrast black & white:
Old Shots: Looking West
May 29th, 2006, exactly six years ago, I got a call from Darsan of Parvati who said “get over here, the storm looks awesome from my balcony. At llpm. When I worked at 7am.
Of course, I went.
I shot 300+ images that night. Exactly ONE of them was worthwhile. The very first one I shot that night.
There’s two other guys online, who got this exact same shot, from slightly different angles. Sadly (for me) their shots are actually better than mine. I forgot to set my ISO down, and I got a ton of noise. I’ve tried a ton of things to get rid of it, and nothing cleans it up enough for me.
In the interim six years, I’ve never gotten another decent shot of lightning.
And it’s not like it’s a BAD shot, really.
