New Jersey Photographer
This is my first test of HDR tonight using a single RAW image in Adobe Photoshop CS5. The presets are horrible but I had fun with this. 1/500 sec, f/5.0, 170.0 mm, ISO 100 Photographed for Project 365 (292). Read about 292 here.

Here we are again, talking about budget products similar to the high end ones. As I’ve said in previous reviews, saving money isn’t always the best thing. On the other hand, I’ve also said that saving money can be a good thing. In the came of the Promaster LED42, it is a product that is [...]
This video is showing how Adobe Photoshop CS5′s Content Aware fill works great but is not perfect. After the live photo shoot a few weeks back I notice this tree behind Angela’s head. I knew right away that the first thing I would do in CS5 was to remove the tree. I decided to show [...]
Inspired by Brian Matiash‘s photo of the day I decided to rework an old set of brackets shot in Eastern State Penitentiary. This was done with 9 exposures and merged into an HDR using Photomatix 3.2.8 (you can get 15% Photomatix using “ScottWyden15″) I love that place! View this photo larger on Flickr Thanks for [...]
As you may know from previous posts I collect Komodo Dragon things and also have a What The Duck plush. But who doesn’t like playing with toys, right? I recreated a Komodo Dragon eating session. It may be a bit morbid I guess but they’re just stuffed animals so what the heck. Photographed for Project [...]
Back in February I wrote about being a color blind photographer. Just the other day Mike Panic wrote a similar post himself. I also learned that awesome HDR photographer Brian Matiash is a color blind photographer. So with that said, if you are a color blind photographer comment below with a link to your work. I [...]

Did I just say that? Recently while photographing engagement photos in Longwood Gardens I didn’t have the time to keep switching lenses so for the most part I was using the Nikon 70-200 lens. When we went to one of their indoor exhibits I switched to the 24-70. In between shooting the couple I shot [...]
A typical New Jersey drive, stopped traffic, blurry (not really though), cold but somehow sunny. Man my dashboard needs a dusting. Photographed for Project 365 (292). Read about 292 here.

Usually you frame your photo and then take the picture. For this photo I framed the photo for a crop. My original goal was to take the photo below but I knew that Longwood Gardens was too busy with foot traffic so I wouldn’t be able to to get a clean shot of just Vanessa [...]
I collect growlers from micro-breweries I visit around the country. I have a bunch now from New Jersey, New York, Arizona and Delaware. Can you spot the hidden strobe?
