Jeff Lynch Photography > 2010 01-13 My first 2010 daily double.  I spent a couple more hours processing last night's session.  This little cutie is 4 weeks old.  Her name is Joelle.  She was awake and bright-eyed for most of the time she spent with us.  Some days I'm not too happy with my daily offering.  Others, I have an abundance of pictures that I'd like to share.  This series is definitely the latter.
Jeff Lynch Photography > 2009 10-09 Nolan and Claire came over for the evening.  They're still my favorite subjects =).  Both have gotten used to the camera, and are pretty used to me snapping away.  The little one just discovered the LCD playback tonight and insisted on seing a few of the ones of her.  She's really adorable.

I took parts of what I liked of the original shot and expanded on them with PS.  This was shot at f/2 which already gave me some pretty good bokeh.  I accentuated a bit, softening the outline of her hair while keeping the eye in focus.  I also did some color correction and bumped up the contrast a bit.
Jeff Lynch Photography > 2009 04-08 I dropped by a park off the Duwamish River on my way home today.  I was hoping to catch the osprey doing their thing, but no one was home at any of the nests, and I didn't see them working the river.  I wandered around and got some good tweety bird pics, but this one was the toughest, took the most patience, and I only saw one all day.  This little guy (I believe it's a yellow-rumped warbler...thoughts?) was dead set on his yellow tree, but wanted to stay as far away from me as possible.  Eventually, it came around to my side of the tree long enough for me to get a few good shots.  Just a crop (a fairly substantial one)in photoshop.

One of the comments on this photo made me realize that I’ve never seen lots & lots of birds that are fairly common.  I recently picked up a Nikon 200-400 f/4: it’s amazing, and is changing how I view the world!  Now if only they made a pocket-size version instead of bazooka-size!  It’s tough not to get noticed hauling it around.
Jeff Lynch Photography > 2009 10-15 This is another shot form my walk yesterday.  The house is a 'here today gone tomorrow' kind of candidate which is what originally caught my attention.  I didn't have enough zoom to catch the sort of details I wanted of the house, but the flowers were pretty cool in my opinion.
Jeff Lynch Photography > 2009 11-26 Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  And happy one week birthday to my little one!  I'm having a blast taking her picture, and most of the time she's willing to cooperate :D.

I think this may be the first post where she's awake and moderately happy.  This condition is mixing in a bit more frequently with the sleep, eat, scream cycle.
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 10-25 I got another opportunity to head up to the Skagit today to shoot the incoming birds.  So far, it looks like the peregrines are out in force, and there are plenty of red tails, kestrels, and eagles around too.  The rough-legged hawks and owls aren't back yet. 

This is a collage of a couple of the peregrine falcons we saw today.  The pictures surrounding the main picture were a fight that we observed between two falcons.  Not sure why, but it was pretty vicious.  If only the light had been a bit better, these would've been some absolutely stunning pictures!  (our motto of the day...).  It will need to be viewed as big as possible to see any of what's going on in the surrounding shots.

Other shots from today are HERE.
Jeff Lynch Photography > 2009 10-08 I had to turn down the saturation on my camera and still think this may be too much.  This tree is crazy-saturated in real life though!  I've been trying to remember to take a picture of it all week, and finally got a chance today.  

House paint that I put on last night sloughed off today due to cold, foggy morning.  When I got home, it wasn't nearly as bad as I'd feared though.  Hopefully, just a bit of sanding and another coat.
Jeff Lynch Photography > 2009 06-09 Misha!  My wife came along and brought the dogs to the races.  There's a big field nearby, and the dogs love it when we give them a chance to get out and run. 

Little crop in PS.
