Orange Friday

My friend Gloria

Normally this site is dedicated to my kids. But everyone once in a while I get the itch to write about something a little different, just stretch the old blogging muscles a little bit. Or someone (like gloria) makes the mistake of sending me a photo of herself getting jiggy on the dance floor and the rest is post history.

If you take the green pill

Hello all. Here's a weekend photo of Aidan offering me the milky leaf of a backyark plant to taste, even though he knows it tastes really bad. And is potentially poisonous.

This shot was taken with the Panasonic Lumix FZ-20 at 80 asa 1/640sec at f2.8 at a focal length of 61mm.

The garden of luke

happy saturday all. Aidan and I joined Luke out in the back this morning for a little gardening while aimilia caught some supplemental zzzzs.

kidparazzi portfolio is up!

I finally set up the portfolio pages to kidparazzi.com. They are not currently linked within the main site but you can check them out by clicking the title above the picture.

This shot was taken with the Panasonic Lumix fz-20 at 400asa with a shutterspeed of 1/60th at f2.8

The noise reduced with the neat image photoshop filter (see below), then sharpened and desaturated.

Neat Image

I just came across a cool plug-in called neat image. It's a noise reduction filter for photoshop and so far it works great. It really helps in skin tone and areas where digital cameras pick up excess noise. This isn't the best pic for a demo but it's damn cute.

I'll post more examples soon.

This shot was taken with the Lumix 400asa (whoops) 1/000 of a second at f5.6
