ENTHUSIASM
September 16th, 2006I had hoped that by making a posting here about the unknown enthusiast that the culprit would show his face. And so he did. It turns out he is frequent reader of this site who decided to buy "portrait of a cow under a rising sun":http://djamesphoto.com/arranginglight/2006/08/30/portrait-of-a-cow-under-a-rising-sun/ as a birthday present for his father.
In order to keep this confusion from happening again, I've set some preliminary prices for the images on "Arranging Light":http://djamesphoto.com/arranginglight/. Feel free to click around the photoblog and order whatever you'd like. You can also go straight to the "Ordering Gallery":http://danieljames.exposuremanager.com/g/arranginglight, though it is much less interesting to look at in my opinion. As I continue to work on the site, more images will be added. I hope to have two images for every day in August and every day that has elapsed in September before I'm done.
To encourage you to check out the new site and offer your feedback on the site and the ordering process, I've created a coupon code you can use to get 50% off of any of the products offered. The code is: *ENTHUSIASM*. Just enter it at checkout time for 50% off. Once the site has its grand opening, I'll disable the coupon.
Decorate your living room, spruce up the outhouse, spread the word, tell your friends, tell your family, tell a stranger, sing it on the streets, keep it to your self, write on a piece of paper and use it in the bathroom. Whatever makes you happy.
Thanks for your interest in my work. And thanks to Robert for placing and order to get me off my butt in getting some of the administrative work done around here.

I'm really glad it was a regular reader and not a drive-through clicker! Nice pic to choose for his father too!
It looks a bit "HDR"ish if you see what I mean. Is that a result of post processing?

@Rob:
I know what you mean by "HDR"ish. The processed is called ToneMapping. And, actually, while I don't generally like that particular effect, in this case, that's exactly what I did. I took 5 exposures, combined them into a single image, and then used FDRTools to ToneMap that extended range into a standard JPG file.

It worked really well for that image I thought, even though I am generally not a fan of the effect.
As an aside, "reflected trees under blue skies" is my favourite of all your (non-studio) images so far :)
