Into the Unknown

Decided to take this engagement couple into the world of the unknown. They will be facing many things together as they stand by each others side protecting each other. Looking down the road no one knows the future, however it's always easier as someone stands by your side.

Before Spring

Trees make great subjects for graphical expressions, especially during the winter. This piece is titled "Before Spring"

Paintings made easy in Photoshop

I learned a little while ago you can use Photoshop to create some spectacular painting effects. If you use the texture tool and applying a burlap map and layer the craquelure and a glass effect you can have some pretty cool results. I also added pixel bender oil painting effect to this image also. 

Caesars July 4th, 2013

My wife and I managed a trip to Las Vegas on July 4th. After standing in front of Caesars Palace for 4 hours I managed to capture what I couldn't the previous 2 years. This image is a composite of 5 images using HDR photographic techniques. The exposure of Caesars with the lights was captured before the fireworks display. Four other images added to complete this awesome display of pyrotechnics.

California Adventure

I stumbled across this image I took a few years back on my first Nikon D100 digital camera. Amazing how things change over the years including California Adventure at Disneyland. You will never see this perspective at the park again.

The Photo Argus

Found a great website that has all sorts of photographic information. It's called The Photo Argus. Check it out and see if this jars a few creative ideas.
