My day in photos

Ted Szukalski

I have been asked by David Chin from www.mydayinphotos.com to participate in his project - a selection of photos from a single day. My happens to be 5th of April 2007. The photos are very candid and capture part of my day. Parental advisory: there is one nude photograph in the series.
So here it is: Ted Szukalski, My day in photos gallery.

It actually was a very difficult to capture my day in 12 to 24 photos. Well, at least, it was for me. I wanted it to be very genuine and thus the shower and breakfast. I was hoping for more steam in the shower but it was a warm day and thus I was left overexposed .

By the way the breakky looked lots better in reality and it is quite healthy and tasty.

Very interesting glimpse of a day in your life. I think you captured it very well. Lots of great shots and they don't look like quick snaps.

btw, how did you process your color pics-

Ted Szukalski

I've divided the photos and thus my day into 3 post processing sets:
* routine by using cross processing (these are the greenish images),
* family by using sepia,
* photography as art and hobby by using "Lithium effect" conversion in Lightroom.

There is an exception there: a burned black and white in the the shower scene, which I simply wanted to include the oblutions somehow masked - I'm certainly no nude model by any stretch of imagination.

These are awesome! I've been doing a self portrait a day and contemplating doing a very similar project to this - a photos of the entire day.... Probably a very different look, but still.

I love the shots of your family - your wife especially. And your cat. Your cat should NOT be the hate of your life! It's too beautiful! !

Awesome. Thanks for sharing!

enjoyed the glimps into your day, ted!

This is a Lightroom preset called EFF XProcess Dragan. I found it via googling for presets - I stupidly did not book mark where I got my presets, sorry.

Great stuff Ted
You certainly made a typical day into one that is way cool. Love your processing and chosen shots.....heh, now even the shower one is different!

Seneca

Very very nice...good series.

Ted Szukalski

Thanks Seneca and Swartzy.

Just a general comment on post processing: Lightroom is a brilliant tool. You still need your Photoshop but in combination with Lightroom you can achieve a lot of interesting effects and I believe in my case I'm saving a lot of time doing so.
