San Francisco Ferry Building

It's been bitterly cold all summer in San Francisco, but last night was warm and gorgeous, enabling me to get out and take some night shots I've been thinking about. My 28mm wide angle lens allowed me to capture the TransAmerica Pyramid, Ferry Building and Coit Tower in one shot. Sweet! It't the reflections on the water that bring the shot to life.

Wicked

This picture was just for fun. I liked the juxtaposition of the solemn statue and the whispering witches in the background. A shout out to Photoshop's new "Content Aware" retouch brush for easy (undetectable) removal of a light pole blocking the Wicked Witch of the West.

Modern Girl

OK,ok I cheated on this picture and dropped Courtney in to show scale. My philosophy is "all's fair in love and photography." Whatever it takes to realize the artist's vision is fair game. For example, this series of pictures looks (I think) non-manipulated. In fact, I worked with dodging, burning & coloring in Lightroom and Photoshop to achieve the look I wanted on every single one of these pictures.
