Tennis Anyone?

I managed to get out for a few minutes to enjoy an absolutely beautiful day and watch some of the Nasdaq-100 Open on Key Biscayne, Florida. I only had an everyday bag with me, so I was limited in what I could shoot. Still, I had a good time.

The following are some images from the match between Maria Sharapova and Justine Henin-Hardenne. Sharapova won 6-1, 6-7, 6-2 to advance to the quarter-finals.

Sunday Afternoon Tennis

It's been about fifteen or so years since I last photographed a tennis match. The hiatus finally came to an end as I managed to make it out to a college match today. The University of Miami's women's tennis team took on and defeated the University of Maryland today, and the following are a selection of images from those matches (you can open larger versions of the images by clicking on them).

Growing Pains

After a week or so of testing a new server, I moved the Gallery to its new home today. Unfortunately, while the Gallery and its database were up and running, the server's networking wasn't. After a bit of frustration, the problems were resolved. The new server and the Gallery seem to be happy.

Although the Gallery seemed to be running fine on the old server, the new server should speed up page loading.

Fun With Photoshop

Is it film or digital?

Of course, the question is something of a trick question. The sunrise image was shot on Fujichrome 100, scanned and then made to look like film again (35mm and 4x5 sheet film). The baseball image was originally digital.

The images were made using Photoshop and Film Frames downloaded from ePaperPress. That website has a section entitled Photoshop for Photographers, and the frames can be found in the download section. The frames themselves are actually Photoshop files (.PSD files) that contain the film frames and basic text (which can be modified). To use the frames, you simply resize your photograph, and then copy and paste it into the frame.

While I'll admit there is a limited application for making digital images appear to be film, but being somewhat nostalgiac, I couldn't resist.

Sunrise

Details: ISO: 100 | Exposure: Not Recorded | Focal Length: 180mm

Some images require more work than others to create, while others literally appear before your eyes. This is one that required work.

This is the sunrise seen from the top of Masada, the ruins of the ancient mountain-top fortress located in the Negev desert near the Dead Sea. According to historical accounts, the Romans conquered Masada in the year 72 or 73. I climbed the the "Snake Path" on the east side, a steep, winding path that climbs some 900 feet up the side of the mountain. In ancient times, this was the only path up the mountain, and it is traditionally climbed before sunrise in order to avoid direct exposure to the sun and the desert heat.

I reached the top shortly before the sun appeared in the sky, and knew looking in the distance that the work of climbing the mountain would be rewarded.
