Month: October 2010

As I mentioned earlier, a great resource for Fall photography is your local Pumpkin Patch. I used a wide open lens to create a very shallow depth of field.

Enjoy and happy Friday!

During my last trip to San Francisco I saw this heart shaped leaf on a tree just waiting to be photographed. Keep your camera ready at all times! There are photo ops everywhere.

Happy Thursday!

This fallen leaf says it all! I used my 200mm prime lens wide open to get a very shallow depth of field. Therefor the eyes go automatically to the sharpest subject.

Enjoy and happy photographing!

Photographing on a pumpkin patch is a great experience. You find all kinds of subjects.

Enjoy!

Create an image that says “Fall!” There are many ways to express the theme for this week. I went to a local pumpkin patch and photographed there. You may also go to a local park or do something totally different. As always, enjoy this exercise!

The idea of making a postcard is to ad clarifying text to you composition. I hope you enjoyed this exercise as much as I did.

Have a great week-end!

The image on the top is created from “Inspiration Point.” On the bottom from left to right: El Capitan. the Merced River and the dead Cedar tree in The Valley. Enjoy!

I photographed yesterday in San Francisco. One of my favorite place is the Dahlia Garden right outside the Conservatory of Flowers. Enjoy!

Bodie is a ghost-town close to Mono Lake in California. It is worth a visit anytime. Enjoy and let’s create more postcards.

Create a postcard this week. The size of my postcard is 1263X1641 @300PPI. Use this setting if you would like to have your postcard printed. For the web I reduced the size to 385X500 @72PPI. You may combine one, two, three or more image and text into your composition. Again, as always, have fun with this exercise!

This is a postcard that I produced for the Chamber of Commerce and it is available in the City of Chowchilla.
