Warrior Angel

This is another image for my Photoshop class. In this we had to combine two different images to make one using various masks. I choose the Warrior Angel statue from the Montana Veterans Memorial here in Great Falls and added the sunset cloudy sky to the background to increase the effect. - Todd

Photo Concepts and Design

Here are a few pictures from my Photo Concepts and Design class. The sunrise was taken from our deck. The flag series, taken in various places, was a set where you had to have one common object in different contexts. - Todd

Jeffrey did a little modeling for me. He did quite well! - Todd

A little experimenting

So we have been studying HDR and Panorama development in my Photoshop class and I've been out experimenting with it a bit. Here are a couple of my better images. - Todd

Spider Webs....

Ethan, Brendan and I went for a walk along the River's Edge Trail yesterday morning and I found these interesting spider webs on the bridge near Black Eagle Dam. I thought they turned out pretty cool.

First post from the fall semester

So the fall semester has begun...and one of the classes I am taking is People Photography. Not that I am a big fan of people photography, but it is something I certainly need work with and need to learn more about.

My first assignment was a self-portrait...which makes things worse, not only do I have to make an image of a person, it has to be me :-(

My second assignment, which I am posting here, I had to take three images of one person, the first in direct sunlight, the second in the shade and the third in the shade using a reflector or some other form of fill light. So, when the sun broke out yesterday, I grabbed Ethan and told him I was going to take some pictures of him. I haven't received my grade on the assignment yet but I was happy with how they turned out.
