Fun With Topaz Labs Adjust

January 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Topaz Labs Adjust

Topaz Labs Adjust 4 is a Pho­to­shop plug-in. It also works with Light­room, Aper­ture and oth­ers pro­grams. Adjust is pow­er­ful expo­sure, detail, color and noise adjust­ment fil­ter. You can cre­ate HDR like pho­tos from a sin­gle photo. Adjust can also turn a plain photo into a stun­ning fine art photo in just min­utes. You are only lim­ited by your own imag­i­na­tion. Once you have cre­ated what you like, you can save the set­tings as a pre­set for your future work. I like Topaz Labs Adjust  4 for its abil­ity to bring back the color, detail and expo­sure to what I saw when I first pho­tographed an object. I also used Adobe Light­room for some minor final adjust­ments. I can highly rec­om­mend Topaz Labs Adjust and all the other plug-ins in the Topaz Labs bun­dle. I use them all. The Video below has some exam­ples of before and after pho­tos using Topaz Labs Adjust 4.

The Ghosts Of Leadville Colorado in HDR

July 27, 2009 By 1 Comment

The pho­tos in this gallery were shot in and around Leadville Col­orado. Leadville is an old min­ing town set at an ele­va­tion over 10000 feet above sea level. Vis­it­ing the old build­ings around the town bring up thoughts of  ghosts from the 1880’s. Each photo  in this Gallery starts off as 3 sep­a­rate pho­tographs at 3 dif­fer­ent expo­sures  and com­bined with a process called HDR or High Dynamic-Range. This allows one to see the detail in the shad­ows and high­lights. It also has the abil­ity to cre­ate some pretty cool spe­cial effects.

Bears in a Rockrimmon Tree

July 7, 2009 By 1 Comment

Bears in a Rock­rim­mon Tree in Col­orado Springs

On the morn­ing of 6/30/2009  a friend of mine, Bar­bara called me with a sit­ing of 3 bear cubs and mother bear in a tree in their back­yard.  So I loaded up my photo gear and headed down in hopes of  pho­tograph­ing these bears. The bears were asleep on dif­fer­ent parts of the tree between 30′ to 50′ up. After the cubs awoke they were play­ing and climb­ing   all over the tree while mom was still asleep. After the cubs woke-up their mom they all climbed down to the base of the tree and the 3 bear cubs enjoyed a deli­cious breakfast.

Michigan

June 1, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I grew up in the town of War­ren, Michi­gan, just north of Detroit, but this is not about War­ren and when I was born my par­ents bought a piece of land in Green­bush, Michi­gan, on Lake Huron. Shortly after that they built a small cabin which my mother still owns today. I have fond mem­o­ries of week­ends and sum­mers spent up north at the cabin. We have lived in sev­eral places around the coun­try like Palmer, Mass­a­chu­setts, Phoenix, Ari­zona, and our home for the last 16 years Col­orado Springs, but I always look for­ward to a visit to the cabin up north in Green­bush.  The pho­tos in this gallery were taken in North­ern Michi­gan which includes the areas around the towns of Oscoda, Green­bush, Har­risville, Presque Isle, Tra­vers City, North­port and The Sleep­ing Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. I hope you enjoy the pho­tos of my home in Michi­gan. My next trip to Michi­gan. I plan to travel to the upper Penin­sula and the North Shore of Lake Supe­rior in Canada.
