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.

Interesting Subjects

Warped View

My main subject for photography is beautiful landscapes, but I also enjoy taking pictures of interesting subjects that may or may not also fall into the landscape category. An example of this is the image above which is just a simple glass block window.

This window faces east and the way that the morning sunlight comes through is just beautiful. I noticed my infant being entranced with the window when light was coming through and I soon followed suit. Then after taking a picture of it with my iPhone I discovered that up close it looks like a kaleidoscope!

I took this picture with my iPhone 11 Pro and was edited in Lightroom. My intent here was to bring a moody feel to the picture and to accentuate the different colors coming through. I think this would make an interesting pattern or background for a design.

As always I hope you enjoy!
