Took some time the other afternoon to shoot a friend’s bike. It was muggy and very sunny but the clouds cooperated by giving me natural soft box just when I needed it.
This is an image I shot a few months ago. I sometimes forget how as adults, we push our kids into situations in which they become warriors – even if its just for an hour or two.
This image still catches my eye and I decided to keep to my initial processing steps with just a...
Found an old photo [ok, not so old - its from this year] and tried some alternative post processing techniques in Photoshop CS4.
Today was a tough day. I was ready to go, feeling very inspired, and in true belief that today would be a good shooting day……Not so much, I think. But here’s what came out of my day.
Location: Wakefield, VA
Notes: One abondoned factory, a small cemetary, and an antique and curio store…..
I drove home today from an event. Ok, I’ll admit it was a dog show and my puppy was entered. I was driving the 2 hours back and forth each day to take care of the dogs at home while Angela was at the hotel near the show site.
Driving home, the blasted GPS...
We’ll be holding the obedience trial today. I took the time to do my own quick PhotoWalk around the grounds of this former Air Force base.
Sequin is a Belgian Malinois, imported from France. I was able to catch her in blue belles……
I’ve been experimenting with a new technique that I believe creates a surreal-almost-real image quality to a photo.
Note: I just re-read this. I sound like a dip$hit. Anyway, I did the effect, I’m liking it.
Or something like that. Took a stroll downtown and just went nuts this morning. Really digging each and every new architectural wonder I come across.
And a little Great Halloween Flair
A nice door…but I had to add some texture to it!
As I sit at Caribou Coffee [but not having a coffee], I found a pic that I really liked.A bit of over photoshopping but its all about the cinematic effect for me lately. I could have done a bit more burning and vignette application to lead the eye but I don’t have all day ...
I went on my own personal foto walk this a.m. I jumped into the car and had my butt down in Olde Towne Petersburg, VA right before 7am. The Farmer’s Market folks were just assembling their goods, a few people were out with their dogs, and other early morning risers were enjoying the cool morning.
I...
Well, when you get to sit on your arse for three hours, you tend to find somehting to do. I recently purchased some very nice textures from Jesh de Rox. He has a few websites and the one I used is named Fine Art Textures
Anyhoooo…..since I didn’t have a wide variety of images on my...
Although the camera is NOT good on the iPhone, I found the pics to be acceptable for web and blogging purposes.—————Here’s my friendly neighborhood ATT dude who fixed me up with my iPhone. He’s trying to dodge my camera.Here are two pictures of the lovely Angela. She is in shadow and shade in the pics. ...
On a trip to Viriginia Beach, I had an opportunity to snap a few pictures along the boardwalk. If you ever get a chance to make it down there, I highly recommend for breakfast the restaurant Pocahontas. WONDERFUL buttermilk pancakes and service was excellent.
Just a few choice images to share!
Let’s start with a Mali boy – first getting out of the sun and then seeking out a nice pool.
Then we have a Groen boy getting a bath.
Finally, we have my own dog, Thai. She earned a point today while be handled by Jo Ann Charnik
Often during my trips to various dog events [and even those homo sapien events] I run into a great vendor. Truthfully, I am NOT a arts and crafts person but every once in a while I find an artist who really has strong work.
Works of Wonder is one of those artists. The art pieces are...
Smiling Tervuren and handler. Very typical of the Belgian breed.
Lucas, the Smooth Collie, in the puppy class
Saluki [or was it a Borzoi] getting a rest before entering the ring.
Miss Kathy with her new OE boy [Best of Winners!]
Thai, in the 12-18 month class.
Catherine Zeta Jones, the Tervuren in Open.
Another Terv competitor.
And another Terv. ...
Went to the VKC show to see one of my dogs and ended up shooting more photos than I expected.
A small sampling:
I rarely get the chance, but I decided to shoot some pictures of furless babies…yes, an actual REAL baby.
I’m not sure I quite understand the “how” but I get the “what”… I think.
