Hillary Yasmer Shemin > Post 231- 8/21/08 Can you find me in this photo???? Ha, ha, of course you can, but I thought it was a very neat shot..if I say so myself. We arrived in Buenos Aires this morning around 9:45am (8:45 Philly time). Flight was about 11.5 hours from Washington DC. After unpacking and some lunch we wandered into the Recoleta Cultural Center in Buenos Aires to see a fabulous photo exhibit. This shot was taken in a little booth that was lined with all these portraits. There was a mirror on the wall reflecting the other wall, so why not? Got out my camera and took a shot. I will try to continue to post a pic a day, but my commenting will probably be rather spotty until our return. I may start a new Argentina gallery so I won't be so overwhelmed when I get home. I will let you know when I start it! Thanks all for your good wishes to us for this trip. This is actually my 7th time here..we love this city, the people and the local energy. Alway fun to practice my Spanish, too!
Hillary Yasmer Shemin > February 15th, 2008 - I decided to capture the memory of my lovely Valentine rose from Sam ( my younger son) as a daily. I learned just how hard it is to take a good picture of a flower that really shows some depth and detail. I have a new found respect for nature and flower still life photographers!!! This is my attempt from my 'studio' ( Well, Matt and Jon have studios, don't they?) This is a shot where you can see what my background is, when in focus. A pillow with a leaf patterned fabric! My studio lighting: a table lamp with the shade off. The rain that Rick commented on: a water sprayer helped with that...Oooh, is it cheating that I did it this way? http://cleantth.smugmug.com/gallery/4044477_ghcHA#254837762
Hillary Yasmer Shemin > Post 187 - 6/18/08 Muahh... Steve and I took a walk this evening as the sun was setting. this is a little grainy, but it was so sweet to see the deer nearby. I know they are a nuisance to many, but I so enjoy seeing them when we are out. After some of the other more amorous posts I've seen here lately, I thought this was a little more on the G-rating side!
Hillary Yasmer Shemin > Post 226 8/13/08 IT WAS GREAT AT EASTERN STATE!!! Ha, ha...sounds like a high school cheer, but it was actually our little gathering of SmugMuggers at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia yesterday. Clockwise from Alex Teithof, Me, Matt Pilsner, Leslie(ljn335), John Williamson ( CSPics) and Lindsay ( Matt's friend ) We had such a great time. I think that posing for this photo and the patience everyone showed while I ran back and forth setting up the camera and getting it right was their sort of 'penitance' for times they may have needed patience from some of their own photo models. We all sort of went our own way from almost 2 1/2 hours. For those who had never been there before there was some serious shooting of the sights. For Leslie (ljn335) and me there was time to chat and get to know eachother better and take a few shots as we wandered. We all met and went out to dinner and got to know eachother better. It was truly another great SmugMug Meetup experience for me that I'll treasure! Really a great group! Thanks, you guys for all making the effort to come into Philly and get together. John, I hope after a nightflight from California, hours wandering the prison, and then the long ride home to Lancaster you are getting some rest today. Thanks for making the effort to join us!!! I wanted to get this shot uploaded, but will also post my gallery of all my shots here. I did not shoot much at all. I had been there before and quite frankly, I am overwhelmed with all the photos I have to process right now. I decided to post good and bad shots just to keep the documentation of what the day was like for me. It will show you that I have a lot to learn. Thank you Alex for your help in understanding that highlighting alert blinkie function...very cool!!! My Gallery of the day is HERE. http://cleantth.smugmug.com/gallery/5701505_hjUdx#351671574_pw6dA This is my new gallery showing off the wonderful SmugMuggers I have met. I sure hope I can add more and more photos to it, too! http://cleantth.smugmug.com/gallery/5682247_h9mao/1/350120322_KgR62#350120322_KgR62
Hillary Yasmer Shemin > Post 215 7/24/08 My new ID!!! It is very hot and HUMID these days as you very well know if you are anywhere except ARIZONA... I keep seeing my ID with that blown dry STRAIGHT hair and tell myself...no way does that look like me lately. I gave up and don't even use the hairdryer anymore. Yesterday afternoon the electricity went out with a storm, there was a nice light coming in from the bedroom window, I didn't have much else to do, sooo.... I set up the tripod, a fairly shallow dof and with my XT and that wonderful remote release I gave myself a photo shoot. It was fun, but a little embarrassing when I think about it. I thought about Shelly and Bill Pador's recent SP's, though and knew I could tough it out! Also the other ID pic had been taken by someone else...I felt this should be an SP! Nice to be able to pick your own shot and do a little PP...A warm glow does wonders to 'soften' the years a little!
Hillary Yasmer Shemin > Post 175 - 6/1/08 - A quiet crumble... This is a decaying overgrown wall of an old farmhouse or perhaps stable in the 'park' where we walk. I went for a walk just before dusk tonight and took my camera just in case something of interest passed my vision. I have taken shots here before, but the light was different and there are some old tractors and stuff behind the building that are often in the way of shots. This one seemed pretty clear of debris on the other side of the wall. I liked what was left of the red paint on the window shutter frame and the blue on one of the stones. This was framed with the camera, I did not crop at all once I uploaded and I just did a slight adjustment of shadows and highlights with a touch of sharpening. Voila! I liked it and I hope you do too!
Hillary Yasmer Shemin > Post 225 -8/12/08 A window display in Asheville, N.Carolina. I am still processing the 1000+ shots I took at my Dental Hygiene conference in Chicago and the many photos of our trip to N.Carolina and East Tennessee. Still haven't caught up on Florida, either. Tomorrow will be a big photography day and then next week...off on a big trip again...I will have a fresh shot in the morning, but this will have to do for tonight! Loved this in the window and it came out just how I was hoping it would, except for some of the reflection at the top that I wish was not there.
Hillary Yasmer Shemin > Post 214 7/23/08 Another walk in the park and another photograph, but not a pup! This was with my 50mm 1.4 hand held. I did take some photos of a dog, but this was my choice for posting this morning. Getting in some variety, I guess. Have a great day and thank you ALL for your wonderful kind words on the Akita, Kita, yesterday!!!! Really gave me boost!!!
Hillary Yasmer Shemin > Post 163 - 5/15/08 To market, to market.... Steve and I picked up a few things at a local Farmer's Market run by Amish people. Steve had suggested that this might be an interesting place to get my pic of the day. This is one of my 'hip shots'. I did a little of the johnloguk watercolour treatment to it. I may post a second photo later since I was MIA in posting yesterday. Just didn't find anything old or new that I felt like posting though I did look at some of your shots yesterday. Regarding my 'clean desk' ...That is a dental office work space and since we are mostly paperless it is easy to keep it neat. My desk at home is a whole different situation! Thanks all for your continued support and encouragement..it is just wonderful to be part of this community.
