Una foto de hace varios años cuando cambie de cámara, hoy no encontraba con que foto trabajar así que decidí buscar en los archivos y me encontre con esta foto, y voila!
Trini & Andy - 2 Year Anniversary by Paul Jimenez Photography
Esta fotografía tuvo ajustes menores principalmente un ajuste de colores, asi que aumente los colores naranjas y reduje los azules con algunos amarillos para celebrar el amor de esta pareja.

La graduación es un momento único, lleno de emociones asi que tome la oportunidad de nuevamente secuestrar una fotografía de mi primo para hacerle algunos ajustes me gusto mucho como quedó!
"The great Gatsby" by Paul Jimenez Photography
Esta foto si bien tomo tiempo creo que valió la pena, otra gran foto de Paul Jimenez
Ajustes y ajustes y aún estoy con duda de si me gusta el resultado, pero es una foto que me encanta y creo que por eso me cuesta tanto trabajo decidir.
"The great Gatsby - the writer" by Paul Jimenez Photography
Otra increíble fotografía de Paul Jimenez Photography, inspirada tambien en "The Great Gatsby" esta muestra al escritor utilizando una clásica maquina de escribir para narrar la historia.
"The great Gatsby" by Paul Jimenez Photography
Inspirado en esta maravillosa foto de Paul Jimenez Photography decidí aplicar un estilo parecido al de Dani Diamond para la foto del dia de hoy
Pues simplemente derivada de una conversación y después de observar la foto modificada durante varios dias, aqui esta Gaby Troll
Celebrando que hoy vuelve a comenzar en HBO una de mis series favoritas Game of thrones (GOT) decidí hacer esta imagen inspirada en esa serie, la armadura la reconstruí de la armadura que usa the hound
Inspirado en los maravillosos juegos de Starcraft les traigo a Geagot el resultado de combinar a un Gogo con un Zealot. Este fue un reto por parte de Rodrigo Velazquez, entregando 10 minutos antes de que termine el dia!
Mr Mustard in the living room with a candle stick
Lo que pasa cuando apagas las luces del teatro
Inspirado en Maléfica de Disney y con un toque estelar, que divertida me di haciendo esta foto!
Esta fotografía empezó como un arcoiris de colores, al principio quería hacer algo al estilo de los 60s, irradiando colores pero poco a poco tomó una forma diferente.
En la foto del dia de hoy utilice varias técnicas diferentes para generar un look tipo videojuego, uni capas de curvas y con custom brushes agregue una textura grungy a la imagen
Esta foto me tomo un poco más de tiempo de lo que esperaba por que muchos de los colores estaban demasiado comprimidos pero después de 35 layers llegó a un punto donde me gusta, tiene un mapa de color para mejorar la tonalidad de toda la foto y recupere las luces del traje lentamente con curvas.
Tercera foto de este proyecto!!
Ajusta una foto al dia, Juan Pablo Hurtado
Aunque esta publicacion esta encima de la de Luis, esta fue la foto con la que inicie este projecto así que no podía dejarla fuera no creen?
Decidí empezar a hacer mas experimentos con fotografías que tienen algún tiempo en mi disco duro. En este caso elegi una foto que tome hace cerca de 3 años, mi objetivo era darle un look grungy asi que agregue algo de dodge and burn junto con un ajuste de color para lograr este efecto.
Una deliciosa nieve de VelvetBakery.com
Aprovechando que mi esposa preparó nieve tomamos esta foto y por supuesto al final nos la comimos! So here is a photo of icecream (my wife made it) I'm including as much details on the process as I can, I will include a progression video on the comments. Equipment: Canon 5d Mark III with a 100mm 2.8 macro at 1/100s, F9, Iso 320, two yongnuo 580's, four yongnuo 603c's transceivers, one octa box and a diffuse cloth Here is the process I followed: 1- I decided to setup the camera and the ice cream first, we have a wooden table in our living room that has a great color so that was the main background, for the actual ice cream we decided to use a red vase to contrast with the table, I used an empty vase identical to the one the ice cream is in, ice cream melts fast! so I didn't want to waste it on placing so one vase was cooling while the other was posing. 2 - due to the space I tilted the camera to get a vertical view of the table, that way nothing else is in the way, I connected a USB cable to tether it to my laptop via lightroom and setup a 603c with a cable release to the camera to release the shutter, I didn't want to shake the camera or move it since that would affect the foucus. 3 - Setting up the lights was interesting, I started with the main octabox I wanted a strong light coming from the left, the sun was coming down so I used it as a fill light, finally to separate the ice cream from the dark shadows on the dark wooden table I added a flash on the back, kind of like a hair light, and it was to sharp so I added a diffuse cloth on top of it and that made the trick. 4 - with the lights setup we started to place some "props" around it (my wife helped and she was really excited) first we tried with some rice crispies on the back, that didn't work... so I asked my wife about the ice cream and she said that is normally prepared with cookies and blueberries, we added the cookies to the shot, that didn't work either so then we tried with the blueberries, tried to do a bit of a mess and it work perfectly! 5 - everything was starting to take shape so we added some more props first a tea spoon because if you are going to eat the ice cream you gotta have something to eat it with right? it was too shiny so I added some blue berries on top of it to remove some of the attention from it, the background was also looking a bit empty my wife had some colorful bracelets that had the right colors so we threw them in there and finally added the recipe book that she is using at the far end, everything was looking lovely but the ice cream was missing something, then my wife grabbed a basil leaf put it on top and there it was! 6 - after I had the image in camera as I wanted I did the final retouching in lightroom, adjusted the white balance for a warm color because I think food looks better that way, removed some of the contrast in the back, added a vignette and added some saturation to the vase, the basil and the blueberries in the ice cream, the whole idea was to trap the attention right in the ice cream and let the rest of the props blend in. Then again, when dealing with Ice cream you have to be fast or you have to have a lot, so prepare ahead of time! lesson learned: I had to manually adjust the flashes multiple times to get the exact exposure I wanted, I didn't change my camera settings so I had to move a lot around the room... next time I will try setting up the lights and adjust the camera settings to control the image.
I just recorded this google hangout event in which I correct the above photograph if you want to learn more check out the video, i tis in spanish though! https://plus.google.com/events/cv1iehnfmefu1pcj087hi37a56c
Creatures of Nantes "Les Machines de l'île"
This is one of the many creatures located in "Les Machines de l'île" a fantastic place to explore a totally unprecedented artistic project. Born from the François Delarozière and Pierre Orefice’s imagination, it is at crossroads of Jules Verne’s "invented worlds", of the mechanical universe of Leonardo da Vinci, and of Nantes’ industrial history, on the exceptional site of the former shipyards.
