Faux Scale Model Portlandia
I was fortunate enough to be working in an office building downtown that was being renovated, on my last day there, I brought my camera with me to get a different perspective of Portlandia that most folks don't get to see. I also played with the photoshop filters to create this fake scale model look.
Another photo from last weeks anti-war rally
(Click on image to enlarge)Yet another shot from last weeks anti-war rally. I was going through the images I had taken and I noticed that the sign being carried by the guy in the sunglasses reads, "how many will die for your gastank?". I thought that the sign, combined with the Porsche in the foreground (not exactly the most fuel-efficient vehicle) made an interesting image.
Photos from todays anti-war rally
Heres a few shots from todays anti-war rally in downtown Portland today. More to come in the next few days.
Salmon at SW 9th and Salmon
Took this shot today at sw 9th and Salmon, dowtown. Today was a real overcast day and light was horrible for taking photos. However I did run into this sculpture on the side of a building that I liked, so here it is.
Fake Tilt-Shift Images Using Photoshop
Heres an old image of Crown Point I took a while back. I recently read a tutorial about how to make some images look like they were scale models instead of actual places. The technique I read about is supposed to simulate an expensive tilt/shift lens using photoshop filters instead. I don't know how effective it is, but I'm having fun experimenting with it. What do you think? Did I turn Crown Point into a scale model or does it just look blurry to you?
Bridal Veil Falls Dreamland
I'm addicted to the process of making faux infrared film images. I'm pretty happy with this one.
Multnomah #2
Another reworked image. I was really at a disadvantage by the time I got to Multnomah Falls, I realized I was running out of room on my 1 gigabyte memory card so I switch from recording my images from RAW/JPG to just JPG. While I was able to take more exposures by not recording them in RAW format, I also limited myself with what I was able to do in post-processing. So all my Multnomah Falls images are in JPG only. Fortunately I was able to clean them up in Photoshop so they looked pretty good.
Wahkeenah Falls Reworked
A rework of my Wahkeenah Falls image. I used the magic wand tool to select the green area around the falls as well as the log and increase their exposure by +1 and +2 respectively. I also bumped up the green color levels a smidge. I also used the 'curves' and the 'color sampling' function to help me get accurate color correction for this image. Enjoy!
Latourelle Falls
Latourelle Falls. It was about 25 degrees when I took this photo. With the wind chill factored in, the temp was probably closer to 10-15 degrees. Brrrr!
Multnomah Falls on Ice
Heres a shot of Multnomah Falls from earlier today. As you can see our recent cold temperatures have allowed for the formation of a nice layer of ice around the falls. I spent a good part of my day today hiking up to Latourelle, Bridel Veil, Wahkeena, Multnomah and Horsetail Falls. All of them iced over! More pics to come.
