How it was edited: I use Apple Aperture to edit photos. So first, I hit auto-levels, which is a magical button that makes almost everything look 100% better. This brightened the photo too much, so I lowered the brightness 5%, bumped the contrast a bit, and increased the saturation to 130%. This got me pretty close to what I wanted, but it still needed more. I adjusted the white balance some, to make it more yellow (it was taken just before sunset, after all). I cloned out one funny speck of dust that was on the sensor (damn dust spots!). Finally, I bumped up the teal and yellow saturations separate from the overall saturation of color, and gave it a tiny vignette. I'm very happy with the final result!
The lighted holiday star above Boulder, CO. Original at bottom right. Some filters applied. Now we're havin fun...
This is a very close up of the water entering our upper pond. A little enhancement gave it to color and produced this abstract photo.
this has got to be the toughest cowboy there ever was, not to mention his horse all caught up in cactus. the roughest, most romantic rider of the wild west.
This picture was taken at an old abandoned mining camp; the boxes are full of discarded core samples. Out of all the pictures we got on this trip this had to be my favorite. More than likely I will post another picture from this same building since there were so many good shots. Everything about this area was perfect. There were various windows facing all directions in this room some boarded up some not but they all added a very soft light and back lighting effect to the space. Couldn't have done it better myself. The walls were a turquoise color and had begun to decay into a black tinge. Everything in this room was so visually appealing to me I could have spent all day inside even with the toxic paint peeling off the ceiling. The core samples were all boxed up but looters and vandals had been in there opening the boxes and knocking over stacks. Out of all the rooms and buildings this one was the most organic feeling probably because there wasn't a lot of room to get around which meant no one was playing paint ball in here. In fact you had to crawl over that first crumbled wall of samples just to get inside the room.
When doing portraits for kids, I usually take some time to have them do some silly faces. It helps put them more at ease and sometimes make the best photos.
The second of the two-parter. I had this crazy idea to do a picture that looked like when a character had to eat a boot in old cartoons. I added the colored vignette, desaturated it, and upped the clarity to give it an otherworldly feel.

Playing with images that to me evoke the mystery of the people who settled in New Zealand, and their passing. Despite thier hardships and challenges, they survived, and their legacy lives on in the names of suburbs, roads, parks, buildings - and in our blood. This is my inheritance,
Ian dropped us off at the next stop: the Andoy Friluftssenter, where Nigel and Ingvilld gave us yet another warm welcome.
This is the view in front of the accomodation, where Ieneke is enjoying nature at its fullest.

Yet another photo of Howie. This one was processed using my new Nik Software Aperture plug ins, specifically Color Efex Pro. This is the Kodachrome 64 Professional program. I like it.
