Two Leaves as a Hungry Mouse

Second in the series of "leaf transformation" photos. This photo has been post-processed, but the shadow is real. Click the photo to see it larger.

Arc de Triomphe

I'm going to do a series of autumn leaf photos like this, where the leaf or its shadow resembles something else. I spotted this on the way to work. The shadow was naturally like that when I saw it, but for the photo I repositioned the leaf onto a different part of the sidewalk that made a better background.

I took this photo with the Canon S90 as a 3-exposure HDR. I post-processed in Lightroom. But I did nothing to change the shape of the shadow.

Red Rose Challenge

Loveless cosplay

Model: nekovamp13. There's something about her facial expressions that I really like. It's like she knows something you don't. It's a very engaging quality.

Sahara and Shay

On Saturday I went to Esther Short Park in Vancouver, Washington to do photo shoots with people I met at Kumoricon. It was raining hard, but still a lot of fun. Sahara and Shay are fantastic models to work with. They are really fun and they inspire me to work harder and try to do more.
