iphonetography | april 2011 | part 1

Scott Neumyer — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 21:22:14 +0000

I’ve been shooting a ton of pics on my iPhone lately so I thought I’d put up two posts for the month of April. This is the first one and contains a ton of shots from the first half of the month. Everything in the below gallery was taken with the Instagram app. Enjoy!

iphonetography | march 2011

Scott Neumyer — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 19:25:30 +0000

I’ve always been a big iPhone shooter (just ask my wife how annoying it is that I’m always taking pictures with my phone) but lately I’ve been shooting a lot with the Instagram app. It’s fun and has been a lot more useful since they installed a tilt-shift filter in the past update. My only complaint is that the application doesn’t allow you to save full resolution photos like Hipstamatic does. Oh well. Nevertheless, here are some of my favorites from the past month or so. The first set is all pictures of The Wiggle Bear!

Just a quick portrait of my beautiful little Wiggle Bear that I shot on Thanksgiving. She was such a good girl all day!

lifestyle | birthday bbq for margo

Last weekend, my good friend Frank decided to have a little BBQ party for his wife (and our friend) Margo. It was a great time. Skylar had fun, swam in the pool, and “chatted” with all the other babies around. All this while most of the guys played some Kan Jam.

lifestyle | film | argus “a” on easter

Scott Neumyer — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 16:48:33 +0000

These are film scans of shots I’ve made with my vintage (1936-1951) Argus “A” 35mm film camera. To learn more about it, check it out here: http://theargusa.com/

These pictures are straight from developing and scanning. No photoshop except to change size and add my logo.

Some of the outdoor pictures created a CRAZY color cast, so I’ve included the originals and the B&W conversions I made of them.

So much fun to find an old camera, clean it up, and find that it still works in a nice vintage-y way.

Most of the film used is either professional 35mm color or black and white film. Most of it is expired (by about a year or two), which just adds to the fun!

Focusing is messing, colors are crazy, and lens aberrations are abundant.

I miss film.

things | snowmaggedon: blizzard of 2010

Scott Neumyer — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 00:19:40 +0000

This past weekend, just about the entire East Coast got hit with the second major snowstorm in as many weeks. The first one was quickly dubbed Snowpacolypse, while the second (even larger) storm has been called Snowmaggedon. Whatever you want to call it, it’s clear to see that the Blizzard of 2010 dropped a ton of snowy goodness on us here in NJ.

It’s been a lot of fun and really pretty… All except for the whole shoveling out thing… Hope you enjoy the photos!

*A Note for Photographers: All of these images were post-processed in Adobe Lightroom with the brand-spankin-new Lightroom presets from Totally Rad Actions. I’ve been a ardent fan and user of their Photoshop Actions for ages and these Lightroom presets make my workflow even more fluid and fun. If you don’t already have them, head over to www.gettotallyrad.com (or click on the banner below) and grab them now. They’ll change the way you post-process your shots.

My best buddy, Jon, turned thirty years old at the end of January and his parents (my second parents, as I’ve always referred to them) decided to throw him a great surprise party. He was definitely surprised when he walked through the door and noticed a house packed with friends and family. We were all happy to be there and had a fantastic time.

Happy 30th Birthday, Jon!!

Madison had a great time celebrating her fifth birthday at The Jumping Jungle! She and her friends got to bounce, jump, and play for an hour before heading into a party room to have some delicious pizza. She was thrilled! It was a fun day for one of the most fun little girls I know! Happy Birthday, Madison!

lifestyle | meesh birthday night

Scott Neumyer — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 03:33:01 +0000

Denise and I decided to head out to the Brunswick Grove to ring in my sister Michelle’s birthday night. The music was loud. The place was packed. And the drinks were flowing! It was a good time. Most of these were shot at around 12,800 ISO on the Canon 5D Mark II. Add a little black and white touch and all that noise turns to sweet, sweet grain. Love it! Happy Birthday, Meesh!
