Dont worry fan(s?) I have started a new one, and this will be bigger and better! Its going to include the regular photos but also some music posts, links and other goodies. The site is: www.henrymounser.blogspot.com Put it in your favourites people!!! See you there. http://jaca.blogtog.com/archives/6505_1986637721/287236 Jaca 2008-04-09T20:30:16Z 2008-04-09T20:30:16Z <a href="http://jaca.blogtog.com/archives/6505_1986637721/287236" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/4770/pblog/6471/et_1207773026.jpg"/></a><br> I bought my first ever item off ebay the other day specifically to photograph people wearing it. The gas mask... $10 inc P&P!! Amanda refused to wear it so I got Shaun to do it. Taken at about midnight in the entrance hall to my apartment, lit using a torch, gradient map added in photoshop with a little bit of masking. http://jaca.blogtog.com/archives/6505_1986637721/281558 Jaca 2008-02-27T22:24:01Z 2008-02-27T22:24:01Z <a href="http://jaca.blogtog.com/archives/6505_1986637721/281558" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/4770/pblog/6471/et_1204151053.jpg"/></a><br> Inspired by a discussion with a freind and fellow photographer I decided I would take a couple of self portraits (as much as I hate pictures of myself). Taken using a shutter release cable, tripod, work lamp for lighting and 50mm f1.8 on my 350d. Gradient channel added in photoshop to convert to B&W, extra sharpened to get ultra detail and some slight dodging, burning and cloning. http://jaca.blogtog.com/archives/6505_1986637721/280814 Jaca 2008-02-22T17:32:41Z 2008-02-22T17:32:41Z <a href="http://jaca.blogtog.com/archives/6505_1986637721/280814" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/4770/pblog/6471/et_1203701570.jpg"/></a><br> More painting with light here. Basically taken in total darkness and just highlighted with a torch. Was difficult not to get any motion blur but with a steady (and beautiful may I add) model and some sharpening in photoshop I think it is passable. This is one of Amanda's creations, to see more check here: http://henrymounser.com/assadmounser2/ http://jaca.blogtog.com/archives/6505_1986637721/277634 Jaca 2008-01-30T20:30:47Z 2008-01-30T20:30:47Z <a href="http://jaca.blogtog.com/archives/6505_1986637721/277634" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/4770/pblog/6471/et_1201725071.jpg"/></a><br> These are the headphones Amanda got me for x-mas... they are rad! This picture was taken in the dark using the bulb setting, the headphones were lit using a torch from above for about a second. http://jaca.blogtog.com/archives/6505_1986637721/276526 Jaca 2008-01-23T20:29:34Z 2008-01-23T20:29:34Z <a href="http://jaca.blogtog.com/archives/6505_1986637721/276526" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/4770/pblog/6471/et_1201121367.jpg"/></a><br> A 15 second exposure of the Brooklyn, Queens expressway taken from the roof of our apartment building, darkened in photoshop a little. http://jaca.blogtog.com/archives/6505_1986637721/274491 Jaca 2008-01-09T21:36:53Z 2008-01-09T21:36:53Z <a href="http://jaca.blogtog.com/archives/6505_1986637721/274491" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/4770/pblog/6471/et_1199914653.jpg"/></a><br> One last example of my Duaflex 'TTV' pitures (for now). This is the view from Brooklyn of Manhattan. Cropped and straightened in photoshop only. http://jaca.blogtog.com/archives/6505_1986637721/274035 Jaca 2008-01-06T22:30:08Z 2008-01-06T22:30:08Z <a href="http://jaca.blogtog.com/archives/6505_1986637721/274035" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/4770/pblog/6471/et_1199658678.jpg"/></a><br> Another taken through the viewfinder of the Kadak Duaflex. http://jaca.blogtog.com/archives/6505_1986637721/273234 Jaca 2008-01-02T00:26:03Z 2008-01-02T00:26:03Z <a href="http://jaca.blogtog.com/archives/6505_1986637721/273234" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/4770/pblog/6471/et_1199233610.jpg"/></a><br> So for Christmas Amanda's mum gave me a Kodak Duaflex camera, while researching where/how to get film for it I came across this article: http://www.russmorris.com/ttv/ So I made one of those contraptions and the results were fantastic. More to come later. http://jaca.blogtog.com/archives/6505_1986637721/268362 Jaca 2007-11-28T01:53:41Z 2007-11-28T01:53:41Z <a href="http://jaca.blogtog.com/archives/6505_1986637721/268362" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/4770/pblog/6471/et_1196214957.jpg"/></a><br> More playing with photoshop. Not the picture I wanted to take really but the security guard wouldn't let me take any.
