Showcase Object Photography

Well. There is no aliens. There is no outer space monsters! It’s just the street lights and some red hot umbrella. This is what happen when everyone gone home and someone crazy like me taking photos after dark.

This could be a new moving title:  Alien Invasion – The Red Umbrella Planet!

Hmmm.. I guess I am really bored! 🙂

Well. It’s been a while since I post my last photo “A Typical Day” few weeks ago. I have been busy working and shopping. I took a little break and walk around the SanTan Village Mall at night. I was looking for some nice spot to take night shot. I was unable to find good place to take photos. On my way back to my car, I found this place with all the ladies … Here you go.

This is just another typical day in Arizona. It’s also how I like to spend my time over the weekend. I love hiking and watching people riding horse in the desert. This photo is nothing special other than a long distance shot. It was taken many years ago with my old digital camera Nikon D70S. There is no HDR special effect!

 

It’s been a while since I post my last photo “Jack In The Car” few weeks ago. I have been extremely busy and haven’t got chance to grab my Canon 7D for fun. So I dig into my old photos and found this one. I kind of like Tilt-Shift Effect in many of my photos. The cactus is tall, but it isn’t that tall. With a little touch, this photo shows totally different perspective.

This photo was taken at the go Dutchman hiking trail in Mesa, AZ. It’s one of the easiest hiking trail in the East valley of Phoenix.

What do you think?

After posting travel and vacation related photos for 3 week straight, I went back to my old photo album and looked for some interesting photos l liked and wanted to share with everyone.

I am still not very good at HDR photography, but I do think I have some unique point of views. I took this Jack In The Car photo at Wichenburg AZ for a Toys for Tot Ride Event. Lots people drov up to Wichenburg with packed toys and gift in their back seat. The toys is donated to those poor kid whose parents can not afford the toys.

It was also an antique car show. Lots people drove their unique cars and part on the street to show off their collections. This guy had a giant Jack Head in his car. It was really interesting.

Finally, I got something different on this blog since I spent too much time processing my travel photos and beach photos. This is my last photo of my Caribbean Cruise Trip. I took this photo at Tamp Airport’s Hotel Lobby. This is also the end of my vacation for the first half of 2011. It’s time to plan the next trip for the second half of 2011.

The mirror looks like a never solved puzzle. No matter where you look at it from, you can always see the lamp and light on the wall. Orange is one of my favorite color.

This is my second shot of Lonely Boat since a long time ago. This photo has not been modified or retouched. It’s an actually border patrol boat to guard the place and watching our cruise ship leaving the harbor. It definitely demonstrates how big the ocean is and how small we are.

Really. I am not a big fan of taking sunset or sunrise photos. First of all, there is chance that the sun light will hurt the digital camera sensor badly. It’s also hard to capture the right moment and color. This one isn’t as bad as I thought. Of course, it has to be HDR in order to show more details and colors.

Since it was taken on a moving ship, it was not easy to hold camera steady. Glad that Photomatix Pro solve the problem easil

Here are two more from the different angle and in Black and White.

I like the black and white. It looks like a scene in the horror movie.
