Today, I was still dragging around but I have a assignment due for the “Designing a Color Image” class. So I wandered around the local shopping center to find something. This is a potato vine growing along the sides of the storefront. I did a lot of dodging and burning to make the composition a little more “readable”.

Tonite in my photo class, we reviewed the images from our first photo class. This one was a class favorite which was a little surprising to me. I should have known when Chip said it was “Pretty cool.” For Chip, that is glowing. This is another image in my growing ‘wet foot’ collection. It seems I cannot make an image lately without getting wet feet.

Today, I had to go digging into the archives. This is a macro of a Lily of Peru blossom. It reminds me of a butterfly flapping its wings.

I think that the Olympics are inspiring me. I retrieved this from the unprocessed folder tonite for a composite but instead liked it by itself. I cropped off the bottom and cloned out an intruding petal. I shot this with my 50mm f/1.4 lens wide open. This does give a lensbaby look but it still autofocuses.

Since I did not feel up to going out, sent Chip to the store for a bouquet. The colors came out of the camera extremely vibrant. I did not boost saturation.

Another from the archives because I have not been up to going out shooting. Hopefully this weekend I will have some fresh images.

This image has been cross processed which popped the blue in the background. The real background for this shot was my LCD monitor that was turned off.

Another looking down on the Calla lily bouquet.

Another shot (pun intended) at taking a nice image of my pink Calla lily bouquet. I was holding the blooms together with one hand and holding the camera with another.
