Let Freedom Ring

   I am proud to be an American... I love my country... Remember the sacrifices that our founding fathers made. Remember all the fighting men & women that have served in the armed forces, and especially those that have been lost. 


   Where ever you call home... Whatever City... Whatever State... We are all free to live as we choose, but with this freedom comes great responsibility. I am embarrassed of many of my fellow citizens and the choices they have made in there lives. How to live, how to conduct themselves, even common courtesy is becoming nonexistent in our society. I plead with any who read this... (This is a call to ARMS so to speak). It's time to take a stand! If you believe in our society. Be a better person. Create a safe place to raise your family. Stand up for your beliefs, and make sure those around you hear and see your example.

HDR Family Project

 
   I love Photoshop... I use CS5, and Lightroom 3 for my editing.
80-90% of the time Lightroom has everything I need to quickly adjust
and edit photos, but this project required a little more.

   I captured three images, one with good exposure, one 3 stops under
exposed, and one 3 stops over exposed.

Normal exposure.

3 stops under exposed.

And last one 3 stops over exposed.

These are then combined into an HDR (high dynamic range) photograph in Photoshop.



The next step was to place and blend all the subjects into the HDR image.

After a little work you can get the image to look seamless.

OK maybe a lot of work... About 2 hours later... 

                                   
                                                               BudaBing BudaBoom...

                              I ended up using about 12 different layers to create this image.

                                  The final Photo looked pretty good what do you think?

World wide audience.

                          I'm getting hits from all over the world on my photo blog.
I am deeply grateful to all of you that check it out, please share it, like it, or follow it.

                                 Once again thank you!

Blacksmith, Micheal Mendenhal

I attended the Freedom Fest at Sera park yesterday and met Micheal, wow what an artist...
I have always wanted a flint striker, (Used to make sparks when stuck against flint). Using primitive tools from the around the 18th century he made one in about 30 minutes.
