John M. Garrison - Photography

My interests

I love combining photography with almost anything I am doing - whether it is taking landscapes of scenic vistas during my travels, or simply while spending time with my wonderful wife. These are usually images I am capturing just as I observe the scene, or as the event unfolds.

Macro and High Dynamic Range are two types of photogrpahy where I find myself doing more work outside the camera. The best macro shots require me to set up my tripod, select the right lens, and pay special consideration to the lighting. With HDR, a tripod is also critical and there is more significant post-processing involved as well.

Selected Galleries

Saturday in the ATX

This is a pair of galleries titled "Saturday in the ATX" about a day and night in Austin, Texas. Austin is home to The University of Texas Longhorns and it is also the Live Music Capital of the World. These photos showcase those two sides of the city.

Offline movie production stills

I added a new photoset with still photos from the production set of Offline a film directed by Kelly Pratt. I also did some of the graphic animations for the movie.

Wet and Golden

I added a new photoset with photos from the pond.

Food photos for roots

The theme for this gallery is food and dining. San Diego Roots was having a fund raiser which included a silent auction. Items donated for the auction were supposed to be food related. I donated some photographic prints related to food. Not all of them sold, but a few did.
