I feel like I'm all over the place lately. My pictures show it. Starting out as HDR (3 stops apart, -2, 0, +2), I played with curves, hue/saturation in PSE7 until I just didn't like it anymore. I used Picnik to add Cross and finally s...

I took the original photo and cropped and enlarged. It was a bit soft so I sharpened via Picnik to improve clarity. I can't wait to get a macro lens for true up close shots!

I've always wanted to do a shot like this, secretly envious every time I came accross a long exposure shot of traffic. I can't wait to try again, maybe next time in a more dimly lit section of freeway. Shot through a wire fence from a ...

The 10 second exposure settled on pink and blue, however the lights from these two rooms at the Luhrs Tower were actually cycling through many different colors. (Very unusual, since the building is typically dark and has little to no activity aft...

Originally I did not like this photo because I did not achieve the focus I was hoping for, so experimenting with textures I found on Telzey's photostream gave me an opportunity to create something I still enjoyed. Stop by Telzey's <a...

My obsession with the Westward Ho continues... I purchased Photomatix and Photoshop Elements (finally!), so no doubt more HDR to come. <a href="http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/onblack.php?id=3597721719&amp;size=large" rel="no...

Taking a break from long descriptions. :P I zoomed out during a 3 second exposure to create the effect: a little HDR, a little color manipulation and I called it a day. Thanks for all your <b>comments and feedback</b>! <a href=&q...
