Chief Mountain Panorama, Southern Alberta


5 RAW images shot on tripod, then stitched together with Photoshop's "Photomerge" feature. Works very well - on the (huge) full-size image i can't tell where the seams are.

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.

Chief Mountain, from Southern Alberta

Looks cold & lonely, doesn't it?

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.

Graphic/Colour Mums



Using the "cutout" filter in Photoshop. I kinda likes.

Spider Mum II

Similar but different. Kinda. I like the background interest in this one.

Early Winter, Southern Alberta


Shot in the Pincher Creek area. My brother and I were dumb enough to be fishing in a canoe that day. Never caught anything (i never do). This shot is my only consolation.

Calla Lilies & Spider Mum



Cool name. Cool flower. If you're into that sort of thing.

My Shorties... the latest.



Sonya was trying to give me a "mean" pirate look. i think she nailed the "short bus" pirate look instead. This shot will definitely come up at her wedding.

Ok just one more


I promise.

Hands

Folland-Khatri shots are done. Off to the printer!

Another of Tonight's favorites

Today's Favorite


For whatever reason, the strong blue seems to work best with this image. None of the other versions I've tried seem to have as much punch to them. More to come.

I luvs it


One of my favorite shots of this wedding thus far... that's all. I'm editing fast and furious today. More to come later - there's quite a few I like, if I do say so myself.

Sunday Night Work, Pt. 3 (B&W)






Sunday Night Work, Pt. 2 (Colour)



Sunday Night Work pt.1



Really tried to ramp up the "grain" on these to make them look rough & old, like high-speed film back in the day. The result is more successful in the full-size versions than the down-sized ones unfortunately.

More wedding pix





I've been drowning at work for the last few weeks, but now back in the saddle with wedding pix going fast & furious... i hope!

Some B&W's that i liked. Hopefully they're not too dark on the average monitor... my screen is calibrated with a photospectrometer and i never know how they'll look on other monitors.
