Playing in Photoshop

So here are three photo's I was playing with. They is nothing spectacular about them but I like the effect some different blurring and blend modes have on them. I would tell you exactly what I did but to be honest I've forgotten... should have created an action at the time. I know it invovles an "overlay" blend mode at any rate. The last photo is not so "Shopped" but is more a comparison shot for the second photo. The last one is warmed up something fierce.

Ducks for Lunch

So you might be thinking that I had duck for lunch... maybe with a nice orange sauce. But no that's not the case. I had spent my lunch our at the beach shooting (with my Nikon) various subjects. These aren't technically the best photo's but I liked them enough to share. The light was terrible (harsh being the middle of the day) with hard reflection off the lake (I live and work near a lake nice!!). Was shooting on Manual I think about 1.5 stops overexposed from what my meter (matrix) was telling me. It's amazing how different the water looks all because of the difference in angle from the sun. Happy shooting.
