Yosemite-Photo Friday

img_7399-editI am headed to Yosemite in a October to learn from Keith Walklett and Mike Osborne. Thought I would take a look at the images I got the 1st time. This one is a favorite. Think I will also use in a collaborative piece I am working on for the 1st Thursday show with Jerry Hendershot. The water and texture of this one should work well/

Red sky at night

web-img_9421-full-edit-edit Taken Tuesday July 10th, a sleepy Snake river slowly flows below the Guffey Bridge at Celebration Park. As the sun sets the smokey landscape erupts in red, umbers, and a subtle undertone of blue. With wild fires throughout Idaho's high desert, I drove from Boise looking for a place that would reflect the mood of a smoke fill sunset. Think I got it!

Technically this is a very straight image. Slight tweaking in Photoshop, including a vignette and a minor color shift to reflect the actual redness of the sky. Also nudged out the powerlines.

Chicken Jim's-Photo Friday

The clouds have been glorious this early summer. Wednesday afternoon found me standing in the road looking at "Rudy" the retro plastic Chicken above Jim's cafe on Hays. Across from the Co-op, not the coop. Taken with my telephoto to bring up he clouds and then placed 4-up and printed on galvanized steel using the Metaluxia™ process.

Jump Creek-Photo Friday

jump-web-img_9086-edit1 The creek that creates Jump Creek Falls, rolls into a tight canyon that reminds me Moab. Taken a couple of weeks ago, the glory of a Owyhee canyon lands shows.

The tech stuff, a couple of Topaz filter tweeks, some shading and a tablet applied PhotoShop Pixel Bender layer. Oh, and a little dodging in the shadows deep in the canyon.

May try this one as a trypdytch.
