Vincent Van Gogh on Acid


  I find beauty in water reflections. These are of my condo complex at dawn.

Melding via Photoshop


  Here is an example of melding. For the movie "Wild Things" the camera panned up from feet to face. The full body shot never existed on film. Using 4 images from the camera panning... the full body shot was created via melding. Note the 4 separate images used to create the final meld. By overlapping the separate images and blending the "flaws" of wrinkles and whatnot together...the result is a full body shot. Coolness!

Taking Bad Exposures on Purpose

  Something I learned in my previous occupation is that the best photo to manipulate is one without strong highlights or shadows. Inside a washed-out image are the ingredients of range needed for a dynamic shot. See the attached before_after image as an example.

Having a Wingman would Help

 As I don't use a tripod in nature photography, it would be nice to have a companion with me to "startle the bird" while I was adjusting focus. :)

Fun with Photoshop

  Anything can seem to be genuine if presented in an acceptable format.

Ibis humor

When I edited my photos this day I saw an opportunity to use this particular shot as a format for some singing humor.
