fall pics... SOOC

I intend to edit them.... later....someday :)

Editing practice

Before (SOOC "straight out of camera"):

AFTER:

I liked the cropping and the effect of the higher contrast on her eyes.
Is it too edgy? Maybe. I'm still considering.

Watercolors

A couple old favorites: Pre-DSLR

Alki Beach

I can't take it anymore. This poor blog NEEDS to be updated.
Here's a few favorite shots of my favorite people, playing at my favorite place - the beach.

Carnival Rides

It's not perfect, but still... what a shot!

It was fun to get Lydia in focus while the ride twirled around.

Waterfall

I wanted to experiment with shutterspeed on this little waterfall, golfing in Leavenworth. The leaves are over-exposed. Hmmm... how do you NOT overexpose the greenery and still keep the lens open long enough for the blurry effect on the water? Is it all in the PSE work after?

Sunday Walk

This was my favorite, at the very end of the our walk on the trail by our house.

too bad there was chocolate on her face. I love those serious eyes.
