One (ok, maybe two) shot(s) every day. My first year of dailies has been amazing, albeit with some twists and turns. I started on a random day in March. I finished off at Dec. 31 just to make life easier. In this year shot my first wedding, my first set of senior portaits, dozens of bike races, several new buildings. I upgraded to full-frame with the D700, got laid off only to find another job within a week. And last but not least, baby Ashley came along in late november. The majority of the shots from November therefore are daily baby photos.

I did my best to shoot something interesting, and to share the how’s and why’s. Photoshop and Lightroom are awesome and my main tools for post processing.

Thanks for looking; thanks for all the comments.

Jeff Lynch Photography > 2009 11-08 I was too lazy to get off the couch and find something to shoot today.  So, I shot one of my least favorite things...me :D.  I was playing on my laptop and noticed that only half of my face was lit.  I thought it was a bit different than the even light I usually go for.  I upped the effect more and changed to b&w in PS.
Jeff Lynch Photography > 2009 11-07 The rainbow faded very quckly, so I didn't have a chance to get any of my settings right.  I dropped the exposure a bunch, but was still not able to bring back the second rainbow (glimpse on the right side) because I'd overexposed way too much, and couldn't get anythign where it needed to be in time.
Jeff Lynch Photography > 2009 11-06 A detour on the way home led me to alki.  I feel like I can always find something interesting to shoot on this detour.
Jeff Lynch Photography > 2009 11-05 Another shot from the weekend because it was rainy miserable all day, and dark before I got home.  I'm just ifnishing processing this set, so it seemed appropriate.
Jeff Lynch Photography > 2009 11-04 Another lightless evening.  I shot this on my way to meet my bro for some racquetball.  Always a fun way to get an awesome workout!

I bit of cropping, color correction, and contrast increase.
Jeff Lynch Photography > 2009 11-03 Daylight savings time is history.  Therefore, there's little hope of getting any shots outside unless I manage to pull something off during work.  

I was working on my shots from this weekend still.  I really goofed up the colors on this one (white balance off with lots of saturation = baaaad photographer), so I dismissed it earlier.  However, thanks to the awesomeness of Lightroom, I was able to work some magic, and am really happy with the way this one came out!
Jeff Lynch Photography > 2009 11-02 I ended up iwth a bit of time today to wander around on my lunch hour near my old work.  The street performers at Pike Place market are always interesting photographic subjects.

I've always loved the market in the winter time.  Way less people than the summer, but all the same fare.  I took a ton of pictures, but all in search of that one magical 'photo of the day'.  

I've been considering using a crazy filter in PS for a bit, and really thought this one lended itself to some treatment beyond the normal contrast and exposure adjustments.  The effect was created with the 'fresco' filter.  I then added contrast to make all the blacks as black as possible without totally losing the face.
Jeff Lynch Photography > 2009 11-1 Another shot of yesterday's cyclocross race.  Very little explanation needed...awesome group of folks who don't take themselves too seriously on Halloween!

A bit of contrast added, and saturation taken away in post.
Jeff Lynch Photography > 2009 10-31 I went to three completely separate evens and took photos at all of them today.  First, I went to see my nephew's soccer game.  Next, I went to see a cyclocross race.  Finally, we went trick or treating with the kids in the evening.  Cool day.  Overwhelming amount of photos!  Three dailies...on from each 'shoot'.

This one is from the cyclocross race.  This sport is a 'cross' between road riding and mountain biking.  It's ridden on a bike which  looks much like a road bike but has different brakes, nobby tires, and more clearance at the fork and the back for mud clearance.  Obstacles are placed which require riders to dismount, run with their bike, then hop back on.  The hop back on is the tricky part....this is an illustration of how it is to be done.  Inner thigh of right leg hits the seat, then you slide on over with the more sensitive bits :-D.

The tunnel created by the parents after the game is second only to treats for the kids' favorite thing about soccer.

Clair and Molly were adorable in their costumes, and were holding hands.  Sooooo cute!
Jeff Lynch Photography > 2009 10-30 I got my free SmugMug strap today.  Yay!  Haven't taken it out for a spin yet, but feels sturdy enough to hold the D300 with 70-200 lens.  Interesting stretchiness, and nice rubber pad to keep it from slipping.  Here's the link if I'm not the last smuggy to find this: http://smugmug.com/free-stuff.mg
Jeff Lynch Photography > 2009 10-29 A quick shot on my way out of downtown after visiting a site for work.  A little contrast adjustment and reframing in PS today.
Jeff Lynch Photography > 2009 10-28 This is another shot of the soccer game last night. Kind of the opposite of the one from Saturday's game with Kaelin's thumb's up.
Jeff Lynch Photography > 2009 10-27 I'll never get sick of the celebration shots!  My nephew had a hat trick tonight, and every single time he celebrated as if he'd just won the world cup.  Soooo cute.  

This shot was taken in almost complete darkness.  It's at ISO 12,800 which explains the grain.  Since it was so grainy, it looked like it had sepia written all over it.  I added a bit of vignette to focus on the celebration.
2009 11-08 I was too lazy to get off the couch and find something to shoot today. So, I shot one of my least favorite things...me :D. I was playing on my laptop and noticed that only half of my face was lit. I thought it was a bit different than the even light I usually go for. I upped the effect more and changed to b&w in PS.
