Some New Images and One Repeat
Not the prettiest subject, but I think the image turned out pretty well. I really like the muted tones. So many of the digital photos I've seen go way overboard with the saturation. I'm really starting to like less saturation with more contrast.
The blinds in our house.
This one I took just before sunrise. I really liked the subtle color and contrast I got out of the sky.
This is a different version of the same image from the last post. I like this one a little better. The first one had too much of a vignette..jpg)
Half Marathon
This is a shot looking down the Colorado River from the starting line. It looked more or less like this the whole race.
This was further up the canyon from the starting line.
These are some images I shot during some down time, just of random stuff in the hotel room. I was trying to see how well I could reduce the noise in the images while using a high ISO. Worked out pretty well.




At Play!
These were for the most recent shooting assignment from my photo vision assignment. We had to shoot a non-typical (for us)subject in a manner we wouldn't usually choose. This is what I came up with. I figured the exact opposite of natural landscape would be urban landscape. So, this is what I came up with. I really liked how moody they turned out as well. Plus, I finally figured out how to control the color, so the images should look pretty acurate color wise.

Photoshop
I came across another photographer's blog that had some interesting Photoshop tutorials. I tried them out on this black and white image and I'm kind of back and forth as to whether or not I like it. The image is one that I took from the car on the way home from work the other day. I pushed the contrast way over the top just to see what I could do. I really like the old time feel it gives the image.
