Happy New Year to all the readers of my blog! Thanks for dropping by to see my work and to read about my progress over the past year. I hope you will continue to visit throughout 2009 and maybe provide comments to help me improve my photography.
On this last day of 2008, I will leave you with a “postcard” from my October trip to the Oregon coast. It is an amazing place, one that is rich in images for newbies and professionals alike. I have already planned my return trip there in the Fall with one of the best photographers I know, Bryan Peterson. This photo is of the numbers on a boat that was dry docked in Astoria close to the Cannery Pier Hotel where we stayed. Although it might seem like this was taken in or converted to black and white, the image has actually not been altered at all (other than my message to everyone which was added in Photoshop). The boat was white and the numbers were black and it was taken very early in the morning just before sunrise. I just love it when I get it correct in-camera so here’s to many more images like this one!
I am taking a 365 photo a day challenge, are you too? was this picture inspired by that?
Hi Brooke, I hadn’t heard of the 365 photo-a-day challenge but it sounds really interesting. Please do share!
