Hello Again!

Hello! Decided to come back to this blog. I've been meaning to do so for a long time, but haven't been taking the quality of photos I wanted to be taking with my new Nikon D5100. So bear with me til I get used to the camera!
Here are three edits of a sunset I wanted to play with using an HDR editor. Since I used some local toning in the processing of the source photos, I'm sure that's why the end result wasn't quite what it should be.
Either way, what do you think?

Around

While I was away I sure took a lot of photos. Were they all pro shots? No. In fact a lot where just regular so-so stuff you'd take on a mediocre vacation. :-\
Now, did I get some pretty decent shots? Yeah, though some styles are a bit repetitive, like food and plants, haha. But that makes sense since I was working on a farm (CSA).
Did I manage to get a few amazing shots? You bet I did! Most are macro, but that's okay - it's what my camera is best at.
I hope in the future to borrow a few various cameras that some of my friends have (Rebel XT, Mid-class Nikon, etc) to take some varying shots, like better portraits for example. I will, though, have to ask the people I take photos of if I can post the end products. lol.

How has everyone else been? Busy? Hopefully plenty of photos? Please do tell!
I hope to be adding photos soon, though. Maybe even some unedited stuff, as I plan to go back where I was working in a short while - however I will have access then to some editing power. XD Slow upload time, unfortunately. :-\

Away, away, off into the sky

Okay, no sky besides these pictures, but I will be going away, away off to someplace for awhile. lol. Hope to be back in a few months, but in case you get bored please visit my DeviantArt page below! I have more photos on there than I have posted here (minus some of the really old ones), and I'd love for you to stop by. :-)

This is a silhouette photo of my sister in a jacket looking towards a sunset.There really isn't much to it other than that I told her to look thataway and spread out her arms as shown. I like that pose. :-)

Anyway, here is the original size of that photo, and another set of shots I thought really cool:

Please view full size! ;-D

Hope you liked them, and see you in a few months!

Celebrating 50 posts!

This here is my 51st post, so I'm going to write it celebrating my last entry "Trees" being my 50th! ;-D

I probably could/should post more often, but it seems editing my pics in batches is the easiest.

In other news, it is possible that I'll be gone for up to a month at a time in the upcoming seasons, so I'm notifying you that I will not be able to post at those times, and I do not know how many pictures I would be able to take.


Thank you all for for commenting and appreciating my photography, :-)

Trees

I really like trees. XD And sunsets combined with trees are even better!

These first two are similar to my last entry's "Twin Shadows" photo, but I call them "Look Into The Heavens" and "Twins Aglow", respectively.

Please view in full-size!

 These two are pretty cool and vivid. The one on the left could maybe make a good text border.

Same tree as the last two shots, yet different. Quite plain.

Two AWESOME silhouettes! My favorite photos in this entire entry.

 Decided to have some fun, lol. The top one is the original color.

 Same place, slightly different shots. Kind of randomly done and not very spectacular.

I hope you liked these photos! Which are your favorites? Why?
