Just given the fact its a weed, i suppose is negative. then again, butterflies need the plant, so theres a positive side. beats me, im just the photographer.
a little play in Lightroom with an old file i had. the background was a burnt orange/greenish color. little trick in vignette (with highlights) can extract the white points around the edges...or bring them back into visual. just a little trick if you have the software and wanted to know. theres another in PS as well. many dont have or use PS so here's a different way.
Otherwise known as the Moon Flower.
Elegant, Posed, Beautiful yet at the same time extremely deadly. reminds me of an old Ex...Yikes! did i type that out loud?
Looming out in the distance to the left is the Hospital downtown. i know because I've been admitted there several times. awaken one morning by this peaceful glow coming in through the window just before day break, or was it? all sense of time had been lost by then. I could not help but to gaze out over the city at the horizon glowing. it was then i noticed something strange by the old train depot but too far to see clearly. in the days to come i was soon discharged from the hospital, just before dawn! I had my camera with me and decided to go investigate.
It's dawn now, just before day break, its time to collect the souls! i soon found out what it was i seen that morning just before sunrise. it seems now i was not discharged after all, i was released! it appears my ride is here, so i must leave now! or do i have to? it could very well be my vanishing point beyond return!
23 layers, 6 adjustment layers, with layer masking. Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and Photomatix Pro 5 used.
ALL of the pictures that made up this photo(which are many) came from my 2 camera's only! this was once up before, made a few changes.
there are some Pic's you just cant seem to let go for some odd reason, this would be one of those.
the orig was horrible, yet the experience to get close was too cool! the picture came out drap 2D pasty looking thing.
there is no HDR software here like most would think. this was done before i discovered HDR. just hours of play in photoshop with level, contrast, color correction. then a lot of dodge,burn, saturation tools...lol not to bad so i posted it. this thing has been in a folder done for atleast 4 years. its never seen Caedes...i dont think anyways.
Sandhill Crane in the back 40
one more..the end! (for now anyways)
Just another somewhat like the other
