Yosemite Revisited

A redo of a Yosemite image from the past. I wanted to see if the new Aurora 2017 software would make a difference in some of my older images. I was totally blown away to see how well this software brings out the colors and details. Shot with Canon Powershot SX50 HS. ISO 80, f-8 at 1/15th sec.

Snowman

This black ceramic snowman image was a composite of three images. I used colored gels on a pen light to paint light into various areas on the snowman for two exposures then zoomed the lens to infinity and painted the blue background. All three images were then merged in Photoshop CC. Nikon D3, 24-70mm lens at 70mm. Iso 200, WB 3030, f-16, 25 sec. each.

Our Christmas Tree

Our Christmas tree is up and decorated for the upcoming holiday. Now I just need Santa to drop off that Nikon D5 I've been wishing for and make my day.

Razor Sharp Cutting Tool

Light painting of a ulu on cutting board. A gift from my brother this razor sharp cutting blade is a great kitchen tool. I made 3 exposures at 3 sec. with red, blue and amber colored stream lights and merged the layers in Photoshop CC.

Taking Stock

It's been a month since my last post and now I'm back. I haven't been out much lately to do many landscapes so I decided to maybe get back to work on my stock images. I used Dave Black's light painting technique for this image. A 6 second exposure lit with led streamlight.

Red Rock

There is an interesting phenomena with digital cameras I have noticed. Old school film cameras taught us to keep the sun over your left or right shoulder for good exposures. With digital cameras if you can get your sun at exactly 22.5 degree angle over your shoulder you can achieve a terrific 3D effect with super depth in your image like the one above.
