One-Year Ago (21-January-2016) — Pacific Ocean

Gone to See the World. Semester at Sea Spring 2016 Voyage on the MV World Odyssey. Day 16: Crossing the Pacific Ocean.

Charlie’s Angels or the sunrise photography group waiting for the sun to rise. The dawn colors are gone, and it is still 27 minutes until the sun is up. I normally don’t do people pictures, so they took me out of my comfort zone during the voyage to include people in my images. This is really a composite of two images taken with a Leica T camera and 55-135 mm lens (ISO 500, 90 mm, f/4.4, 1/200 sec). You might ask, why is it a composite image? Rookie mistake doing people pictures. One image they all have their eyes open, but I cut off the feet. The other image they don’t all have their eyes open, but I did have the feet. There still are some artifacts from merging the images that need to be fixed.

Home Renovation Project: Bedroom Three.

Little Planet view of my third bedroom after renovation. Prior to this the room was only used for storage. The first view was created using 25 images taken in 15 degree intervals using a Nikon D810a camera and 14-24 mm f/2.8 lens (ISO 200, 14 mm, f/8, 1/50 sec) with a flash pointing backwards. The second view was created using 70 images taken in 5 degree intervals using a Fuji X-T1 camera and 16 mm f/1.4 lens (ISO 800, 16 mm, f/11, 1/15 sec) no flash. The raw images were processed with Capture One Pro, and the Little Planet view created using AutoPano Giga Pro. If you look closely, the second one includes a selfie.
