Then to a wedding. I took many great photos at each. I've really been trying harder lately to make sure I bring my camera, and make sure it gets to come out of its bag. I've just been feeling distracted this past year or so, and this has gotten surprisingly difficult. I'm starting to feel now that I could possibly make a profession out of this, but I'm my own biggest critic, and that is really the only thing stopping me. Oh, and a phobia of being poor.
So, the photos I have to share today begin in Oregon. We were at the sea lion caves, and now that I have photoshop instead of just lightroom, I might revisit this one later to re-edit it. But it still gets me pretty excited. Like all my photos, it should be viewed best by clicking on it and expanding it as much as possible to get the full resolution and effect.
The original was dark on the walls and slightly over developed through the center. But I think its quite beautiful now, and makes me think of the whole 'sirens on the rocks' bit. I have since finally figured out how to work the bracketing on my camera, but this would have been a perfect HDR scenario to reclaim information on the walls without sacrificing.
Crater Lake, OR. Once again, not knowing at the time how to work my bracketing, I had a lot of photos where I had to work to balance the over exposure of the sky, or the under exposure of the foreground. This shot was the only one I think I had with no sky, and I have it rotating on my background with a few others, but every time I see this one it gives me that little feeling in my gut. I love it. Crater Lake was amazing though, and I'd recommend anyone go if they have the time, its only a few hours south of Portland.
Redwoods in California. I really liked the labyrinth look the bark has, like vines growing outside the tree. I'll continue this post tomorrow, but I had a nap while this photo was loading and now I'm feeling a little less inspired.
