Photo of the day 1/6/2012 – “Untitled”

“Untitled”

Today I dug up a photo of a couple years ago that I probably overlooked before because the tree in the foreground was way too dark.  So I learned a little about dodging today to lighten it up.  I also adjusted the colors a bit (probably too much) to bring it to life.

“Untitled”

I’m not totally excited how this photo turned out, but since it got me to learn some functions of Photoshop I hadn’t used before, I’ll take it.  What you don’t see is a ton of branches from the scraggly tree in the neighbors yard.  A few remain, and the retouching work isn’t close to great, but I accomplished my goal today so I move on.

“Untitled”

My first star-trail photo.

I wish I had framed this better, but I really didn’t expect this to turn out at all.  It was merely a test shot as I had not ever taken a long exposure like this.  I had no idea what I needed for exposure, ISO, or anything, especially considering the trees would catch some light from the porch light.  3007 seconds, ISO 1000, f8
