Extra Pictures, originally uploaded by Nashua Telegraph.

Many people don't realize how expensive newspaper property is. This is
largely the reason why not all of our pictures go into the paper. We as
photographers also love getting our pictures in contests and stuff, not just
to boost the name of the paper but also our egos a little bit. In order to
get said pictures into a contest though they need to have been published at
some time or another. Lucky for us, the photo blog exists. Yesterday I shot
this picture at a track meet in Concord. The subject in the picture
unfortunately goes to a school that wasn't in our coverage area. I'll be the
first to admit that I have what might call a problem, I can't pass up a good
picture, when I see it I shoot first and ask questions later as they say.
This happens to be one of those casually shot images.

Lucky for me and the contest judges, I didn't neglect to get his name before
I walked away.

Thanks for looking!

Shot this on my front porch last nite after cutting the lawn. Lit by
the porch light and shot with my Nikon point-and-shoot on macro mode.

Color vs. B&W, originally uploaded by Nashua Telegraph.

Sometimes as journalists we are faced with an image looking better in
color or black and white. While most images take favor to color, there
is something mysterious of the power of concentrating on just tonal
range. Ansel Adams and Fred Archer in 1941 created a system of
controlling your black and white exposure through placing your shadows
and developing for your highlights called the Zone System. The result
was a constant method for photographers to have full control of black
and white images for years to come. Although now with the digital age,
that system has become more of a theory of sorts, as control with the
digital darkroom is easier for a wider latitude of people to
experience quality images. However, the principles still remain the
same. This image shot today is an example of two different feelings
from the same image. Which one do you like better? Why?

Me? I have my answer but you'll have to e-mail me to find out :) cperrine@nashuatelegraph.com

Refracted., originally uploaded by Nashua Telegraph.

This past weekend I took a little trip down to Connecticut to visit a friend
of mine from college. We were sitting around talking when her cat jumped up
on the chair next to me. It was then I saw the refraction of the cat's eye
in the kitchen table. Here's the image.

I went to the farm today. Pet a bull and a cow. How cool.
