Paper Bloom
Nikon D40 - 9/5/2010 - f-5.6 - 1/320 sec - ISO 200 - 82mm eqv.
This is one of my favorite photo edits in the lo/no color styles, because of the crispness of the image, and the clarity.
Candy Coated Flower
Nikon D40 - 5/9/2012 - f-5.6 - 1/500 sec - ISO 200 - 82mm eqv.
A brilliant flower captured at a Treefrogs Greenhouse in Chetek WI. All of the images on their website are by myself, as is the website itself. This is one of the better flower shots I have to date, and the colors are almost the same as they came straight from the camera.
Stormy Skies
Nikon D40 - 8/16/2011 - f-5.6 - 1/125 sec - ISO 560 - 82mm eqv.
A rather impressive bank of clouds lit by a setting sun. This was a fairly powerful storm, but a very small and fast moving one.
Radioactive?
Nikon D40 - 2/14/2012 - f-5 - 1/400 sec - ISO 800 - 51mm eqv.
This image was taken on a beach during sunset, giving the rocks the beautiful glowing colors. The sun had heated the rocks slightly, melting the ice away from them and giving the silvery effect of the ice.
Freezing Time
Nikon D40 - 12/16/2011 - f-20 - 10 sec - ISO 200 - 27mm eqv.
This is a long exposure of one waterfall in Amnicon Falls State Park WI. This was in the evening, which allowed a higher shutter speed. The waterfall was still in the process on freezing, thus the cakes of ice under the falls (mostly blurred, with a few clear ones along the left side).
Reflecting on Fall
Cannon PowerShot A540 - 9/16/2012 - f-3.2 - 1/800 sec - ISO Unknown - Unknown focal length - 9 exposures.
This is a panorama stitched out of 9 photos using Hugin. The colors were white balanced afterward in GIMP. I really like the crisp reflections, and the clouds in the western sky(to the left of the picture).
A Steaming Punk
Nikon L100 - 4/2/2011 - f-3.7 - 1/94 sec - ISO 80 - 36mm eqv.
This was a really fun photo to take and edit. The shell on the persons head is the housing of an old Johnson outboard motor.
The editing was a little different, and I have thus generated two different versions. I first processed the colors to be more realistic, have better contrast, and fill the entire dynamic range. I then sharpened the picture. After that I was working on multiple layers, with filters built into GIMP. Both versions use the same layers, just in a different mix of modes and opacities.
Please view these at full size and let me know what you think, and which you think is better.
Winter Night
Nikon D40 - 1/27/2012 - f-10 - 30 sec - ISO 200 - 45mm eqv.
This photo was taken after dark of a river flowing into Lake Superior. The unified colors are what came out of the camera, and part of what drew me to the picture. The only editing was using the value curve to broaden the contrast.
Orange Matrix
Nikon D40 - 4/2/2011 - f-7.1 - 1/4000 sec - ISO 200 - 82mm eqv.
This is one of the photos that I took the most time to set up. It is a photo of empty honeycomb backlit by the sun. It took significant time to get the focus and DOF close to what I wanted.
Liquid Sky
Canon PowerShot A540 - 5/18/2010 - f/5.0 - 1/160 sec - ISO ? - 18.4mm eqv.
This image was taken on a point and shoot Canon camera. It turned out surprisingly well for the camera, and the rich colors caught my attention. This is from the earlier days of my artistic photography, before I owned a camera of my own.
