The sun was out at the weekend and I was chasing butterflies around the garden. I got a few reasonable shots, but wasn't completely happy with them, so brushed up on a few Photoshop techniques to help me make them better (basically making the untidy background less obvious). Here's one I just finished of a Red Admiral butterfly...my first attempt at this technique.
Thanks for looking!
A recent shot of mine, sometimes I like to loose myself in shooting landscapes, I liked this representation of this shot, hope you like it too! via 500px ift.tt/1Tq4o8P
Assignment: PCA125 – Intentional Blurs
Dates: OCT3-OCT17 2010
Image Tag: pca125
From: Fastball95 (Steve)
Mission from Fastball95:
Attempt to create an artistically appealing image using one of the many ways to create an intentional Blur.
This technique is gaining popularity in the Landscape and Nature Photo world rapidly. Look around at various print pieces for book covers, magazines and print ads, You will see less detail and more blur.
So the concept here is to attempt (knowing this is not easy, the attempt is the key in learning this process) an intentionally blurred photograph.
The preference here is NOT to create the blur in software.
Be aware of composition here, use the lines and motion as well as the changes in color since nothing is going to be in focus.
What it Took
Happy to be back participating in PCA!
I knew for this one that I wanted to do something in nature, and something with water; a natural motion blur. Was hoping that the fall foliage at Loch Raven Reservoir would be a good place to capture some nice blurry reflections from the waves and wind. We went yesterday, but the leaves are not there yet, and the pics were really "meh". Today Ant suggested we go to Gunpowder Falls State Park, and I'm so glad he did. We went in the morning and went one direction, and went back in the afternoon and went the other way. The trees to the south were just glorious, and there were ample places along the river where the foliage was bright, and reflecting nicely in the moving river. This shot is from the afternoon shoot.
The technical aspects of the shot include finding a place in the river where the trees, rocks, and sky were brightly reflected, and the river was moving enough to create a blur, but not so much that it would completely distort the objects to make them totally abstract. Was shooting for more of an "Impressionism" feel. To complete the process the pic was cropped to square and turned 180 degrees to make the trees "right-side-up", and use of the "auto enhance" preset in Aperture 3 (which generally pushes vibrancy by .2 and does some edge sharpen).
If you have time, please view in the lightbox. Makes the colors really pop.

I shot this during the Kelby photowalk a few weeks ago. I liked the backlighting, but purposely decided to set the bottles out of the focal range and create a bit of bokeh.
Las luces de Navidad se han convertido en accesorios fundamentales de toda decoración navideña. Las mismas pueden ser encontradas en la calle, en hogares, puertas, techos y árboles navideños, pueden parpadear o destellar de manera intermitente.
It's been a long time since I last had anything to upload. I am also way behind on Photostreams, hopefully I catch up soon.
Not the shot I wanted, but I liked it anyway. The Fort Desoto Park North Beach was crowded in the evening with terns, skimmers, gulls, and other birds. I was getting ready to snap this picture of a gathering of terns when they were spooked by a young child running nearby.
