A Simple Butternut Squash

I actually love Butternut Squash season…Day 287 of 365
10-14-2013

I discovered that shooting a butternut squash is a great way to practice new Photoshop techniques! I spent a few minutes cutting out the squash and adding new backgrounds and texture layers. None of which are ready to be displayed to anyone but still fun to try something new.

Yellow Aspens Hanging in There

Spent sometime in the Mountains today and was glad there were still a few yellow Aspen leaves on the trees…. The Scrub Oak were turning orange and reds, didn’t have enough time to track any down to photograph though.

Sometimes the Fence is so Distracting…

There are times when you never notice the fence and other times it’s all you seem to see! And often the camera seems to find the fence all the time! I actually decided to stop trying to focus on the batter and focus on the fence this time… I like the effect and how it turned out.

R in Front of the Massive Lego X Wing Starfighter

Spent a few hours at Legoland California today and my son enjoyed checking out the huge X Wing Starfighter. It’s the largest Lego Model ever. It’s 5.3 million pieces and took 32 designers 3 months to complete.
