This semestre i've been taking a QTVR class (for those who dont know thats QuickTime Virtual Reality, a program that makes panoramas from individual photos.) and a portrait class, and i thought i'd share some of it with you. first up: panos













sorry for the side scrolling but if i made them any smaller it wouldnt be worth it.

Nice place!
[canyou buy me a coke? ]

spiff

I agree. The coke machine is gorgeous

I love #3 and #6.

Please show the portraits?

and now: Portraits!

my dad:


No, she isnt my girlfriend. No, she won't be yours:


And anyway, if you touch her, you'd have to deal with him:


HOCKEY!!!


This is a really neat guy whom i had just met:


next post: other random photos!

PS: pardon the terrible scans. YUCK! somehow the INSIDE of my scanner is filthy.

now for: Other random photos.

colour work:

messing with darkroom technique:


This was a ***** to shoot, and i want to do it over again now that i have a clue about lighting:


B&W:

one of my first serious zone system shots:


Infrared series:

this is an ongoing thing i've been working on and off for about...1.5 years, only shot three rolls for it, but printing has been a pain. there are three more i still have to make good prints of. the second one i spent 7.5 hours on yesterday. doesnt it look amazing?

Infrared 1:


Infrared 2:


infrared 3:


anywhos, i'm open to critiques, fan mail, hate mail and other forms of mail(as long as its not secks propositions) i can make a print of anything but the colour stuff and the panos if anyone wants one, i'm charging 25$ for an 8X10 print with 11x14 white matte-board(window cut + backing board, not dry mounted) plus shipping costs. you'll have to deal with framing on your own unless you want to pay extra.

so, let me know what you think.

Seriously awesome man, I like.

Hmm... pretty cool.

I don't really like the way the 'panos' curve like that... it just seems weird.

Hot damn! It's very professional-looking. You got, like, vibrant colors in your color-works and contrast without being in-your-face contrast and you make the subjects of the photos engaging and just... wow.

I can only hope I can be as sucessful in animation, game design and/or creative writing as you are with your photography!

I really like the second and third panorama, the portraits, the b&w waterfall and the first two infrareds.

Good stuff.

*looks at panoramas*

<maevie> wow
<maevie> that first one's amazing
<maevie> haven't gotten any further yet
<maevie> *scrolls back to the left*
<maevie> *scrolls down*
<maevie> *scrolls right*
<maevie> man, these are cool
<maevie> I want one blown up by one of those photo-to-wallpaper places
<maevie> but I don't really have a wall big enough
<maevie> or any money

*pause while I looked at the portraits and B&Ws*

<maevie> good god Ford, you're a genius

I quite enjoy the first three panoramas.

The portraits are really cool too. I dont really like the last one that much (the lighting guy) I think it would be cooler if the shadows were darker for that one.

The infrareds are really eerie. Like.. really super duper eerie.

Cool stuff!!!

ZOMG

You're a talented photographer. In my opinion.

Good pics.

About the girl though... I thought it was a guy until you said it was a girl...

Guys have boobs?
Infrared 2 is too bright, too.
