finished editing all the photos from my Mexico trip back in August and I really felt like sharing this little guy

Testing the time lapse function of the Go Pro2

and my time thus did end

as my first entry here, I thought I'd share two of the last sights I beheld in my hometown before making my way back here to Vegas. and with that ended my much needed and much enjoyed vacation

Aiden...Ready for anything

London Eye

Cecropia

All that jazz

Wednesday night I caught a model working with another photographer and adjusting her hat. I was to the side and took the shot looking into a large soft box with just the modeling light on. A quick edit in Photoshop and this is what you get.

In honor of the day

I was having some fun playing with lighting last night.

This is a photo I took awhile ago, I like the contrast in colors and how her body is twisted slightly.

Weird...

Not sure what these beetle things are actually called but I found them interesting especially since these are just the outer skin of the beetle...the actual beetle has left the building leaving it's skin and legs behind! I'm really glad the beetle wasn't actually there because I discovered them while at my soccer game. I was standing about an inch away from this one and didn't even know it! All the trees in the area were covered with these beetle skins, yuck!

Quoth the Raven

Went to Bryce Canyon over the weekend and the ravens were quite the posers.

Seattle Stitch

Finally got around to this.  It is a Photomerge from 3 shots I took while on a ferry back to Seattle. It was right at the peak of the golden hour, so the lighting was perfect.  All I did was brighten it up a little.

Tilt Shift Lens Faked

Tilt shift lens look faked in Photoshop.

Sights in Australia

Dam

I like this photo because the main subject is out of focus which made it more interesting to me. :)

More lensbaby

Lensbaby

A few initial shots with the lensbaby - these are handheld in dim light, so there is some motion blur too. I think I'm going to like this thing - I used it with the old original digital rebel.

Polar Ecosystem Diorama

They dont make 'em like the used to.
