Cross Processing

I have been playing around with a couple photos from Derek & Ash’s engagement shoot. I have not had a lot of time to process this entire shoot yet, but here are a couple. The style is a cross processed photo, that would be equivalent to developing the film in the wrong liquids.

These also have an overlay which helps to give it the old look that I was shooting for. Let me know what you think.

Engagements – Derek & Ash

My brother-in-law and his fiance are getting married in a couple of months and it was time to get their engagement pictures done. I saw this location from another photography friend, and knew at once that it was perfect for Derek and Ash.

We had a lot of fun, we pulled up and there were deer grazing near the orchard, and some even walked through while we were doing our shoot.

I played around with a few pictures in photoshop by adding an overlay and a gradient in a couple of pictures which give it a really unique feel.

Enjoy..

Draper Utah Temple & Photowalking Day

Jeremy — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 01:34:27 +0000

Saturday was a photography day! First I got up early to get some shots of the new Draper Temple. I am really happy with the results I got. Getting there before the sun comes up is key. It was a really cloudy and rainy morning which made it a little miserable. I constantly had to keep my lens clear of spots. To help increase the blue in the sky I set my white balance to tungsten. This gives the white balance a cooler (temperature) look.

After that I met up with Luke Isley and went up Big Cottonwood Canyon. I can not remember any time I have ever been up that canyon. I have gone up Little Cottonwood a lot. But we found a spot near the road and hiked about 10 min off the road to get some stream shots. I used my polarized filter to keep glare to a minimum. I shot at a slow shutter speed to give the water the silky look. I also have a ND filter that I can put on, but didn’t need to because of the overcast day which made it dark enough to get the longer exposure I was looking for.

Then we had a photography meet up with the Photowalking Utah group. It was at a greenery called Cactus and Tropicals. We had a really great time taking photos with a great group of people.
