Experiments..

I'm feeling a little out of sorts lately. Other then a few photo shoots for some friends, I have been unable to get out and spend some time behind the lens. Winter has been hanging on for what seems like an eternity, and for a lot of other reasons, I seem to have little free time.

That said, I have set a few goals to be able to tie up a lot of small things, take the camera in for a good clean, and hopefully be able to get back out there in time for the nice weather. In the meantime, I thought I would share a few of my 'experiments' with post production altering.

I don't intend on making post manipulation a focus of my work, but from time to time it can be fun to see what you can create with a few added effects...

So enjoy these, and bare with me. I will have some new work as soon as I can!

Snap!

Last week was a tough one. To make a long story short, I got accepted to show in my first ever juried exhibition called Scapes. I had made a blog entry about it earlier in the year, and had had high hopes about getting in. The problem as many of you already know is that my letter of acceptance got emailed to a wrong address and I never found out in time to get my work in the show. I was devastated and a little angry, but it was out of my hands, so I have chosen to move forward......

Tonight I will enter these four shots into a photo competition/auction/charity event called SNAP! I entered four last year as well, but did not make the cut. This event has alot of publicity and is held at the National Ballet School, and is a huge AIDS charity event. I may not make the cut again, but the submission fees will all go to a good cause so it is a win, win situation.

These photos are a first for me in that they have added effects done in post editing. They are all flower pictures taken the other day at Allan Gardens.

Wish me luck....
