Tilted Barn

Tilting Barn, originally uploaded by CoachPeterson.

This is another photo of the crazy barn across the street from my house that is about ready to fall down. I love the way this one turned out. I used the natural angle and perspective of the building to exaggerate the tilt of the building to give it a "wide-angle lens" effect.

Here is another shot of it with color:

Rock Falls

It is truly hard to believe that this beautiful location is less than 30 minutes from O'Neill, NE.  We had cooperation from the weather AND sunlight to have a great day to shoot.

I have never shot water before and was excited at experimenting with the settings on my camera.  I was happy with how they all came out.  The above photo is pretty much un-edited, but I did mess around a little bit with the hue/saturation and some contrast.

This photo has been edited using some actions I got from Katrina Gotschall.  I liked the natural colors in it.

 Did some experimenting with this one in Picasa.  I liked the eerie feeling and the softness of the photo.

Used Photoshop to edit this one using some hue/saturation boost and the blur edges action.

I liked the lighting of this photo of the old mill.  Converting to black and white added to the cool lighting of this photo.
