I took this, and several other photos, of a moose a few years ago at Elkhorn Hot Springs just outside Polaris, MT. We had just pulled in to the pool area parking lot and this moose, and her two calves were just milling about near the pool fence. I got out of the vehicle and... Continue Reading →
I actually have no idea what this lake is called, so I've dubbed it "unknown lake". What I do know is that it was off in a side canyon up a rough trail in the mountains outside Sun Valley, ID. It was a gorgeous August day, and the water was the clearest I have ever... Continue Reading →
Okay. This is obviously not a landscape photo or a graphic I created. But I couldn't resist posting a picture of our amazing dog, Nolly. She is as sweet as she is adorable.
Here is my first attempt at animating a photo. I brought the Snake River Canyon Photo into Hype 3 (HTML5 Interactive web content and animation software from Tumult, Inc. - you can buy it here: https://tumult.com/hype/) Looks pretty cool for a first go at using the software.
As good as the Long Lake photo looks, it looks downright killer in B&W. Somehow it makes the details pop. I may have to have this printed in large format, framed, and hung in my house somewhere.

There is nothing quite like the look of a film photograph. Different films created different styles. One of the most popular films was Kodachrome by Kodak. Trying to recreate the look of film I used the original photo of the Snake River Canyon, filtered it using ON1's stand alone Photoshop plug-in, the film->Kodachrome setting adjusted...

I took this photo on September 16, 2017 with my iPhone 7 Plus. This is the view of the Snake River Canyon opposite Shoshone Falls in Twin Falls, ID. I have made several variations of it in Photoshop and will upload them as I create more. In the original photo there were power lines that... Continue Reading →
