Help Me Out

About a year ago...almost exactly a year ago...I entered a photo in a contest.  The first round was judged by the company that sponsored the contest.  I was voted by that company to move onto the second and final round.  The second and final round was judged by the rest of the world...you guys.  You guys voted for me and because of that, I was one of the eight winners.

That same contest is going on right now.  And again, the piece I entered was judged by the company to move into the next and final round.  Help me out!

Indoor Architectural Photography

 just in case someone missed it....I print all my photos through a company called www.Iprintfromhome.com ...they are really fantastic...great prices, great customer service and really really great quality. I have been using them for a while now and only recently found out that each year they feature their own customers in their paper sample kit (a kit they send out that shows all the types of papers and finishes that they offer). The way they go about choosing the images to use is through a customer contest. Of about 100 images entered, I was one of the 14 that the Iprintfromhome staff selected for the first round. The second round is chosen by the rest of the world...you guys.

I would love to be able to be featured on their photo sample kit, getting my name out there to tons of people...so please if you could, go to the facebook page and click the like button under my image (Biking Through Thunder, by Christopher Kulfan(me))

And now, that which you've been waiting for...
Another project for my schooling today...I was supposed to take a picture of a room/office and actually get a lot of the room (not just a corner or wall)in the photo without too much linear distortion.  I found this nicely lit office space and thought it would work well.  We shall see what the New York Institute of Photography thinks.

King Arthur Would Be Displeased

This definitely isn't a round table...Fairly well defined heads of the table.  Also, a little too much linear distortion.  I don't think I'm using this one, but I much prefer this one over...

Less Distortion

 And less character.  But hey, for architectural photography, it is rather infrequent that people are caring about character.

School Work

This is the kind of school work I like.  Getting to set up floodlights and flashes, arranging and rearranging subjects, it's much preferred over some of the work I did in both high school and college.  Some of that stuff...a lot of that stuff... had little to no use in the real world.  Hopefully my photographic knowledge does have some use in the direction that I am heading.  I really hope so.
So here is one of the projects for my schooling at NYIP...photographing a still life.  I had started with some different types and sizes of peppers, but I just couldn't get a composition that I was satisfied with.  Luckily my wife was around to help me think of a better subject...mason jars.

Still Life with Mason Jars

I like the gradient lighting in the background.  The only thing I don't really like is how that gradient lighting kind of breaks (mostly the big one) the jars into two sections, half dark and half light.
