Art Stroll Photo Show at Castleberry

Juliette — Fri, 13 May 2011 13:49:10 +0000

I’ve been on hiatus with showings, cooking up new projects in the kitchen. Thanks to the lovely people at Atlanta Photography, tonight I’m jumping in last minute and joining my other photographer friends at the Castleberry Art Stroll. Over 70 framed photos will be featured in the gallery and matted prints will be available in the Artist Market. I’ll have a bin in the Artist Market. Come on down and have a glass of wine and take a stroll around good art! All artwork is available for purchase and priced affordably.

Photographing Atlanta’s Untamed Fest

Question: Where could you find a massive human butterfly, a trash monarch, a precision attache case drill team and a marching band dressed in flamboyant, bright costumes – all in one place?

Answer: At the Inman Park Festival Parade in Atlanta, Georgia.

It’s called “the city’s funkiest and most eclectic spring parade” – and with good reason. The Inman Park festival on the last weekend of April, 2011 boasted an explosion of bold, colorful characters parading the streets in celebration. The parade route bridged two distinct neighborhoods; the urban chic Inman Park district and the gritty, eclectic Little Five Points area.

Floats, costumes, children, spectators, vendors, and artists filled the streets and the Seed & Feed Marching Abominables led the parade - a spritely (and seriously animated) group of roughly 50 talented musicians. The band’s bold arrangement, rich diversity of instruments, and elaborate explosion of colorful costumes put a smile on every man, woman and child’s face. The streets reverberated with an excitement unlike most festivals I’ve seen!

Despite the colorful opportunities however, my choice this year in making photographs for the festival highlights had to be in the realm of black and white. I believe black and white images tell a different kind of story; an Atlanta once identified by a subdued southern drawl, has in a couple of decades imbibed from its population copious amounts of culture and diversity. And now Atlanta streets, once a reflection of that reserved southern town, is quite capable of jumping into impromptu dress rehearsals. She can transform from unassuming to untamed faster than a cabaret queen. Take it from a native Atlantan – that’s quite a change.

How to get a lost or stolen camera back

Today’s cameras have serial number information in the EXIF data. A new site called StolenCameraFinder extracts this data and looks for that same serial number data elsewhere on the internet. If you don’t have a photo on file you can enter the serial number manually. Pretty cool, huh?

Color Washing Krystal

Juliette — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 12:05:04 +0000

I don’t normally do a lot of editing on digital photographs, nor do I do a lot of night time photography, but I’m stretching just a bit this month. I wanted to experiment on low light conditions. Although this particular photo I wasn’t prepared for in terms of lenses, I thought I could still salvage it somehow. Experimenting with color washing as a method of enhancing nighttime photography is one way to do that.
