Just found this new technique, (well, at least new to me) call NIR, for the creation of “pseudo” infrared images. A pretty cool process.

I love the touch of “unrealism” this brings.

Bourbon and Creativity

   Posted by: fmeehan   in Photography, familly & Friends, texture

The power of a good Bourbon should not be underestimated :-)

To create this montage, I used 2 of my images in Aperture and processed them in Pixelmator, Nik Silver Efex and Nik Colour Efex Pro 3.

And a glass of Bourbon…

I love posing my cat. I do a lot of photos of Youri each week, constantly trying to bring originality, to find more “angles” to animal portraits.

For this one, I was thinking of those old “autographed” portraits of movies stars.

The “self” comic…

This is a wall in the Old Quebec city, completely painted, called “la Fresque des Québécois”.

Everyday summer days, people are gathering in front of the wall to get their image taken.

I had to do the same…

It is so rewarding when the image that you have in your head is translated into pixels.

I walked in the streets of Montréal for 4 hours, just to find that particular hat.

But the results, are above my expectations.

Thanks Kamilia for posing for us…

What a nice job!

Gentlemen, can you believe this? Being paid to play with a remote controlled chopper in a store?

The funny thing, very few kids stayed around while their fathers remained there, mesmerized…

I think I want one. What a marvellous gadget to play with the Cat. I’d use it to chase my furry friend all around the house.

So yes, I really want one !

What a nice job!

Val is now 19, approaching 20, kind of being between 2 worlds: College and University.

The immediate consequence is that she no longer plays soccer and we dearly miss seeing our daughter in action. She plays hard, giving all her heart on each shift.

We really miss that. These images were taken on the last game we assisted. We sincerely hope it was not the last…

Now that Cédric is in the Army I guess this image will go to history.

This is my first trial of Topaz adjust 5. This new version was released yesterday so it’s still hot from the oven.

I always been a fan of Topaz adjust, version 5 allows for more controls, more presets and a refined approach.

I love the way I can play with details when I use it. It can really help to bring subtle details that are harmonized with my compositions.

For those who would like to acquire the product, here is the link: Topaz adjust 5 and here is a coupon code “ADJUSTME” that will give you a 30% discount. This offer is valid until the end of the month.

I love this cat, what a face.

I always meet him at the same place, he only leaves me 20 seconds to do my shot, then he is gone.
