Poppy Goes…

This is form some seeds that my brother Thor gave me. We must have had a thousand of these asian poppies blooming this past spring. I shot this with 3 exposures -2ev 0 and +2ev. Processed in Photoshop CS5.

A Rose By Any Other Name

This was taken in our front yard at the end of spring 2010. I had just installed Photoshop CS5 and processed this using the new HDR tools.

Downtown Rush Hour

I was standing on the bridge in Downtown Los Angeles at 5th and Figueroa just after sunrise. This is a composite of three bracketed images that I processed in Photomatics. Though not perfect (I’m still learning to learn photography), I thought it came out well.

Nextdoor Sunset

Shot across the street of my neighbors house around sunset time. I didn’t do much with the colors, just cropped and darkened it a bit. It was too bad that the car was parked in front of the house else it would have been a much better photo.

Ventura Power Station

While on vacation in Ventura Ca. in 09′ I wen’t on a bit of an excursion one night. About a mile or two from where we were staying was this power plant right next to the coast. I must have snapped 200 shots using different settings and whatnot. This was the result of 3 images merged and the colors tweaked a bit.
