Desert View

Desert View

Ah, I miss my days of regular hikes in the desert. The views are so beautiful! Big blue sky, mountains wherever you look, and the sunshine!

This photo was taken on my iPhone 6 and edited in Lightroom. I didn’t have to do much with this photo beside slightly adjusting the s curve and adding a light vignette to frame the shot.

Hello Froggy

Hello Froggy

I came across this image today and I was immediately reminded of the camping trip where this was taken. Photographs have a way of not only capturing the beauty in the world but reminding us of memories made. Two wins in my book! As I go through my tons of pics I am excited to edit them with fresh eyes and rediscover the happy memories that were formed when I took the picture.

I am working through my backlog of pictures for two main reasons. One I already have a lot of great shots I want to share with the world. And secondly, I unfortunately broke my fibula about three weeks ago, which required surgery. So I will not be mobile for a little while which means it will be difficult to get new material. I think this is the right time to transition my hobby to something more as this will be a great distraction from my current state!

This photo was also taken on my iPhone and edited in Lightroom. This time I used the just the base s-curve to correct the coloring. I then used two radial filters to accent the frog. The first one focused on enhancing the frog’s coloring while the second one was a duplicate. I used the second one to focus on the inverse and desaturate the background which made the frog stand out a little more.
