Photography and HDR digital art by Michael Steighner
Welcome to my blog!
As a lighting designer for over 25 years, I have helped create an incredible array of environments. Lighting, a crucial part of any event, helps enhance the mood while creating a logical path for eye to follow. It is with this approach that I speak as a digital photographer and image maker.
(well, thats all I have for now. Check back soon for more profound words....LOL)
A week with Hylite Productions – A wedding celebration in Pink!
The black moment is the moment when the real message of transformation is going to come. At the darkest moment comes the light. ~Joseph Campbell
I decided to try and do something a little different this evening. I usually take a lot of time to really tweak and clean up my images before post. This one, as you may or may not see, is a mess! By mess, I mean those pesky lil’ dust bunnies. Count them if you want and let me know how many you can seem. Seriously, there are black little chunks of debris everywhere! Its almost like I took the lens off the camera body and eat a piece of toast over the sensor…LOL.
All this week, I’ve been posting images from the industry I find myself a part of for the better part of at least 8 months of the year. As I am out of town and with out my cool Wacom Intuos 4 graphics tablet, I got a little frustrated with the little mac touch pad and gave up the time consuming touchup.
I plan on posting a follow up post as well as possibly a little video clip on the process to take the HDR image to the next level. Check the blog for updates!
Thanks for stopping by. Look for more on this cool event soon from the poolside cocktails, to more of the room details, to the all night after party shots. That room was awesome!
