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.



(21)  And a close up of those eyes and sunglasses.
