the Cube craft gangsta

this is my cube craft, i just wanted to do something different and funny.

cant describe

This is another amazing photo from Popular Photography, a magazine that specializes in photography, if the name didn't spell that out for you. This photo was taken by Eric Evans, unfortunately there aren't any specs as to what his shutter speed, aperture,or iso were. But obviously he used a fast shutter speed in order to capture the light bulb in mid shatter. I really like this kind of photography because there is action that has been captured and you can almost feel it as if you were there, and who hasn't broken a lightbulb in their life. I have attempted some super fast shutter speed photos but it hasn't worked out like it did for Eric Evans here.

Animating in Photoshop!

My jumper effect test1 from John Carlson on Vimeo.

This is a video i made using photoshop CS4 and final cut! final cut was only used to put the different clips together and compress it. I found a tutorial online on how to do this and i followed it, unfortunately i have forgotten how i did this because it has been so long but i can tell you this it wasnt hard at all!

some crazy weather

This image is one heck of a image! i give the guy credit for going out in the middle of a storm, and i give him kudos for just going out into the storm, not to mention he had his photography gear with him! its an amazing photo and i would like to be able to say "yeah, i took that picture" but you wouldn't catch me anywhere near a storm like that unless i had no idea it was there! But man can you imagine the force of the wind i that tornado, some crazy stuff to think about, and once again props to the men and women who are able to go out into these rugged storms and snap photos, give the news, and research it!

Framing.....

This is a photoshop project i did last year, it wasn't assigned i just kind of thought it would look cool, and it kinda does.
after using photoshop for over a year, i still have much to learn and will probably always be learning a new feature or shortcut. last year i also learned that you can animate in photoshop which surprised me. so you can either create shapes and have them move around, or you can bring in an actual clip from a camcorder and animate it using filters and other tools. its pretty neat. ill try to post a video i did.

an amazing picture!

This is an image from popphoto.com. I think that this is an amazing photo, just looking at it makes me want to go outside and start snapping some pics. The composition of it is just perfect, the bear is just emerging from the fog. the photographer was probably up really early to capture this picture. coming from Alaska ive seen many bears and wildlife, but have never really had a chance to photograph them.
