2010 - Random things I've done this year

Creative Photography

Here's another entry for Roger's contest over at Creative Photography. I was having problems with his site, but all bugs are fixed now and I now can enjoy everybody's photos. This picture was taken by a good friend of mine. It was taken in the Boise National Forest near Silver Creek Plunge in Garden Valley, Idaho. I love the contrasts of the white rapids and the dark rocks. No editing here. All Mother Nature.

Here's another entry for Roger's Creative Phototgrapy contest.


It's a picture of the top of the lava tube otherwise know as Kuna Caves (see post below). I edited it using Photoshop, but don't remember which filter I used. I just liked the colors (and it matches my current blog colors). This is the original.

What you lookin' at?

Here's another submission to Roger's Creative Photography contest. I took this using the super macro option on my camera. It's kind of cool how the subject is in focus and the rest is a blur. Didn't even have to edit it. Click on the photo to see a larger view. Alternate views here, here, here, and here. I never plan on winning. I'm just in it for the fun and getting to see other photos and reading peoples comments. Thanks and good luck to all other entrants.

Reflections

Here's yet another entry for Roger's contest over at Creative Photography.


After watering the lawn this morning, I decided to play with the camera a little. I noticed the water droplets on the Trumpeters vine and the reflection of the neighbor's tree in the droplets. What a cool shot! I edited it with Photoshop using the omni effect in the filter options. It highlighted the droplet just enough to enhance the image and make it look like it's glowing from within. You can check out the original here and the enlarged image here. Good luck to all the other contestants!

Creative Photography

While cooking Chicken Fajitas for dinner the other morning(I work the graveyard shift), I was noticing how beautiful the colors blended together. I usually take pictures of nature outside, but thought, what the heck. Nature created this, too. So, I've decided to intertwine my creative talents in the kitchen and behind the lens. No photoshop here, just Mother Nature and myself in harmony. BTW, the fajitas were awesome!!! I made enough to feed me for 3 days. They were equally good, each and every day. YUM!

Roger over at Idaho Photo is starting a weekly photo contest called Creative Photography. Since I love to take pictures of anything and everything, thought I'd submit a photo. These were taken yesterday. Notice the bright blue sky. Not a cloud in sight. It was a beautiful day!
