Fish Squares

This was a picture of a display in a hotel lobby in San Diego. Thanks everybody for you nice comments.

A bit of how?

The taking of the picture was as simple as find the right spot stand still and click. However this didn't produce a picture quite so perfectly cropped or one with the lines so nicely perpendicular. I was able to fix both of these issues in Photoshop. I used the 'Transform' tool to fix the perspective angles. While there I did a 'Levels' adjustment and of course the crop.

  • <h3>White Fluffy Bumbs</h3>This is one of my favorite pictures. People sometimes have a hard time telling what is in the picture. Marshmellows is often guessed.<br>It turns out to be large rocks on a river bank covered in fresh snow at night with a light shinning on it. This was taken in Whistler, Canada.
  • <h2>Wisteria</h2>I liked this as much the Photoshop effect as the flowers. I used the Filter 'Dry Brush' to get this look.
  • <h2>But where is the soda?</h2>This was shot with two stobes. The main light had a small softbox on it and the second was bare bulb at low power to fill in the shadows.
  • <h2>Neon Crayola</h2>I find this one kind of playful. I liked the <a href="http://www.catchlightpictures.smugmug.com/gallery/4612197_LpvJA/1/272045005_z5DqC/Large">orginal</a> but this one makes me smile.
  • <h2>Purple Petals</h2>Another go with the 'Dry Brush' filter in Photoshop.
  • I wanted to see just how much I could mute the sun light with my strobes.
  • <h2>Sentinel</h2>This old tree was standing in the woods looking like it had been there a very long time.
  • I was just out having fun with this one. This is in front of my house and the kids wanted to help, so they ended up in each of the segments of this stitch.
  • <h1>Bird of Prey</h1>This was taken from the deck of a ship while docked in Dakar.
  • <h2>Ready to Eat</h2> This little guy was about to land on the hummingbird feeder that we have hung in our backyard.

  • Laguna Hills fire looking over the condo.

  • Side of an old cabin in Grant's Grove.

    nice shot - great color and even exposure - must have been difficult with all the different light sources in a hotel lobby
