Light in the Storm

A little burst of light before the storm from Lake Erie starts barreling into town.

Three Color Variations on Tiles from the Floor of a Deli

Photography starts in the camera but is brought to life in the digital darkroom. In this case, it's Adobe Lightroom. Here a simple exercise of taking an artifact (tile floor) and working out some color variations. Why? Because we can!

Here is what the floor looks like with normal enhancement.

Next is what is called the "300" look which is desaturation of all but one color.

This variation goes after a "negative" look, in other words reversing the lights and darks similar to a b&w negative (but with color).

Finally, let's freak out the colors a bit by split toning or separating the colors.

The image was made with the Canon Powershot G9, another incredible camera.

Here's the dirt on the exposure:

200 ISO
25mm
1/5sec. @ f4.0

Amish Farms in Ohio

Amish farms nearly always appear well-maintained. Here's a few scenes in nearby Geauga County. Enjoy!

Scarlet and Grey

This image came out pretty good. Grey is the toughest color to image. No doubt some of you may wonder where the grey is in the picture. That means your monitor is calibrated differently than mine. Whatever the colors I love the swirls in the background.

Let me tell ya, at f2.0 the LensBaby is a bear to focus! To get this image I stood on a rickety picnic table and the wind was blowing the leaves.

More leaves - I can't stop

Only another week and one of the best falls for photography will be over. Then I'll stop this craziness with leaf images.

This image was captured on Fields Rd. in Bainbridge Township, OH.

Soon it will be barren and desolate as winter sets in across Northeast Ohio. Anyone willing to pay for me to take a trip to someplace exciting? Tuscany? Morocco? Cabo?

Leaves and camera

*** CLICK ON ANY IMAGE TO ENLARGE ***

Why do fall leaves and digital cameras go so well together? Take a look!

This grove of trees were so spectacular I almost parked in the middle of the road to shoot them. The sky looks great and with my handy polarizer filter the blue sky looks glorious.

A nice contrast of a barren tree in the foreground against a beautiful tree in the background.

Sunset on Lake LaDue

I just love playing with the colors on sunset images.
