I updated my NIK Software and discovered it added a new effect - <a href="http://dcstockphotos.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Wet-Plate-Series/G00003J_jRNpRIbs/I0000hWgFGF5Bsio" target="_blank">Wet Plate</a>. Ive always loved the look of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collodion_process" target="_blank">Wet Plate or Collodion Process Images</a> but just never made the effort to pursue it. Even though I basically still have all the 4x5 equipment /ect - I spent many many years with a full blown Film Processing and Print Darkroom - Have sold off much of that equipment and am pretty sure my sticking my hands in chemicals days or over. I've noticed that many Designers selecting Images for Corporate or Hospitality Interior Design Projects have been choosing stylized Black and White Images for Install. So I've been fooling around with this effect and created a <a href="http://dcstockphotos.photoshelter.com/gallery/Wet-Plate-Series/G00003J_jRNpRIbs/" target="_blank">Wet Plate Series</a> of <a href="http://www.dcstockphotos.com/" target="_blank">Washington DC Images</a> that you may see in the link below - but who knows - maybe someday I'll get around to trying the real thing<br />

I've been shooting the <a href="http://dcstockphotos.photoshelter.com/gallery/Cherry-Blossoms/G00009EsQZ.qDMec/" target="_blank">Cherry Blossoms in DC</a> now for quite a few years. I never get tired of it but it can be challenging to produce images that are not just a repeat of previous years. Typically I go down pre-dawn and shoot as mentioned in this <a href="http://www.popphoto.com/how-to/2012/03/how-to-photograph-washington-dcs-infamous-cherry-blossoms" target="_blank">Popular Photography Article</a>. This year I decided to make my way through the mass humanity and go down in the afternoon - it was great and I was certainly successful - but I still like the <a href="http://dcstockphotos.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Cherry-Blossoms/G00009EsQZ.qDMec/I0000HCTm8HCta2U" target="_blank">early morning hours</a> better. Of all I shot that day this might be one of my favorite images - and it's not even of the <a href="http://dcstockphotos.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Cherry-Blossoms/G00009EsQZ.qDMec/I0000DHF30KKV0pY" target="_blank">Cherry Blossoms</a>. I just got a <a href="http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/ef_lens_lineup/ef_8_15mm_f_4l_fisheye_usm" target="_blank">Canon 8-15mm f/4L</a> and this is one example of what it does<br />

I am truly fortunate to have the opportunity to <a href="http://blog.photoshelter.com/2009/07/building-a-monumental-photo-bu/" target="_blank">license images</a> from my collection of <a href="http://www.dcstockphotos.com/" target="_blank">Washington DC Photography</a> for such a <a href="http://randysantos.blogspot.com/2013/01/washington-dc-photography-licensing.html" target="_blank">wide variety of print and electronic media</a>. I recently licensed 12 images to Harlequin Books as <a href="http://randysantos.blogspot.com/2012/04/i-am-fortunate-to-have-images-from-my.html" target="_blank">Book Covers</a> for The Fatal Series by New York Times Best Selling Author Marie Force - with more to come. One advantage in providing a wide variety of <a href="http://www.dcstockphotos.com/gallery-list" target="_blank">DC Images</a> is that whether it's an Art Buyer or Architectural Design Firm seeking images for a Corporate / Hospitality Decor Project - or in this case a <a href="http://randysantos.blogspot.com/2014/06/washington-dc-photographic-portrait.html" target="_blank">Book Publisher</a> requiring a series of diverse <a href="http://dcstockphotos.photoshelter.com/gallery/Featured-Images/G00009kqPuGh9n34/" target="_blank">DC Images</a> - I am typically able to fulfill their entire project needs as opposed to them having to source imagery from multiple artists. This saves the Art Director or Art Buyer time and effort, makes their job easier, and is a big plus for me in acquiring ( and expanding ) projects and licensing <a href="http://www.dcstockphotos.com/" target="_blank">images of Washington DC</a><br />

