Lighthouse

So we went to Cape St Francis this past weekend. Was very nice, never been there before. This was taken with my Canon 400D with a Sigma 18-200mm lens. I edited it slightly and changed it to B&W and put a border using Photoshop.

Cheetah

I took this photo a while ago, so decided to see what I could do in PS with it. So changed it to B&W. Its amazing what PS can do. You would think B&W is plain and simple, but with PS there are so many different settings for B&W. This is how I finally edited the photo...I am going to make a big print of it and frame it for my wall!!!

Engagement Ring

Well I was messing around on Photoshop CS4 and Dynamic HDR this evening. So decided to see what I could do with a pic I took of my fiancés engagement ring. I first used PS to create two more overexposed ( +1 and +2) pics, then two underexposed (-1 and -2) pics. I then merged them using Dynamic HDR and also tonemapped them into a B&W HDR image. I then used PS again to create a black border. This is the result...

Arch Rock

While we were in Plett this last weekend, we decided to take a walk to Arch rock on Keurbooms Beach. These were some rocks at the bottom of arch rock where the waves were breaking on. Its amazing how smooth and clean the ocean makes these rocks...

Sailing Plett

Well I was in Plett this weekend visiting my mom who is down from Johannesburg. Weather wasn't too bad concidering it was suppossed to be 42kph winds with rain. Turned out to be a really nice weekend. As you can see, the bay was really flat. There was just enough wind for ths yacht to be out. I decided to try out the black and white setting on my camera instaed of using photoshop for a change. I think it came out really well.
