Eureka I

So as you all know I recently went on a little "vaca" to Eureka. I went with about 25 other photography students from Butte College. It is actually a class offered out at Butte College called Photo Field. The class is taught by the wonderful Clancy Gherke. There were about 25 students but primarily a group of us stuck together. Me, Sean, Vinny, Kim, and Katie managed to find our way around the hippie streets of Eureka. It was an amazing Adventure I will never forget.

This 1st post focuses on our 1st stop. The Blue Ox mill. All of these images are HDR images. Which is, as mentioned in previous posts, taking multiple images at different exposure and merging them together later in an HDR program. Here is the 1st set of images from my trip. I have more to come!

Chico Band Photography- Armed for Apocalypse III

yet again....
Ok, so these guys asked me to come back out to their studio to take some more promo pictures for them. And of course the only day of the week I can come out there and all four of them could be there it decided to rain. BUT we were not afraid of the rain. I wrapped my camera in a plastic baggy and made a little peep whole for the view finder and my display screen. Sure enough I got a few group shots that I really like. The rain added for an interesting effect and created some very easy lighting to work in:)

Same as before here is there myspace music page. They have a new song or two up. They are hitting Chico pretty hard right now, so if you feel up to a loud, metal concert keep your ears open for Armed for Apocalypse!!
