I have no idea what type of flower this is. However, I like the orange contrast and the broad pedals.

I took this picture at Deep River County Park a long time ago when I got my first camera capable of shooting RAW. Lately I've been reviewing some of my old photos and trying to revive them. This photo needed a bit of a crop and a saturation increase in LR3. How does it look?

Signs of summer

I remember when I was younger we would soak cattails in gasoline and then using them as torches. I did live in a very rural area, so maybe my childhood cattail memories differ from most peoples.

There is a pond in our new neighborhood, and I took this photo the day UPS delivered my new CP from B&H. The CP didn't help much in this photo, but it was still on the camera for what it's worth.

This photo is straight out of the camera.

Think Spring!

It is cold and rainy outside, so I haven't been able to get out and shoot this weekend. That's okay though, because I still have a large collection of photos I can share. I need to get out and shoot soon though, because I don't necessarily think I have a large collection of photos people would want to look at!

This photo is one of the very first photos I shot when I got my new Canon XSi DSLR. I did a bit of sharpening in Lightroom and then took it over to Topaz Adjust to give the image a little bit of pop.

I promise I have some unaltered images coming later this week!
