Photo – Abstract Aspen grove, near Bridgeport, CA
This abstract was created from the same original photograph of the Aspen grove I have been featuring over the last few weeks. I used the Spherize Distorting Filter in PhotoShop to get this effect. This doesn’t work well on all subjects, but with a little experimenting, you will find what works best.
Happy experimenting!

Although fall has pretty much done it’s thing, I’ve decided that I’m not done creating fall images! Here is a very abstract version of an Aspen grove photo I featured a few weeks back.
Photo -Â “Etheral Webs”
This is one of the first photos I took with my DSLR camera. I was hiking along the middle fork of the American River one fall day, when I came upon this most unusual nature scene. The spider webs were backlit and covered with dew, which gave them a very etheral look. That really caught my eye. The people I was hiking with never even noticed them, but they weren’t hunting for photo ops either!
This photo will be one of many new nature scenes available very soon as a fine art print. We are currently working on a Holiday 2007 Print Gallery, that should be finished within a couple of weeks.Â

I’m not a wildlife photographer per se, but when an opportunity presents itself like it did here, I’d be a fool not to try to capture it.

Last week, I posted the photo above and had viewers guess how it was created. Thank you, Richard Wong, for your participation in the guessing game. Thanks also to all of you that studied it, but decided not to participate.
Here is how it was shot
It had been raining for several hours. After it stopped, I went out to the deck to dump the water out of the chairs. You know, the really popular outdoor folding chairs almost everyone has? Fortunately, I looked at the puddle that had collected in the chair before dumping it. Floating in the puddle were these beautiful Oak leaves and the lighting was just right. I went and got my camera and took a series of shots before dumping the chair. Â
This is how it was processed in PhotoShopÂ
Step 1 – Image Adjustment
Step 2 – Selected Hue/Saturation
Step 3 - In edit, changed the setting from master to blue.Â
Step 4 – Gave it a +70 in saturation.Â
Step 5 – Selected Filters
Step 6 – Selected Poster Edges
Now that the cat is out of the bag, how many of you had it right all along?
Photo – “Pumpkin and Petunias” in Nevada City, CA
This fall decoration really caught my eye and I love it for two reasons. It’s simple. It’s also unique. The unique combination of the Pumpkin and the Petunias is quite a contrast. One way to add impact to a photograph, is by including contrasting subjects in the composition. Â
