Better Days

(...I think this truck has seen). Makes for a great study though.

Nikon D80, AF-S Nikkor 80-200mm 1:2.8 D. (@200mm, f/2.8). DJR Orton effect (Photoshop action) to bring out the colors.

Stylemaster

This is one of my favorites of my dad's old cars. The paint has this crazy texture which i haven't really seen before.

update: photos reloaded with an orton effect photoshop action that i like better.

Private

Eldorado Canyon, Nelson, Nevada

Details

Outside the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Las Vegas.

This image looks really cool when I add a Hue/Saturation layer and move the hue control around. Makes some really neat color combinations.

More from Nelson, Nevada

These are called the "jumping cactus". Yep. They're that pokey.






Somehow these all seem like they should be in sepia. So they are.

Nelson, Nevada

More from Eldorado Canyon. I love that place! Many more to come, as i can steal moments....

Color overload

I've been fascinated with old machinery and blue glass since I was a child. I can still clearly remember a crate of glass bottles similar to this that sparkled in the sun, forgotten amongst carcasses of old machinery and stacks of junk behind my dad's shop in central British Columbia. It was a treasure trove for a young boy.

Gold mine.

In case you're wondering...

Siding &Tritone

I've found my favorite B&W tritone is one through an action called "Burgundy Gold" by The Light's Right Studio. Head on over for a whole bunch of great free actions. I add an inner glow (black, 150px, 3%noise, color burn) for a simple edged effect.

Vintage Toy Duck (2 versions)

This one is with my own action - a quad tone sepia action with edge effects (inner glow, black, 100 pixels, color burn).

This one is with a "vintage" action i found on Adobe's Photoshop Exchange.

Personally, i think mr. duck is a little creepy.

Some Roses... and Cheese!

Think I like the long, tall crop better...




Again, the narrow crop seems nicer. And what could be cheesier than a picture of a rose on a piano? Methinks nothing... nothing at all. In fact I think I can smell the cheese through my monitor.

A few more of the same... flowers, that is.
