Backlit Graffiti Seven

Another fantastic shot tonight. I am catching on about how to use the split toning to adjust the background light or the shadowed areas of the photo to make it pop. Here is the photo as taken.


And here is the finished product after bumping the exposure a bit, recovering and clarifying, giving the background center light a blue tinge with split toning and brightening the corners with some positive lens vignetting.

Backlit Graffiti Pt 6

This is by far one of my favorites in the graffiti series. Blunt lines and bright colors. Perfect.

Layered Snow Drift On A Rooftop


This is a shot of a small snow drift on the roof of the neighbor's garage. A nice gritty black and white photo.

Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal & Coconut Cookies

We made a batch of these for a friend of ours recently and they were so good we have already made a couple of batches for dinner parties and meetings. The best cookie ever.

Dead Christmas Basket

I was walking down the street and noticed this sitting on someones porch. it didn't quite turn out as vibrant as I wanted because there was not enough contrast between the colors of the cones and boughs and the brick wall in the background. Live and learn.
