Unreal lobby...

Used a truly digital camera for these...

Windows...

Interesting windows...

Parking garage pics...

Some pics from the top of a Parking garage in Scottsdale.

Stonewall

Back of an apartment building...

Going Small

Went small.... feels more comfortable.

Ready for Easter

Morning Light in Superior

Morning light on the mountains east of Superior.

Wheee!

To me, this picture just goes "wheeee"!

Shiny Tunnel

Scary House

House on the corner.

End of the Road

Actually, the picture was taken from a traffic circle.

Texture experiments

Some textures experiments...

HDR Resort

Road to the Westin Resort at Kierland.

Road to South Mountain

7th Street from about Dunlap to South Mountain. It was windy on the hill so it came out a little blurry.

Butterfly

Rembrandt

Morning Ritual

First thing every morning, do the dishes...

Making dough the old fashioned way.

Love my mixer...

Lowe's

Thought the colors on these flowers were cool. Didn't make any adjustment to the picture other than prepping it for the web.

Just because...

I meant to take a picture of the setup, but the lights and other stuff didn't really show up. I like the way the picture came out.

Stretch break

Stretching during a break.

Needs a caption...

Pick a caption, anyone?

HDR Test

HDR picture from the library reference area looking out.

Color Study

Compared the color images against the black and white version. I thought it would help determine if the pictures were about the color, or if it held up on its own without the color. It also helped determine what the color added to the picture.

Green

Cilantro. It made a good guacamole afterwards....

Red

Radishes...
I actually desaturated this picture a little, cause it was a little too red.

Yellow

It's hard to get bananas home without bruising them.

Orange

Orange bell peppers. The orange one looks weird in black and white.

Blue

This one was disappointing. There aren't many blue foods. Most turn out to be purple when you get them well lit. Started with canned blueberries (felt frozen wouldn't have looked good), but those are just a dark purple. Red cabbage turns a nice blue when you cook it, but becomes too limp, and looses it's structure. These were blue potatoes, and even they looked purple when raw. When cooked, they turned blue. I thought these pictures made the food look a little gross, but maybe that's how we're supposed to interpret blue foods.

Cabbage, Front and Back

Cabbage from the front.Cabbage from the back. Took this with the sunlight coming through the cabbage leaf. Gave it glowing look.

Aerodynamic Bananas

Thought the "swoop" shape was interesting on these.

Radishes

Color project rejects.

Bouncing Light

I just liked the way the light bounced off the floor onto the wall. A combination of diffused and reflected light.

Bricks and Trees

Mostly, I liked the brick pattern on this one. The palm trees make it a little more interesting.

Big Tree

This tree looked incredible, towering over the neighborhood, dwarfing the other trees. The wind was blowing the branches giving it a graceful movement. Unfortunately, I don't think this picture captures it very well.

Moody Moon

As I was driving home, the moon was coming up behind these spectacular clouds. They started off a bright white, then picked up purples and reds from the sunset, then darker blues and purples. Wish I could have gotten to the park in time for some of the other phases.
