After - edited in LR 3, B&W creative antique grayscale preset applied after crop.

When Meggers was learning to play ice hockey, she used to come up to the glass and do a "Lane Frost" - waving both hands simultaneously. It's one of my favorite hockey memories!

Nothing like a dog with a frisbee

and the duck lays forgotten

Can't figure out how to get the trampoline screen to not be in the picture....

2009-01-12T12:40:00.000-08:00

The first shot is Straight Out of Camera (SOOC). The second picture is the same one, edited with a freebee program called Picnik. You can do some pretty amazing things with this free little gem. Even more if you register....

The moon

2009-01-11T07:59:00.000-08:00

The moon is supposed to be at it's biggest and brightest of the year this week. Last night after basketball, I went out and snapped some shots. There was soooo much moisture in the air, it created an interesting effect!

Christmas Bokeh

2008-12-25T22:50:00.000-08:00

Bokeh is from a Japanese word that means blurred or fuzzy. In photography, it's light that has been turned into circles. They (whoever "they" are) say that the good lenses make good circles. I don't know about that, but it was fun trying to get just the right effect off the Christmas tree lights! Usually folks have something in focus in the foreground, but I just couldn't get there! This is my result...

This first one, not so good. It just looks like an out of focus picture. Definitely needs something IN focus in the foreground.

This one is better. Still lacking in something to draw the eye, but I like the bright circles! ohhhh shiny objects....!

Buzzard

2008-12-22T09:59:00.000-08:00

This buzzard was just hanging out on the fence post like this... there was a dead deer in the barrow ditch, so I think he was flagging for the other buzzards - telling them that there was fresh food there!

At the beach

2008-10-24T12:31:00.000-07:00

At the overlook

Looking west

Looking north

The surf was wicked high today, and really rocking. I didn't let the dog in too much, for fear he would get sucked out. There's an evil undertow at this beach. I used a 70-300mm lens for these shots. Shot in RAW mode - Histogram corrected in Adobe Lightroom.

A foggy day

2008-10-17T11:20:00.001-07:00

I just love the coastal fog we get here. I took this one on the way to water aerobics...

Hmmmm

2008-10-17T10:03:00.000-07:00

I wish I could say I took this one, but I can't. I WANT to take this one. I NEED to take this one. How do people DO that?

Light and shadows

2008-10-10T16:58:00.000-07:00

Taken this afternoon with Meghan in the tree out front. I love the way the light and shadows play on her face. Practicing for the "light" challenge!

This second picture was edited with PS Elements to accent the light source a bit.

What software can do...

2008-10-10T13:26:00.000-07:00

The photo above is the original

This one was edited with Adobe Photoshop Elements - adding a "violet" filter

This last one was edited in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - direct positive preset filter applied. Yeesh! Does it pop or what!

Nikon D80

Using an Enhancement filter - which is suppose

to enhance reds and oranges...

the sun was dropping behind the mountains,

and this was in the shade, so these were difficult shots to begin with

Ande - Playing with WB settings

2008-10-06T17:48:00.000-07:00

I need to play more with the "white balance" (WB) setting... it could be pretty neat in the right conditions...

Original - Nikon D80

f/18 1/1250 sec ISO-1600

"Cool" setting - Nikon D80

same settings as original except for WB setting

"Warm" setting - Nikon D80

same settings as original except for WB

Ande's Color Trials - Filters

2008-10-06T17:27:00.000-07:00

Ok... first I have to figure out how to post *stuff*...

Original (I think)

Nikon D80

f/8 exposure time: 1/250sec ISO-100 focal length: 62mm

Using an Enhancing Filter on lens

Nikon D80

f/8 1/125sec ISO-100 focal length:66mm

Using a PL-CIR filter

(a "circular polarizing" filter - meaning you can spin the front

of the filter to get the desired "intensity" of color)

f/8 1/160sec ISO-100 80mm

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That last one is my favorite of the three... but I gotta tell ya: that PL-CIR filter can be difficult at times...
