New Self Portrait
A new self-portrait, I used filters to create a gritty look, (yes I do wash my face) not sure how I like it. Took this photo at the end of a difficult day, I thought I might be able to capture how tired I felt.Crater Lake March 9th 2008
Click to view full sizeWent to Crater Lake today, this is a panoramic image that I shot, 15 feet higher than where I would usually shoot this during the summer. Thats right, there was about 15 feet of snow there. The new visitors center, the 3 story structure? Had snow up to the roof. I could've walked to the roof. Amazing. Also quite beautiful. More images to come.
CPR CLASS
Image taken with my Motorola Razor cell phone at the end of my CPR class tonight. ARGH! Wish I had my Canon with me. Still, I loved the surreal nature of the photo as well as the composition.
Last Years Fireworks at Pilot Butte
Composite image from 4 separate exposures. I worked out of a tutorial in the January/February issue of Photoshop User magazine. I was really pleased with the results!
Same Image, but different
I approached this image again, but this time I used the filter vertically instead of horizontally, I think it works a little better.Another Fake Tilt - Shift Image: Walt and Mickey at Disneyland
Another fun image using the techniques found at this site.Make sure you click on the image to get a better view!
Taste Pilots Grill - Disneyland California Adventure
Normally I try to stay away from photos of other peoples sculpture and artwork, but I just love the front of "Taste Pilots Grill" at Disneyland's California Adventure. Being a complete aviation geek, I was thrilled to see a life sized copy of Chuck Yeagers Bell X-1 aircraft that he broke the sound barrier in. All the details are there, from the "Glamorous Glennis" painted on the side of the plane (in honor of Mr. Yeager's wife), to the orange paint scheme and the rivets on the fuselage. Cool! I also love the way they have it bursting from the building and pointed to the wild blue yonder. I keep thinking about the vacation I took with my family there back in October and I got to say, it was the best vacation I've ever had. If you go to Disneyland I highly recommend going to check out California Adventure as well.
Steins Pillar near Prineville, Oregon
This is Steins Pillar near Prineville, Oregon. Named after the explorer Enoch Steen (pronounced 'stein'). The landmark was misspelled for so many years that the incorrect spelling actually became the official name. It surprises me how similar it is to Monkey Face at Smith Rock State Park. I used HDR technique for this image. We had arrived there fairly late in the day with the sun almost directly above and to the west of the pillar. I opted to take about a dozen exposures and combine them into one so that I may retain detail in the image.
Corrosion
A departure for me from my usual subjects, this is the corroded surface of some type of old iron pipe. Thought it made a good abstract subject.
