This beauty was taken down by the Old Saybrook town dock last week. I chose the title “Until next year.” because I thought it fit the idea of a lonely lobster trap on a cold winter night, which wouldn’t find any real use for another year.
For the technical side of this shot: I tried shooting this with exposure bracketing so that I would be able to use HDR to make it “pop.” Unfortunately tone mapping the HDR of the bracketed shots really looked ugly. After spending a little time in my favorite programs RawTherapee and Noise Ninja, I came up with what you see above. In a way I’m glad the tonemapping didn’t work out, lately I’ve been overly focused with the idea of HDR. It seems like HDR is everywhere, but it’s not always the best technique for every situation. Anyways, I’m off to school. Hope you all like the newest addition.

So lately there hasn’t been a whole lot to do. I’m not into the whole “lets go get drunk” scene, so I’ve been doing a bit of night photography when I’m not with my girlfriend. My buddy Bryan convinced me to tag along and take pictures at a supposedly “haunted” cometary in Killingworth, Connecticut. North Parker Hill Cemetery may or may not be haunted, I’m not really sure if I believe in that stuff. But I will tell you one thing: it’s scary as hell. We went on a full moon, around ten o’clock, just after it had rained. The wind through the trees sounded like footsteps and voices. We didn’t stick around too long. I don’t think I’ll ever go back, but it was fun. As for the pictures, I screwed up, I didn’t have a good tripod (the thread wobbled) so I was shooting at 1600 iso and the noise was terrible. Well, new tripod now means the night shots are better. Oh the description of the “haunting” is described here: “Killingworth - North Parker Hill Road Cemetery - The ghosts of a bride and groom have been observed crossing the road both to and from this cemetery. A number of other phenomena have been seen and experienced in this cemetery.”

Here is a shot from Lyme, Connecticut overlooking the Connecticut River. This is one of the more beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen or photographed.

The following is a composition of two “shoots.” One being a walk through Cambridge with my mother. These are the day-time shots; most of which were shot from my hip as to remain inconspicuous. The rest of the shots were taken at night throughout the city. I was lucky enough to have had some extra time to participate in this night shoot, organized by the Boston Photography Center. It was a great meetup, and I had a funnnn time.
This gallery incorporates two "shoots." One being a night shoot all around Boston, and others "shot from the hip" as I walked through Cambridge.

This evening I had a little time to kill waiting for a catering event to start so I whipped out the 50mm 1.4 and started snapping away. I really like this kind of photography, and I plan to continue with an extended album of this style of shooting.
I had about a half hour to walk around one of the Yale Architecture buildings with my 50mm f1.4
I was lucky enough to be approached by Kenny, a homeless man who asked me to take his picture.
