KLAS LAS VEGAS MCCARAN

The sky was gorgeous tonight, but the sky was slightly more of an orange-y color than this.

Wild mushrooms taken at the cabin on Thanksgiving weekend.

6 exposures merged into HDR using Photomatix 3.0.

Low-fi with a touch of CS3 Provia.

Taken by my WalMart Global Points camera which goes up to a whopping 1.3 interpolated MP. It's a digital plasticam/junkcam. I'd classify it as the digital lomo.

From the Christchurch, Melaka

It looks as though the rainbow is appearing from the pole!!

This photo is an example result of some Photoshop techniques that I am trying to learn. This is a result of my own trials and errors. I think this is an interesting example of what some experimentation can result in.

i haven't done any matea-post-processed....some photos really lend themselves to the playing-around that i do....this is my first of my girl.

i like the effect i'm getting from over post-processing...not sure why...i guess it feels more creative than simply downloading and uploading pics....and i enjoy the painterly quality of it. not sure what others think...

wanna view it large?

Great view, but the sun was so hot, that made light pollution in the back.

We have a big shoe at our place where we can go inside them and play around. I had a great time.

Giving a plastic pipe a metal look

This week I wanted to find something colorful so that I could really play with the post processing tools introduced in this weeks lesson. I thought the mural surrounding this window did the trick. I struggled with whether or not the window is the focal point of the photo. At first glance I would say no, but as you spend more time with the image and realize that the window is the only "real" item in the image I think it becomes the true focal point. Also I had to make some framing choices, to balance the fireplace I had to include just a bit of the sleeve of a person framed out of the photo. Similarly the image may not appear horizontally balanced but that is the mural painting, closer inspection will show the window is horizontal. Also this was a bit of a challenge because this building was located on a busy road, so to get my shot I had to run out into the middle of the road with my camera and tripod, get the shot and run back before cars came, then do it again and again and again until I got the shot I wanted.

Tried revamping this too blurrish picture by adjusting contrast and brightness. Not really good at it but I guess better than deleting them away.

This started out as a spiral decoration at a circus exhibit. I used a Photoshop CS3 plug-in filter to create a kaleidoscope version and also fiddled with gradient layers to develop the color combination.
