This old dresser was photographed in northern New Mexico. I was drawn to it by the soft window light, but just couldn’t create the image I wanted while I was there. While this image was captured a couple of years ago, I was still drawn to something about it. I decided to give it a chance and worked the image in LightRoom and Photoshop. With powerful tools for changing perspective, creating mood, adding light and textures, I transformed the image into something much closer to what I had in mind. Great fun to work, gratifying to see the result. What do you think? Here are the Before and After versions.
On the night of April 14th / April 15th we were treated to a full Lunar Eclipse. I knew there would be thousands of photographers out there capturing their version of this spectacular event. I decided I’d try something a bit different.
Albuquerque New Mexico was directly in the middle of the path for the full annular eclipse on May 20th. Had a great view and clear skies. This is an in camera multiple exposure using the Canon 5D Mark III. Knowing this event was coming, I planned out this shot in my head and did my best to execute it as the event unfolded. This has no post processing at all. This is simply a jpeg export from the original RAW image capture. A truly amazing sight to see!!
This is an intentional blur of an Native American Dancer in the plaza. The colors were fantastic so I decided to try a longer shutter speed to create an abstract blur. I’d be interested in hearing if you think this kind of an image works for you. Thanks!
This refuge in south central New Mexico offers wonderful photo opportunities. In the winter months, the refuge is famous for huge flocks of cranes and geese. It is also famous for amazing light at sunrise and sunset. Here’s an example. I’m only about an hour and a half from the refuge so I have the opportunity to photograph there on a regular basis.. Ahh…
