A Few From the Austin DGrin Meetup

redleash

Some folks have already posted some of their Austin shots.

We had 9 folks meet up in Austin a couple of days ago, for a shoot at the Capitol and along some of the streets. It was a fun time and we've had some great shots posted in people's galleries. If you want some links, please go over to: http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=152211 You'll find some people have linked to their shots towards the end of that thread.

Here's the link to my gallery: http://www.redleashphoto.com/gallery/10785431_DVx7E#752348304_MQscw

And a few shots for your enjoyment. C&C appreciated.

1. A little something for Randy Wells - this reminded me of his work


2. The Capitol as the sun began to set - some Topaz enhancement to bring out the color of the sweet light



3. I got inspired to do B&W after seeing Caroline's successful conversions.


4. Our entertainment for the afternoon!


5. I did get a group shot, but Kerry is hiding!


6. Andrew hard at work


7. and Byron working hard too


8. One of my favorite shots of the day

Hey Lauren,

Really nice shots in this series, and your right, I do love that first shot! I think the colors and processing are spot-on

I love the perspective and conversion on #3

Could you put names to people in the group shot #5?

#6 ~ Andrew, that looks like "Breaking & Entering" are to follow


Thanks for posting these

Lauren nice shots and PP! If you are going to take my picture from behind each time, could you put some hair back on top of my head?
Randy, sadly, this was a bakery delivery truck and it was empty.... :cry

Shot #5 (group):

Clockwise, from L to R: Byron (ByronF72), Andrew (abdsgicom), Scott (M38A1), Caroline (sweet caroline), Brandy (Mrs ojn - screen name is TBD), Kerry's grandmother, Kerry (Llewellyn) in hiding), Oluf (ojn).

This one was shot at the start of our walk--we went in the Capitol for 1 hour, then headed down Congress towards 6th St and the Driskill Hotel. We lost a few folks at various points along the way, ending up with 4 DGrinners and 1 spouse at Magnolia Cafe for dinner and then 3 diehards on SoCo for the neon shots. Only one of us had a long drive back home at the end of the night . . .

. . . so next time, we're shooting the Riverwalk!

Hope some more of you Texans will show up next time--it was great fun!!

Hi Lauren
Looks like you folks had a really nice day of it. This is a very nice series. I love the light, comp, and PP in #1 & #2. Nice conversion and perspective in #3

edit: Just took a look at the gallery. I love the chairs, door hinges, and capitol dome shots,

Jack, I appreciate you taking time to look at the gallery. Thanks for your nice comments.

Mua-ha-ha! Makes you wonder if I really exist, don't it?

It was great meeting you, Lauren! Love that last shot, and you certainly did get some sweet light on the capitol!
