They all have a different look.  Here is a set in from Fallon, Nevada.  A very old abandoned home.  In this first shot I pushed the saturation and Vibrance.  Getting the blue hues in the shadows and the deep red on the window screens.

The Black and White is a simple conversion in Silver Efex Pro.

And this one is the same as the Black and White but did a gradation on the first layer (background).   Erased through the third layer (Silver Efex Pro) to the second layer (original saturated color layer).  I also put a shadow on the title.

BuckfamilyDeer often find solace, security and dinner in local alfalfa fields.  If you had guns pointing at you once a year your place of rest would probably where guns aren’t allowed.  This family definitely wanted to keep me at a great distance.  The fall colors and very late lighting offered some punch to the photograph.

ScarymessFallon, Nevada – the Oasis in the desert.  And the home of some old scary buildings.  This place is real scary.  Literally.  I am not sure who owned or owns this place but…….

Look at it.   WOW!  What a mess.  Kinda looks like my kitchen if my wife is gone or sick for more than a day!

Sorry I couldn’t resist the artsy look on this one.   Shot so many cactus that I had to push the limit.

azwaspLast night when I was on a walk with Tara I photographed this beautifully colored wasp.   This trip I did not carry all my gear that I usually carry, i.e macro flash, etc.  Now I somewhat regret it.  The lighting was really flat.  I could have created more contrast with the background if I had my flash.  Oh well.  Still have a record of a unique insect.    Shot with Nikon D3 and through the 105 f/2.8 macro lens.  I don’t have the rest of the metadata with me but I do know that the ISO was 3200.  Truly amazing technology these days…thanks NIKON!
