Local Hawk

This is the picture of a Hawk that will normally hang out at an overpass to an interstate highway. I think the hawk has a very good view of the area from here. I got lucky and the show has some excellent details of the hawks face.

Bozeman Montana

This was originlly a simple picture of a sunset. However one day i got the bright idea to make a lightning strike appear. The concept was the arc is lighting up the background instead of the sun. I thought it was the perfect combination.

B & W

I loved this photo. It was originaly color and the branche that appears to be behind the right wing was in fact in front of the right wing. I was able to reconstruct the wing and make it appear behind the butterfly. Finally i thought the black and wite background was perfect for this picture.

Bridge

This is a composite of 5 different pictures. I wanted to get the whole bridge, but there was no place for me to physically stand and get the detail i wanted. So i took 5 pictures and merged them. It is a bridge at a local state park. I dont think it exists any more. I think it got washed out recently.

Red Tail Hawk

You cannot see it here in this picture, but the hawk allowed me to get within 20 feet while it ate a mouse. I got some of the most impressive pictures that day.

Two frogs hanging out in one of my mom's lilly pad buckets. I was completely surprised how much they did not move.

Beautiful morning picture on my way to work. I really tried to get the contrasting colors of the sky, and the trees.

Hovering sparrow

This is a picture of a Sparrow pecking at the Suet feeder. The sparrow is hovering. I didnt think they could do such things

Alex

This is a photo of Alex this summer standing next to the mammoth Sunflowers in the garden. I measured the sunflower over his head and it was about 14 feet tall.

Caught grandpa relaxing in the early afternoon sun. He really does love that...

Alex and Sonia posing for me.

Sonia and Alex posing for Grandpa/Dad

This picture was taken with the intent of using this side by side with an old picture of these two when they were really young. I havent scanned the picture and done all the neat stuff i plan on using, but in time i will get to it.

From left to right is Alex, Sonia, and Grandpa

This is a picture of Granpa, Alex and I. Grandpa is on the left Alex has the yellow hat and I am standing in the background.

  Lastly i took that same picture made it black and white and ran it through live trace in adobe Illustrator. I cleaned up a few of the blenishes and just simple leaned it up a bit. I added just a tinge of blue to his eyes and there you have it.

  This is the same picture as below, however this time i used a little cartoon filtering from GIMP. The more I play with this filter, the more i eally like it. I also cropped this phot just a bit to get rid of the DD sinage.
