I do alot of post processing in Lightroom 3 with presets. Need to be careful with the yellow on people from different ethninessity (sp) and I like putting vignette to make center of picture pop...hope you like my take

Talk of Image Stablilizar...where is that on the lens or camera? and of coarse manual doesn't say diddlly..Nikon D7000 user..with sigma 70-200 f/2.8, Nikon 24-70 f/2.8

I took this of my daughter and friends for their senior page in the yearbook. The focus is too soft and I should of closed down my Aperture for all to be in focus, but it's an idea for your group...always learning this photography stuff, but loving it!

Exploring in Camp Fresno, Ca. Stumbled across this bridge,so I took some shots.

I've made a couple of books with My Publisher. They always offer coupons. download to your computer and you have it there always. You can build a book basically with flexible layouts, save the book on your PC, until you get a coupon or not. You can preview youir book online. Here's a book of mine I made to display my photography.

A double thumbs up with My Publisher.

Here's some of my water shots, once a year I travel to Huntington Beach for the US Open of Surfing. Get up real early to get a spot on the pier to get some exciting action shots. I've done some Post Processing because the water looks really ickie...oh well...
I live in the San Joaquin Valley and not near any water.

Jean love the bench overlooking the water...what a great spot!!

Huntington Beach with thousands of people


can't remember the surfer but its a cool shot...ha!


Kelly Slater the Winner this year

Wow! thank you for your kind words...you asked for it you got it...very grainey and not a sharp picture...but here goes...

Yup Gizzy it is...I was playing around in Lightroom and I really liked the dramazation of what his story was telling me...my eye draws to his eyes with this coloration.
Thank you for your opinion...

thank you Russell, I saw alot of sorrow in his eyes, but yet loving his best friend"the dog"

Thank you Greg I'll try it, I also took another shot of him with him blowing smoke from his Cigarette, but his hat had the F-bomb on it...whoops!! I chose not to post that one.

These seniors in high school wanted shots of them before the homecoming dance...so we hit the downtown area...where other people don't like going but photographers love it...
The other shot of a kid on the streets asking for money, I asked if I could take his picture for the change. A couple weeks later I gave him a copy of his pictures, he couldn't believe it and couldn't thank me enough..then asked if I had any spare change..ha!! I did.

I Love this alley!!


this might go in their yearbook for a SR. page.
