We have been really busy shooting adventure & outdoor lifestyle images lately. While we have been doing our share of complaining about the strange weather we have been having this year, it has been better than normal for photography.
By this time of the year, the landscape in this area is usually brown. But, as you can see in this photo I captured over Memorial Day Weekend, it is still very green. There are also still a lot of wildflowers in the Sierra Foothills, as compared to a normal year.
The photo above of our friends Steve & Peg is one of many new photos we captured on a beautiful Spring day in the Sierra Foothills.

I chose to feature this photo in my "Wednesday's WOW" post for a couple of reasons.
First of all, I really like it and secondly the annual Western States 100 Endurance Run is coming up June 27-28. If you have never heard of this race, it is a 100-mile foot race which starts in Squaw Valley, California and winds up in Auburn, California 100-miles later. The participants of this race will cross No Hands Bridge minutes before reaching the finish line at Placer High School. NOTE: This bridge is in both El Dorado and Placer counties.

Sometimes I have a hard time tossing out a photo just because it's out of focus. This photo is one of those photos. What I like to do when this happens is to apply my favorite artistic filter in PhotoShop CS3 "Poster Edges."
Photo # 1 - In Lightroom 2, I set the White Balance to daylight and applied the Nikon D300 preset. Then, in PhotoShop CS3, I turned this out of focus photo into a digital art photo, by applying the "Poster Edges" filter.
Photo #2 - This is the way the NEF looked straight out of the camera.
Does this work for you? I'd love to hear your comments.

This week is the week for starting new things. On Monday, I started "Monday Makeover." Today, I am starting something else new and exciting. I am going to post a photo that makes me say "WOW." But, that's not all. I'm going to tell you why I think it qualifies as a WOW photo.
5 reasons why this photo makes me say WOW!
Feeling or emotion - The first thing I get when I look at this photo is a feeling. While I can't actually say I know what it feels like to take off like this guy is doing, I can feel it in the photo.
Composition - I love the composition. The elements in the photo are well balanced and are very pleasing to the eye.
Color - The color really pops in this photo. I did use the Nikon D300 preset for Lightroom, to add a little punch to the color.
Lighting - Even though this photo was taken in April at 1:40 in the afternoon, the lighting works for me. The way the wing is illuminated by the sun really catches my eye.
Timing - The fact that this was shot during take off makes it a really strong image too. These guys don't always get enough lift to get off the ground.
Don't go away just yet. I am also going to recommend that you look at this WOW photo by Kathleen Connally. If you would like to suggest a particular photo to be included in an upcoming Wednesday's WOW post, please send me an email @sherri@sherrimeyer.com.
NOTE: The idea for "Makeover Monday" and "WOW Wednesay" were both inspired by junk email or snail mail I have saved. I knew they would come in handy for something someday!
