Random Fun Pics

Just some random picture I thought you would enjoy.

Scottish Festival - Black and White

I have always loved black and white street photography. I am always amazed how a seemingly normal everyday scene can become captivating art. The Scottish Festival isn't everyday but taking candid shots of the people there proved to be very fulfilling. I hope you enjoy.

Balanced Rock

I almost went to bed without uploading this one. One of my favs from our last Moab trip. Tweaked in Lightroom 2.

The Nothing!

Have you ever seen the movie "The Never Ending Story"? Well if you have you know exactly what I mean. If you haven't go watch it. It's a great movie!

HDR - Utah State Capitol

Cohen and I took a field trip to the State Capitol. I shot these HDR pics while we were there. All of the without a tripod. All developed in Photomatix Pro.

Buffalo

This was fun. I was trying out my new Nikkor 70-300 VR lens. LOVE IT! Turned out to be a great shot.

Journey to the Center of the Arch

I took this one at Delicate Arch in Arches National Park, Utah near Moab. I entered this in a National Geographic photo contest. I like really like it. One of my best I think.

Portrait Collection

I am just getting into portraiture and I really like it. Let me know what you think.

More HDR

I took these at "The Old Mill". I was holding my camera and wasn't sure how good they would come out. Still just experimenting. Good times!

HDR - My New Addiction

Here it is folks (pronounced fokes). My first foray into the world of HDR. Should be good times!

Mesa Mini

It has been quite a while since my last post. Not to many adventures since but I dabbled in faking a tilt shift photo. Let me know what you think.

Quad tone the CS4 way!

I hacked through my last quad tone with CS2 with a book about CS4. It turned out pretty good but it took For..ev..er. This one was quick and easy. It turned out a bit dark but I think it adds to the allure of the photo. I hope you like it.

I took this at the top of Hidden Peak over looking Little Cottonwood Canyon to the Salt Lake Valley. We took the Snowbird Tram to get there.

Yellowstone 09

I am back my peeps! (as if any one visits my blog) I hope this finds everyone well. I have a bunch of pics from our trip to Yellowstone this summer that I thought you would enjoy. So um...enjoy!?

WAY to close to a bear. Black and white with color mask.

I took this outside our cabin. I used a head lamp to light the trees. 5.4 minute exposure.

Same story here. It is a little softer due to the lower f stop but it still is cool looking. 3.3 minute exposure.

Lower Falls, Yellowstone National Park.

Coyote, Yellowstone National Park.

Practice, Practice, Practice!

Just went out to shoot on my lunch break to practice. Then I used the Hue/Saturation and Level controls in Photoshop to make it a little more appealing. Big Cottonwood Canyon UT.

First Stab at Macro

This is my first stab at doing macro photography. Flowers are not my normal subjects. I actually enjoyed taking this photo. There is something therapeutic about shooting flowers.
