Jake's Backdoor Hippie-palooza, 2014 Edition

[BackdoorArts]

This is a very good shot Jake, a GREAT shot as a matter of fact. I love it.

Thanks, Marcel. Your opinion is very valuable to me. And while no chess pieces were harmed in the making of this photo, I did kill a balloon or 3.

An interesting little garage experiment last night. I believe I still smell like baby powder.

This is a brilliant shot. The detail in that hand is amazing and amongst the best I have seen.

Thanks. A little application of Bleach Bypass and Detail Extraction filters in Color Efex Pro 4, and then some localized clarity, highlight and shadow enhancements in LR. It took my pink, fleshy hand and made it look like I might just have been in the shop all day. LOL For reference, that's the same hand one shot earlier in the miss photo in post #683.

Agreed. Would love to have the number for his manicurist.

A facade I've wanted to shoot for a while but never had the right day. Sort of got it here. I have a bunch of crops, but so far I like this one best.

Did the headlights in the balloon picture come from your strobes?

Yep.

Got lots of snaps (and real pics) from the past couple weeks that I've been trying to get around to post-processing. Here are a couple quick ones from yesterday.

Looks cool with the cloud reflection in the middle house, top windows. Looks almost like its just a (movie) facade and we are looking right through to the clouds.

That's not a reflection - it's the total lack of anything behind the windows. You can see the sides of the other two buildings running down along the inside. They're in the middle of a complete renovation - the only thing they kept was the front.

Is that a chipmunk? What a cute little thing it is Great shots Jake

So that's where the phrase "Chipmunk Cheeks" comes from! lol

Love the bird shots Jake, the colours are lovely.

Yes, a chipmunk. They come up on the deck to be fed peanuts. We feed them by hand, but it's tough to hand them a nut and take a photo at the same time. It does make for the occasional territorial squabble...
