Some black & white's

shot with I-phone and cleaned up with LR



sort of an industrial look, but tourism industrial is much different than career industrial. This is not totally B&W, The wheels and some other components still have a hint of color


shot at a friends cabin in Aug 2018 when the choking smoke caused the visibility to disappear

2018 ski season....March I think. Still serious snow levels on the ski out at the knowl

Random shots fixed up with Lightroom







January Blood Moon

All of these shots were taken with ISO 100 and a tripod. The "multiple moon" shots were the combination of about 20 or more single shots taken with the same settings, cleaned up in Lightroom, then exported to Photoshop to combine and move in some kind of curve pattern. Its pretty labor intensive now as PS and LR need about 12G RAM min to operate and I have 4G on my laptop




This shot(s) was a Photoshop combination of 2 shots. The 1st was a tripod ISO100 with flash from my backyard to get the tree but he moon at that point was too bright with no definition so I took one of the other "blood moon" shots and pasted it on top of the crappy moon....work in progress

My new 300mm lens helped with the clarity on this shot. Converted to b&w and added some vignetting to the edges

Used the gradient filter tool to darken the trees near the top left


This shot took a bit of time to post fix. Using lightroom I used the brush tool and removed the color from all but the tree and its branches
