HIGHLIGHTS

I have been seeing this done in a lot of places lately. (Highlighting a section of a photograph creatively) Today while I was out I came across this shot, I vaguely remember something about no need for a model release when it's in a public place, well, I am probably stretching the limit, but it was at the farmers market, at the public fountain, and I just couldn't resist playing with this photo. My only regret is that I didn't go up and introduce myself and offer them a card so they could see this shot and I could give them a copy.... It's not like I am selling it or using it as a stock photo or anything, anyway, I came up with this... What do ya'll think?

NEW CARD

Here's a new business card I did up today...

FUN WITH PETE

This horse's name is Pete... I just had fun playing today with a couple of images I have of him, nothing I would try to sell, I was challenging myself to think "outside the box". Well, I think I went outside with the double image one, not sure it's the effect I was hoping for, but if you don't try, you don't (eventually) succeed! I keep looking for something new, that no one is doing right now, well with the digital era upon us, I don't think that's entirely possible now! Here's a few ways to go.... DON'T FORGET THAT YOU CAN CLICK ON EACH IMAGE TO GET A LARGER VIEW :)

Here's the unedited version, note the horrid background, berry bushes were the only thing at this location that were even half way useable, tape and wire fences, barns, houses, roads, vehicles, you name it....

An extraction on black, pretty flat if you ask me, but a lot of ppl love this look. I think it's way to fake here.

So this is double duty, an extraction on top of the original, with a filter and an edge added, pretty busy, but it could be refined..... It would be fun to do for a stallion add with is get...

Going for an old fashion quarter horse type thing here..... sepia with bright extraction over it, I could see this working if I had several images to play with and adding some text.... I reversed the image of Pete, just for a change. I would shoot both sides of the horse if this was for a real client...

DREAMSCAPE

So here's a little something I have been playing with, I wanted it to be a bit surreal, without going over the top to far, a bit like a nice dream, not to far out, but not normal either, a bit hard edged, saturated, and fun, What do you think?

Here's a second version, just a few changes...
