Yosemite #16

Earlier this week, I attended a planning meeting for PhotoCenetral Color.  The curator of the show is Monte Hartman.  I took a class winter with Monte and value his input and teachings.  I struggled over what prints to bring.  So, I just procrastinated and had a lot of prints from teaching HDR techniques from Yosemite.  To my surprise, these prints were a hit.  After looking at Yosemite #2, Monte suggested a vertical crop putting more emphasis on the leftmost tree.  I went into the archives and found a panoramic HDR shot that I never processed.  I put it together and this is the result.  Per Monte, I could crop it to a vertical 3 by 2 format but liked this square composition.

Dancing #12

Ok, I know that I said I was switching directions in my Dancing assigment away from focus-optional. But, I forgot this one. So back to blurry for one more image.

Dancing #11

Continuing with my Dancing assignment at the Patterson-Gallant workshop, I took to heart the comment that focus-optional would be cheating, eh. So, I decided to broaden my definition of dancing again. This is taken at the quarry’s log pile. There were several huge birch logs and their bark was gorgeous.

Dancing #10

This is the last of my flowers for my dancing assignment of the Freeman-Gallant workshop. I mentioned at breakfast that I was doing focus optional shots and one member said “That would be cheating, eh?”. So, I switched directions. Stay tuned…

This is another from my dancing series. As my time runs out for finishing, I started to take a more liberal view of dancing. I looked for rythmic, graceful shots that showed some sort of movement.

Dancing #6

More from the Dancing series. I am still in the gravel quarry. It is now after sundown and raining.

Dancing #5

Anothere from the Dancing series. This has a color shift when I converted to sRGB for the web.
