Three-shot HDR This pulls the rich blues from the sky but also the detail of the barn in the foreground.   The detail in the windows is amazing. The sky has a wonderful gradient, and the detail in the building are still very strong.   It did a great job aligning the pictures and pulling the important colors. The woods reds are present and strong, and the blue reflection in the window is still very much present. It is amazing...

A few of my favorite shots from the photo shoot. I wanted to take a picture of this wagon that wouldn’t be like all the other pictures my group was taking. I placed the handle on the left third to keep it interesting and get some of the sky on the right side of the picture. There is a story behind this wheel. I imagine that it was already a pretty bad day, and then the wheel of the families wagon breaks. They put it in the back...

Blurred motion Everyone in my ground was getting this same merry-go-round. I thought I would come at it from a different angle so that I could see the fence as well. Since the shot needed the shutter to stay open the fence came in very bright. I decreased the lighting on the picture so that the fence did not take away too much from the merry-go-round itself.   With a long enough shutter speed, the subject can stay in one place...

Textures I was trying to figure out how to get the window as a texture, it had some cool ripples and bubbles. I just took a picture and let the reflection tell the story of how the glass had warped. I did not crop this image, but I did add some saturation and vibrance. I also added some warmer tones to it.   There were some cool wood buildings. This specific building had the coolest wood of all of them. I kept the main knot out...

Here is me dabbling in portraits again… Reflector This model had a reflector on her left side reflecting the light. It was much needed where I did the sun rays. With the sun directly in my picture it would have washed out the models face without some light being redirected towards her face. In this shot I added a warmer temperature scheme and increased the tint. This made the day look warmer and the dress to still look white,...
