Vancon 2009 :: J2 Panel Remixes
Part 1

I went through my rejected photos from the J2 Panel at Vancon 2009. I was amazed at how many I could salvage with some photoshop tricks. There are 107 altogether so I'm posting them in 4 batches.

These tend to be in chronological order during the J2 panel. But there may be a few out of sequence. These were all images that were either too out of focus, had lighting issues, were too repetitive with other photos I was using, and/or had some other problem. That's why there are various filters applied to the photos--to make them "usable."

(you really, really should on some of these)

(1) Jared comes on stage for the J2 Panel. I believe he's squinting at something off in the distance. When I was going through my photos again, I noticed him doing this alot. Makes me wonder if the guy needs glasses/contacts, but chooses not to wear them.

(2) close up of the photo above.

(3) and yet closer. I have this thing for the sunglasses Jared was wearing that day. I'm thinking I might do some kind of photo montage of them.

(4) No idea about the toothpick.

(5) A closer crop.

(6)

(7) Closer crop of #6.

(8) and yet another crop. (Yes I did this a lot--sue me.)

(9) different crop.

(10) I love this shot of Jared. I'm glad I was able to figure out how to use it.

(11) closer.

(12) and still closer

(13)

(14) A crop of Jared from #13 above.

(15) and a closer crop

(16) And a closer crop of Jensen from that photo. I was sitting off to the far right side of the stage. It had the one benefit of making the boys appear to be sitting closer--even before they moved their chairs closer. But I had to choose which boy to focus on. It seems I tended to focus more on Jared bizarrely thinking that if I focused on the guy farthest away, then of course the guy in front would be in focus (WTH?? me?)

(17) But I sometimes did luck out and get both boys close enough in focus that with some filters I could "make it work."

(18) a closer crop of #17

(19) and again with the close up of Jared's sunglasses

(20) This was my favorite photo of Jared at the con. So it's not one my rejects. I loved what some photoshop filters did to further enhance the photo.
