Portfolio

This gallery contains 61 photos.

This is a small portfolio of the photography work I’ve done over the past several years. The interiors are from my time as a real estate photographer so the focus was on selling the home. I have also done extensive work with outlines/knockouts but have chosen not to feature those…

Horseshoe Bend Sunset & Editing

While I do try to remain honest with my photography, sometimes you have to push the edge of reality just a little bit. On a beautiful January day, I was happily working away at my desk (at home) when I noticed the sky start to become more and more rich and bold in color. I had my camera ready and rushed outside to snap off a few images before the colors died. Usually this type of sunset sky only lasts a moment or two when it is at its most magical, so I had to be fast. Because of this, I had to shoot it where I was. In town. No time to run up the pass or around the bend of the river. Just shoot!

Below is a description of what I did to make the image appealing to you and I, and to be usable as the featured image for this website.

  1. In the first image you’ll notice two things:
    • There are power lines
    • The highest hill is on the right, not the left.
  2. In the second image the power lines are gone
  3. In the third image I flipped it so that there would be a good place for the site name and tag line
Click on the first image and then use your keyboard’s arrow keys to quickly flip back and forth for the magical disappearing act.

It’s as simple as that. Though it did take over an hour to remove the ‘man made’ stuff. If only I had Photoshop CS5…

Payette River Frost

Ice and frost on the Payette River. Banks-Lowman Road, Idaho.

On my way to visit Sylvia at work I had to stop and photograph the cold, winter river. This valley runs east/west so it gets little to no sunlight during the winter months. So even though it was the middle of the day, there was still plenty of frost on the rocks. The river humidity makes an ever-present ice covering in the deep of the valley.
