plus we had this little thing called the bar that really got in the way of a photo opp.

how you feeling bud?

not too hot...sinus' feel like somebody set a fire in them....

I sorta over-processed it a little maybe, but I was liking the surreal colors. The scene actually looked a lot like that except the water was bluer and didn't have that yellow-orange glow, the sky did, but not the water. I put the snowy branches in the foreground, because the whole point of the shot was to show that it actually snowed here. I didn't have my flash with me, and I couldn't figure out how to expose the snowy branches without blowing out the sky. I've never tried to combine photos for a high-def look, so i exposed for the sky then photoshopped the branches.

Anyway to answer the question, I shot in raw. Opened in CS3 and adjusted WB to taste, added some fill light, bumped the vibrance a little. I then ran a Kevin Kubota action called digital fill flash to bring the snowy branches out. Next I did a little shadow/highlight adjustment, the converted to SrGB jpeg for the web.

pretty cool, I appreciate the info...i was kinda wondering how the limbs came out that well with the backlighting.... I'll log that away in the memory banks while I play around with CS3 in the next few weeks....it's a big step from Elements, at least for me...

Doesn't look like MS does it?


Ducks on the pond


Having fun pulling the Kayak.... What Kayak?

Good ones, Mike!

We got about an inch. By the time we got out Saturday, half of it was gone. It amounted to pulling the girls across wet clover, hitting the occasional patch of snow, but it was sledding none-the-less.

I managed a few pics in my pj's and slippers cause it didn't stick around long

Very nice...

Shelby~ That is just beautiful.

These were taken around 5:00 Friday after work. The light was fading and the snow was coming down pretty hard. The park is on President's Island in Memphis:









Driving home at about 30mph (I was just holding the camera up and clicking. I never took my eyes off of the road. )

and one of Greta taken on Saturday. By the time we got out most of the snow was gone:

Good stuff!
