45/365: Thick & Thin, Black & Blue

Inspiration Point. I took out a branch that was hanging off the bottom wire. Obviously I couldn't come up with a name, so words were just linked together.

44/465: Inspiration

Cherokee. By luck Lehua and I stumbled upon this (more stumbling done by her). Cars stacked on top of cars. Discarded, forgotten, lost, art? It's sort of like Angkor Wat of the South...

The lighting was horrible when I took this photo. A lot of messing around with the photo at home was done. Boosted the color, adjusted the shadows and highlights, and cropping. It's as good as I get without going back another time of day. Road trip!

43/365: Fire Tower

Bearwallow Mtn. It's the blue and the yellow that does it for me. I wish the top of the trees weren't in the bottom of the picture (and that I did a better job centering the photo when I took it). I cropped the photo a bit to eliminate as much of the tree as possible, but to get it completely out I would have to use Photoshop. And I'm currently short on time. I may fix it and repost it at a later date...

42/365: Evening Cattails

Carrier Park. I like the picture, but there are a couple of things I would do differently next time. I'd have my tripod with me (it was in the car and I didn't think I'd make it back in time for there to be any light left) and I'd make the background less blurry. Because I freehanded it (pretty good when my shutter speed was 30) I had to go into iPhoto and adjust the shadows (the picture was pretty much just black before that). Then I also adjusted the exposure, saturation, definition and highlights to make the final result this.

41/365: Stumbled Upon

Random building we went into downtown. Cropped off the edge of the photo, used the spot healing brush to make two signs on the door disappear, adjusted the shadows, and made it sepia tone.

40/365: Wheat

I don't know what this plant is called, but it reminds me of wheat. I boosted the color and faded the edges using iPhoto.

39/365: Kermit's Cabin

Kermit's Cabin. This is a dilapidated cabin out in the woods by Kathy & David. Story is, Kermit used to live there. And then he died and so did the cabin. Some say there is bad juju out there. Although I didn't feel it, I did have a bad dream about the cabin as I was falling asleep.

I adjusted the shadows in this photo so that the foreground of the picture was more visible and framed the background a bit more.
