Project Details from Jockimo:
Product Client: Chi-nnati's Pizza - Cincinatti, OH
Glass: MirrorUnique™
Architect: Unknown
A project in Ohio, that Jockimo wanted some new pictures for. This Antiqued Mirror fits nicely in Chi-nnati's. It's burnished bronze appearance adds to the atmosphere of the long row of tall tables. The slight tilt to the mirror helps to capture some of the beautiful ceiling decorations while enjoying some of their delicious Chicago style pizza.
I just saw a friend post an image of downtown Minneapolis and it had me remembering this shot I did last fall during a beautiful day.
I was heading back from an AIA-MN convention and I ran into the site of one of my proposed projects for a highrise. It was a great day to play around with a little HDR and my wide angle lens. However it's not a Tilt-Shift lens leaving me with fiew options to deal with converging vertical lines, if I wanted the focus of my photo to be of the gap that still exists in this location of downtown.
These two images are a side by side comparison of a before and after of basic correcting for vertical distortion (called parallax) caused by a fixed lens.
Before
After
I met Tim Czechowski from Jockimo Advanced Architectural Products at the AIA-Minnesota convention recently. I was very impressed with the quality and interesting properties of his glass products. The Following is a product installation in St. Cloud at ING-Direct. If you're in the area and want to see it in person, the wall is in the public cafe.
I believe this is a product type that is given valued by going beyond the static image. So I decided that this is a perfect test case for my DSLR's video capability. Frankly speaking, I'm personally not satisfied with it's video quality yet. I saw a lot of noise and grain even before I started to play with contrast and exposure in post. If I have a client specifically interested in this use, I'll specifically rent better equipment.
However, the video (Viewed at higher quality here) is an example of how to incorporate mixed media for product promotional material using the photographer's eye.
(Please note, this video is not intended for commercial use. It is only an experiment.)
I've recently completed some initial processing for two photo shoots.
This is Western Row, in St. Paul, MN. Many of these shots are options for my client to choose from. These will eventually be reduced to the final selections. Which would you choose?
