Deception Pass Bridge Sunset

Photo taken this evening. Taken from Cornet Bay looking west towards Deception Pass Bridge moments after sunset. 1 second exposure, metered off of the brightest part of the sky. I used a circular polarizer filter mounted to the lens as well as a handheld graduated filter in front of it. ISO 100, aperture at F16. Shot in Canon RAW format and converted to .jpg in photoshop. This is how it looked coming straight out of the camera, the only adjustment I made is to apply some sharpening to the image after reducing it down in size. Camera was a Canon Eos 50D mounted to a tripod using a Canon 70-200mm F4 L lens.

The Chess Player

In this shot I took two separate images of myself playing chess. Also in each different image I used different colored gels in each image. I then combined them into photoshop and blended the images by moving one onto the other, adjusting the opacity and then further painting in the second image to make it solid. It was a lot of work!
