After finishing the lessons in Scott Kelby's "7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop CS3", I had to go back and revisit some of my older stuff.

I started with this JPG image, adjusted the foreground using Camera RAW and then made another image in Camera RAW and adjusted the sky.

I merged the two images in Photoshop and then darkened the sky, lightened the foreground, desaturated the blues and yellows a tad, etc.

It's not remotely realistic. The sky is pretty dark for an image that's looking right at the sun.

Oh... and if it looks familiar, it's because I did another HDR Version months ago.

I'm not lost, just wandering. Where I end up is not as important as what I see along the way.

I'm thankful I live in this wonderful state in this great country where we have so many things to be thankful for.

Although it's midwinter and the weather is cold/wet/windy, there are signs of life in the garden, including one of my favourite plants, the Bottlebrush! It's not the first time I've taken a photo of this plant for Flickr, but it is the first time this year(!) and it is rather early for it to flower!

As a career sign guy, I couldn't resist the signs of Paris, where neon is much more common and contemporary than here in the States.

I wonder who designed this sign so that the little stick man got screwed right in the head?

Not long after entering the walk along the north side of Thomson Marsh, we come to a sign indicating that the land was donated around the turn of the current century, as a park, to the City of Kelowna by the Thomson Family. Their farm still exists; we can part of it through the bushes left of centre in this photo.

These signs were found all over central Paris. I learned that they connote tobacco sales.

I've attempted to shoot the upside down sign a few times but just couldn't get it right. Until they put the dumpster in. Then it was perfect.

The other day, I watched the old Eddie Murphy video, you know, Buckwheat Sings. Anyhow, I had "Wookin' Pa Nub" stuck in my head and decided to try and find shots that represented love. I walked through Waikiki for an hour and only found a few. This is my favorite.
