Hand in Hand

Hand in Hand
This is my submission for the Iron Chef Photography: Fork

I took these pictures with very rudimentary equipment, since I don’t have a way to trigger my external flash off shoe, I just set my camera to 2 sec exposure in a pitch black room and I was triggering the flash manually speaking, so it took me a good deal of trial and error to get the desired effect.

Post processing on this one is minimal, just curves to increase contrast and resizing for web.

Here are other compositions I tried for that project but ended up liking this one more.

This is my submission for Neil’s project The View from Below

This is the picture of an old church in the village of Batroun in North Lebanon. I was there shooting during the week end and took this shot for the project.

I know that it could use much enhancements specially with regards to contrasts, however I do not have Adobe Photoshop installed on my computer yet ”1” and I didn’t want to miss the deadline so this is a quick one done with Picasa.

On a more personal note I LOVE low viewpoint shoot and find myself shooting on my knees quite frequently.

Photo project: Send me a postcard

February 4th, 2008 by Antoine Khater


Picture by Bête à Bon-Dieu
Don’t worry folks I won’t ask you to actually send me one but rather to shoot it for me.

We all come from different places and cultures and everyone of us has a different story to tell about his region, town or city.
The purpose of this 4 weeks photography projects is to show your landmark, any natural or human made edifice that would uniquely identify the place you live in !

That would be like the Pigeon Rocks for Beirut or the Statue of Liberty for New York etc… It does not have to be so famous or well known just a picture that reflects or identify the place you call home.
