A Study in IR with Flowers

Jan 222012
 

So 2 posts in a week, I think this is a record for me at this point :)

With all the things I have been involved with lately and all the time I have had on my hands being stuck at the house.  I did the unthinkable and went and completely reorganized and sorted all (YES ALL!!!) of my images to date.  It took the better part of 3 days, lots of coffee and tea, as well as the better part of my sanity.  However, I was able to complete this task and in the process I found images that I had completely forgotten about.  Some of these images were from a study of light that I did on flowers a few years back.  Others just good old fashion macro photography of flowers out in the wild.  One thing that I noticed was that while the colors are rich and wonderfully please in to the eye.  I wondered what would happen if I decided to shift the spectrum of color a bit, say to the Infra red side of things.  So I gathered up a set of images and Jumped into Color Efex Pro 4.0 and had a little fun with it.  The results are below.  Turned out pretty neat I think…

So what have I been doing???

Jan 202012
 

Well it has been all too quite around here on the blog and I thought I would swing in to give an update on things.  Lately things have been a bit rough.  An illness I have has slowed me down greatly and made it difficult to do much of anything at this point, but I keep pressing through it where I can to keep the sanity.  So to keep my sanity I get to go outside for brief stents of time and photograph the amazing animals you see up above.  These are all rescues saved by Marley’s Mutts Dog Rescue up where I live.  And you may have noticed they have branched out into rescuing horses as well.  I am doing what I can to help out here and there but capturing the images of these guys really is something that keeps the spirits up.  The Gift of Giving Gallery that was posted in December has been doing really great at raising money to help buy supplies for the rescue to keep things moving forward.  Many images have been added along with 2 whole new collections of some of the dogs that have been rescued along with the horses.  So if you get a chance got take a look, and if you need a print snag one from there :)  All the proceeds are going to help the efforts.

 

Hope everyone is having a great new year so far

A Gift within a Gift

Hey Everyone,

With the holidays approaching and inevitable question of what do I get for [Insert Name Here] lingering in the air, a thought came to me as I was sitting in my office with the newest furry member of the family Wiggles laying at my feet.  In the past months I have started helping out a great dog rescue in the town I live in.  The organization is called Marley’s Mutts I have blogged about it a few times before (it is where we were lucky enough to find Wiggles), and the place has become near and dear to my heart.  My good friend Zach Skow ( @ZachSkow ) who runs Marley’s Mutts has done amazing things to help wayward dogs find a second chance in new homes. And then I came up with an idea.  A photo gallery to help out called a Gift of Giving.  I have put together this gallery where prints can be purchased for that special someone and  100% of all the proceeds from the sales of the prints will go to help out the dogs in need like the 4 you see up above.

The gallery has a wide collection of images and more images will be added in the upcoming days.  You can follow me and Zach on twitter to get updates when new images are put into the galleries.  Also, if there is an image that you have seen in the past on my blog that isn’t in the gallery email me using the contact tab above and let me know what the image was and the date it was posted and I will see if I can get it added for you.

I have placed a permanent tab in the top navigation of the blog that can take you directly to the gallery.

Please spread the word about this and while you get a gift for that special someone, give another gift of a second chance for man’s best friend at the same time.

Head over to Marley’s Mutts Adoptable Dogs Page to see some of the dogs you would be helping out…

Thank you and Merry Christmas to everyone…
