For your consideration.....
I present to you 2 different versions of the same photo of my beautiful wife. One has very basic exposure and color corrections and nothing else done to it, the other has more contrast and some toning to it but still does not deviate to far from the original. I like them both but definitely am leaning more towards the natural one. What do you guys think? Any opinions and input are welcome. If you follow the blog you may remember that in my last post i vowed to do a lot less post processing on my images. There actually is a reason for this shift, in seeing the work of many different photographers i began to notice one common thread in all their photos. All of them were using color toning or cross processing effects on their photos, many photographers in their quest to become more artsy have jumped on the band wagon and started using color filters or actions on their photos. Like i said be...

There were many challenges a long the way, but I enjoyed being able to overcome them and move forward. During my senior year of High School I joined the yearbook staff at my school and began my journey with photography. My teacher handed me my first SLR camera and taught me how to use it, ever since then I have been shooting non-stop and have enjoyed every minute of it. I continued to learn more and more by reading books, spending time with professional photographers going to workshops and of course spending all of my free time shooting pictures and learning from the things that I had done. I soon discovered that I love to shoot things in nature, whether it’s a beautiful landscape or photographing the unseen world of insects with a macro lens. More than anything I just enjoy shooting pictures of whatever comes in front of the camera in a creative way that I know will make it a unique image. To this day the journey continues, and I look forward to a new day when I can make new images to share with everyone. I currently reside in Vista California with my wife Jennifer.
