Farmer’s Market is still a cornucopia of colors and textures though I must say the farmers are getting a little snarky about photographers. So I may just pack it in and find somewhere else to shoot. Did the usual post processing on this one. Then back in Photoshop I had to do some burning to… Continue reading Day 81 – Colorful Peppers

Day 80 – Rogue River Bridge with Pilings
I’m back to combing through the archives. This one is from my trip to the coast back in July. I think it is about time to go again. I did the usual post processing.
Day 79 – Pinecone
Still playing around with nature closeups. This one I could see in my minds eye as really faded out so I turned to Topaz Black and White effects and selected the tea green falloff preset. Then added a border. There are so many ways to go with these it is fun and exciting and gets… Continue reading Day 79 – Pinecone
Day 78 – Oak Leaf
I’m getting into the idea of botanicals. This one came about as I was looking for a good blending mode for a texture. I wasn’t trying for an off color result but I liked it so much I decided to go with it.
Day 77 – Fruit
I was walking through the kitchen yesterday when I noticed my Mom had organized some pears and apples in a bowl making a colorful display. Of course I had to run for my camera. I did the usual post processing but it seemed a little harsh so I took it into Topaz Simplify to soften… Continue reading Day 77 – Fruit
Day 76 – Maple Leaf

I started by adding a texture, which helped, but it still wasn’t really integrated. So I thought I would try it in Topaz Simplify. This was the result using a… Continue reading Day 76 – Maple Leaf
Day 75 – County Fair
Here’s one from back in July that I overlooked from the carnival at the county fair. Just a little detail, saturation and warmth on this one. Plus a center highlight and a border.
Day 74 – Architectural Abstract
I used to beat myself up for not getting out to shoot every day but I am finding that sometimes I am at my most creative when I have to sift through what I have already shot to find something new. This one is an outtake from a building in downtown Ashland. I have processed… Continue reading Day 74 – Architectural Abstract
Day 73 – Apple
Some of the Apple trees in my parents garden are older than me. But they just keep on producing. This one got about the usual post processing but there was also a texture involved.
Day 72 – Sunflower Grunge
I found myself in the sunflower patch again yesterday but I wanted to get a little creative for a different kind of look. So let’s see if I can remember what I did. First I took it into Color Efex Pro and added a detail extractor, a bleach bypass and a darken/lighten center filter. Then… Continue reading Day 72 – Sunflower Grunge
