Abstraction

March 12, 2013January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 9 Comments

More and more, when I'm on my weekly photo hike, I try to frame the images I wanted directly in my camera. That may mean changing lenses so I can get in tight, or changing my orientation to change the photo's perspective. I also shoot in very high resolution, which seems to allow me more … Continue reading Abstraction

Before & After – eyes have it

March 7, 2011March 7, 2011 ~ Tara R. ~ 5 Comments

I shoot all my photos almost exclusively with my Nikon D60. I also have a little Nikon Cool Pix that I use occasionally. The quality is good with the point-n-shoot, but I love my DSLR camera. When I got O'Dell (that's what call Him), a 18-55mm lens was included and I shot only with that … Continue reading Before & After – eyes have it

Before & After: sunset contrails

February 12, 2011 ~ Tara R. ~ 5 Comments

I love photographing sunsets and sunrises. Luckily, I live in an area where there are many beautiful locations, all on their own, to capture these sky shots. When editing these, I try to keep it to a minimum, usually only altering the image enough so that it conveys, as closely as I can, the sunset … Continue reading Before & After: sunset contrails
