Haven't had a great Sunset photography for sometime. So I took a short trip to the South Mountain in Phoenix to take a look at the beautiful sunset on the cloudy day. Honestly, taking a great sunset photo isn't easy. I took over 80 shots and only have one come out close to what I want. It's not even close to real professional sunset photo. I guess I need some extra lens filter for sunset.I kind of like the rest of photos in HDR. They turn … [Read more...]
Double Vision At Phoenix Art Walk
This is actually my favorite black and white shot taken at the First Friday Art Walk in Phoenix. As you may ask, is it photoshoped? Yes. I did photoshop and blur the center windows. So it looks like the men on both side are looking at the opposite direction. Personally, photography isn't always about reality. It can be creative. I, however, never tried to scan the QRCode on the window and see where it will take me to.I had great night … [Read more...]
Alien Invasion In Phoenix

It was a great tour to see art works and meet with local artists. I really like how the artist presenting the sculpture.The second one looks like the alien is giving me a direction while I got lost in the crowd. It reminds me the song "Walk this way ... " … [Read more...]

HDR Sunset Crater Volcano
Well. This is the only photo I had for Sunset Crater Volcano in N. Flagstaff AZ. I was NOT trying to create fancy HDR image, but I end up try to make it look more like a realistic HDR. I also don't have a wild angel lens, so I use my default 28-135mm lens for the shot. I am still learning how to adjust the software to make it NOT too dark on the right side. Anyway, Enjoy it! It's an amazing place to see volcano without flying to Hawaii. … [Read more...]
