Well August is here and I've started my 6th month anniversary with the Dailies Crew and I must say I have met so many wonderful people and fantastic talented artists here. You all have brought a smile to my face each & every day along with helping my creativity EXPLOAD allowing my artistic ideas to come out on film which can only benefit myself & my clients. I have learned so many new techniques as well, even after 30 years of playing with photography all my instructors were right, you NEVER stop learning in this game. I look forward to another great month here and hope you all continue to enjoy this group of wonderful folks as much as I do.
Best Regards,

"Mighty Reds"
While on my nature walk I managed to find this huge clump of massive Red trees which are not that common around these parts. So I decided to capture them and see how it would look looking straight up through them. I had my 18-200mm on but I wish I had something wider or a fish eye for this one, maybe next time. It still came out like I thought it would and I'm really happy I found this growth of trees because they are really cool. I'm sure in other parts of the country these are plentiful but not here, matter of fact this is possibly the only time I have ever seen them here. Another good thing about this image is that I was able to get farther under them due to me shooting from a ditch giving a little more depth to the image.
In post I enhanced the sun rays, pumped up the contrast a little bit and gave it a frame to match the mood.
EDIT: Camel - The sun rays were produced by a Cokin Sun Ray Filter that disfusses the rays and then I also enhanced them in CS3 bringing them out more!
Have a great day everyone