I am truly fortunate to have the opportunity to <a href="http://blog.photoshelter.com/2009/07/building-a-monumental-photo-bu/" target="_blank">license images</a> from my collection of <a href="http://www.dcstockphotos.com/" target="_blank">Washington DC Photography</a> for such a <a href="http://randysantos.blogspot.com/2013/01/washington-dc-photography-licensing.html" target="_blank">wide variety of print and electronic media</a>. What's Cool about <a href="http://dcstockphotos.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Cherry-Blossoms/G00009EsQZ.qDMec/I0000bsaXpknOuMU" target="_blank">this image</a> is that is was actually included in my archive of <a href="http://www.dcstockphotos.com/gallery-list" target="_blank">DC Photography</a> as an afterthought - plucked from my <a href="http://dcstockphotos.photoshelter.com/gallery/Cherry-Blossoms/G00009EsQZ.qDMec/" target="_blank">Washington DC Cherry Blossoms Gallery</a> by an obviously talented and extremely savvy art director for use in the <a href="http://brightestyoungthings.com/articles/photos-dc-cool-launch-portrait-gallery.htm" target="_blank">DC Cool Ad Campaign</a> - to be reproduced as full page ads in various print publications including <i>Food + Wine</i>, <i>Condé Nast Traveler</i>, <i>Essence</i>, <i>Smithsonian,</i> <i>The New Yorker</i>, and city magazines in major feeder markets like <span class="xn-location" itemprop="contentLocation" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Place"><span itemprop="geo" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/address"><span itemprop="addressLocality">New York</span></span></span>, <span class="xn-location" itemprop="contentLocation" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Place"><span itemprop="geo" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/address"><span itemprop="addressLocality">Philadelphia</span></span></span> and <span class="xn-location" itemprop="contentLocation" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Place"><span itemprop="geo" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/address"><span itemprop="addressLocality">Boston</span></span></span>, as well as 9' displays around <a href="http://dcstockphotos.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/US-Capitol/G0000veNu9YMc2MM/I0000IiHP6mRS01U" target="_blank">DC</a>. What's especially Cool for me is this was shot fiddling around with a <a href="http://lensbaby.com/lenses-composer-pro-double-glass" target="_blank">LensBaby</a> I had just bought and trying to figure out how to use. If you're not familiar - a <a href="http://dcstockphotos.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/American-Flags/G0000fVGAqB_XTaw/I0000gmNwvfnDCuE" target="_blank">LensBaby</a> is an inexpensive plastic lens that offers the ability for some pretty <a href="http://dcstockphotos.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/American-Flags/G0000fVGAqB_XTaw/I0000WHHsM.UNGVY" target="_blank">interesting blur effects</a>. I was a bit concerned at first with this image going 9' but it looked fantastic. <br />

I'm thrilled to have a New Book Project - <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/washington-dc-randy-santos/1118056719?ean=9781934907207" target="_blank">Washington DC: A Photographic Portrait</a> - just released by the fine folks over at <a href="http://www.twinlightspub.com/description.asp?id=208" target="_blank">Twin Lights Publishing</a>. Twin Lights is a publisher of <a href="http://www.twinlightspub.com/titles.asp" target="_blank">very high quality retail picture books</a> and was a pleasure to work with through all stages of editing and production. I am truly fortunate to have been involved in this project and overall am very pleased with the final product.

Stumbled upon this nice scene recently - <a href="http://dcstockphotos.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/US-Capitol/G0000veNu9YMc2MM/I0000S6XFzsN0A_o" target="_blank">Magnificent Magnolia Tree</a> near the <a href="http://dcstockphotos.photoshelter.com/gallery/US-Capitol/G0000veNu9YMc2MM/0/5" target="_blank">US Capitol</a>. Actually this tree is in front of <a href="http://dcstockphotos.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Various-DC-Scenes/G0000IWZ5F9_dBEM/I0000.KJsMIuYMCI" target="_blank">The Library of Congress</a> and I might never had seen this perspective if I hadn't taken a break to park my bike in the shade. This tree seemed almost <a href="http://dcstockphotos.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/US-Capitol/G0000veNu9YMc2MM/I0000Lxj3V8Y10zU" target="_blank">perfectly formed</a> to frame the <a href="http://dcstockphotos.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/US-Capitol/G0000veNu9YMc2MM/I0000JuQ93B0aOvc" target="_blank">Capitol Dome</a> and offer a nice pleasing composition Randy Santoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01613180030716166413noreply@blogger.com0
