DEPICTIONS: A tale of portraits
Before my marriage to landscape, I was a disciple of portraits.
I missed shooting portraits.
That is why I would like to share some of my collection of portraits taken during a trip with Manny Librodo in Pagsanjan.
I wanted to rekindle my love for portraits and here are some of my work...

This is from our Texas Road Trip in October. All I did was a bit of curves, levels and hue / saturation sliding to brighten up and saturate the image! We didn't see the bats return to the cave at Carlsbad Caverns; so we ran up to at least catch this beautiful sunrise! I thought we were done with snow for a bit an needed some warm sunshine!!
Happy Sliders Sunday!
I decided to pull from my vast archives for today's fence (and I do mean vast)! *big grin*
I had a choice: the snowy fence or the sunny fence. Decided to go with the sunny fence.
I live right on the edge of civilization. Chicago is the biggest city in Illinois, and Aurora is the second largest city. That is hard to believe! It seems like the rest of Illinois is rural farmlands. Heading west from my house down the interstate is complete emptiness ... a sea of cornfields.
It was bone chillingly cold when I took this image, but somehow it feels warm.
"Happy Fence Friday!"
“Learning became her.
She loved the smell of the book from the shelves, the type on the pages, the sense that the world was an infinite but knowable place.
Every fact she learned seemed to open another question, and for every question there was another book.”
— Robert Goolrick
Light will always be the first and last estate in landscape photography. It is very essential in composition when the sky is used as background for which it is the only source of light. Positioning, getting the details, patiently waiting for that moment.

L'esprit de l'escalier—the feeling you get after leaving a conversation, when you think of the things you should of said.
“Standing on the snow-covered plain, as if in a pasture amid the hills, I cut my way first through a foot of snow, and then a foot of ice, and open a window under my feet, where, kneeling to drink, I look down into the quiet parlour of the fishes, pervaded by a softened light as through a window of ground glass, with its bright sanded floor the same as in summer; there a perennial waveless serenity reigns as in the amber twilight sky, corresponding to the cool and even temperament of the inhabitants.
Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.”
— Walden (1854) by Henry David Thoreau

False color is quite good, muted a bit but more experiments with the CWB may bring out greater range of false colors. The edges were soft as same as any APS-C partnered with a 10mm lens. The colors of this photo was inverted in PS to get the usual infrared colors of the r72.
I really loved the slanted light coming in my window this day and decided to experiment. The crookedness of my window bothers me but otherwise I'm pretty happy with how this turned out, I even like how grainy it is. Starting off the day with some self portraits is a good way to start. :)
Our front yard was a lake during the strong rains last night. The light is from the stret light shining on the puddle.
Added a lens flare above the light in the puddle and added a graduated texture to the image in Photoshop. Added a ghost border in ON1 Effects.

Been wanting to shoot this sign forever. Made a special trip to get it. Great South O steak house - been there for years, though I've never been inside. Probably should before it goes away. Looks very old-school inside.
