Mauritius + Photoshop = this gallery

There were a number of really interesting photos I took in Mauritius – here are a few that I cleaned up an enhanced in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop that I think are particularly share-worthy – enjoy!

 

The Winter Wonderland

Our winter vacation back to Danbury Wisconsin is over (as are the lengthy flights home).   It was wonderful to visit family and friends and connect during the holidays.   Playing in the snow and sitting next to a fire while the snow fell outside was a treat as well.  As a parting homage to Wisconsin winter here are a few more outdoor shots that I took over the last month.

Macro Photography

Towards the end of the summer in Danbury I took my trusty Nikon outside on a cloudy day and proceeded to see what sorts of close-up Macro shots might present themselves.  It was a wet summer so most of the interesting objects of small scale tended to be fungus.   Enjoy the pictures.

Summer Photoshop

Well our early summer vacation has drawn to a close.  We have successfully made the transatlantic trip once again with little incident unless you count Kai’s meltdown in Amsterdam when he was going on almost 20 hours with no sleep.

Below are a series of photoshopped or otherwise enhanced images that I took over this vacation at our house in Wisconsin.  I still have a few more galleries of different family visits that I will post in the coming days so stay tuned!

Black and White

After the recent trek to the desert I took some of the images and sat down with Photoshop.  I thought the very bright images might work well in a black and white (or sepia) format.   Here’s what I came up with.

Fun with Nora’s Bedroom Wall

Nora’s new bedroom has 3 walls painted yellow and fourth is painted green ((it is what I am told is an “accent wall”)).  When I saw the color green that Crystal and Nora picked I immediately thought of chroma-key effects.  These are just with a still camera, my new attempt will involved better lighting and a video camera.
