Showcase Blue Sky Photography

Wave Runner

This Water jetski was taken at Ixtapa, Mexico in 2006. The beach is so quiet. The interesting thing is that we have to take a taxi from the cruise ship harbor. It took us 45 minutes to get to the beach. It was a scary ride, because we don’t speak any Spanish and the driver don’t speak any English. So we were so afraid got lost and taken to somewhere dangerous. The cities in between are all very poor and dirty.

Luckily, the drive are very nice. It was a great ride. That makes me live Mexico and their people.

One thing that HDR image fascinates me is the details of the image. It’s unbelievable that how much details a HDR image  can reveal. I think I will definitely purchase the Photomatix Pro to remove the watermark. This is the third HDR Image I’ve ever done. What I don’t like is that it reveals too much dark cloud on the left top corner and the edge between sky and the top of the tree on the right side. I can probably retouch it in the Photoshop. I really like the bottom part where the tree’s shadow touch the grass.

What do you think?

HDR Image Trees

The first one Rose isn’t that much dramatic and the second one lake houses looks like painting. Again, if you look at the original photo, it’s really boring.

Trees

Camera: Canon 7D

Software: Photoshop, Photomatix Pro

OK. After first try on the HDR image this morning – Rose. I decided to take few photos in the afternoon and give Photomatix Pro a shot. Here is what I got. It wasn’t too bad for novice like me, but I definitely need to learn more about HDR image. The image looks really really unreal. It looks more like a painting. What do you think?

Lake Houses HDR

Here is the original photo I took at normal exposure. You can definitely tell how boring it is. I think I absolutely in love with HDR image. From now on, I will try to take as many bracketed images as possible. So I can process them in the Photomatix Pro.

Lake House

Las Vegas Lady

Once again, you can see how much I like blue sky photography. This photo really shows the blue and the contrast of white sculpture. You can find the other photo Las Vegas Ladies photo at Caesars Place Hotel in Las Vegas.

Camera: Canon 7D

This photo was taken at Caesars Place Hotel in Las Vegas. I like the photo because of the curved composition. The blue sky and the white ladies just make this photo interesting.

Tucson Golf Resort

If you read more about my photos on this blog, you can tell that I love blue, green and white combination. I also love going out to hike. Now I am also playing golf. The best thing about playing golf is not getting the ball into the hole. It’s about seeing the green, blue and white. We took a short weekend trip to Tucson, AZ’s most famous golf resort. We did not play golf, but we did enjoy walking on the green.

Camera: Nikon D70S.

Town Lake

I love the combination of blue sky, blue lake and green grass. Not to mention there is also enough white to compensate the scene. I took this photo near by my house, where people can picnic and jugging in the community. This was the early stage of my digital photography life. I started learning white balance to adjust the shot.
