After looking at all of the “photography” that I keep seeing on different sites and in our club competitions I have come to the conclusion and I may be being a bit of a purest on images that I am shooting. I try to shoot what I see and process it the same way. With Lightroom and Photoshop I think it is time to start playing a little bit. This is going to be a bit of a challenge for me as my artistic ability other than photography is limited to very poor stick figure drawings. I guess we will see where it all leads. I know I’d still much rather be out shooting than sitting here doing post production work.

This image was taken at Newport, Oregon. I will say that it was not foggy when I took the shot. The boats in the background were tack sharp. Here begins my jump into what I will call Photo Art. (click on the image for full size)
