Softened

REBEL T1i - f/4 - 1/60 sec. - ISO 400 - Canon EF-S 18-55mm - 18mm focal length

Hiking in the woods with Connor again. Another late afternoon walk with great lighting. I realy liked the incomplete composition of this shot. Nothing is complete, you can only see part of the bridge, part of the creek, the bottoms of the trees. Everything has been cut off. Yet the line of sight from the water highlights, moves in a nice straight line up the photo drawing your eyes upwards. I played around in Photoshop with the HDR toning filter, softening things up and increasing the highlights and shadows. I actually think i might want to get a print of this one.

My Yard at Night

REBEL T1i - f/3.5 - 1/60 sec. - ISO 400 - Canon EF-S 18-55mm - 18mm focul length

Playing around with my flash late at night. I angled the camera severely and my flash has the weird extender on it. It almost works like a spot light. It focuses the light from the flash onto a smaller area. I came up with this shot and I think it's somewhat creepy.
