October 2010 Wallpaper

I had a number of interesting candidates for this month’s wallpaper image but this one resonated the most for a couple of reasons.  First it’s just a fun fall photo and second, it was taken at Camp Wabasso during the 2009 Girl Scout Great Escape.  Betsy and her friends are there again this weekend for the 2010 Great Escape (enduring even heavier rain than last year) and I thought of them when this popped up in Lightroom.  I’m pretty sure I’ve used this photograph on this blog before but felt it was right for representing October.

If you like this image you can download it to your computer and use it as your desktop wallpaper. A few of the common screen sizes are available:

Download the 1024×768 version here.

Download the 1280×1024 version here.

Download the 1680×1050 version here.

End of Summer Video

I was doing some cleanup of my video files and discovered that I never published a short video I put together last year.  Just one of those things that got lost in the shuffle.   I ran it through a new converter I’m testing out and published it to YouTube.  This is just a little montage of scenes from our backyard.

Goosepimp Orchestra at the Paradise

We were at the legendary Paradise Rock Club in Boston last night (btw, they have completely remodeled the interior) doing some archival/promotional video for them.   We didn’t film a couple of the songs and I can’t help but shoot stills.   The video is in the work queue for editing, but it only takes a few minutes to crank these out of Lightroom…











Man do I hate mic stands…


Technical:

Balcony shot: Canon 7D, ISO 3200, 24-70mm f/2.8L at 24mm and f/3.2, 1/60 second, on sticks.

Stage shots: Canon 5D Mark 2, mostly ISO 1600 (last 2 were at ISO 3200), 70-200mm f/2.8, 1/60 second, various apertures, on monopod.

Lightroom 3: minor exposure tweaks (mostly adding in Recovery to smooth out the bright sections), bit of clarity and vibrance.
