The other night we drove around the industrial area of West Jordan out by the brick factory. We found several buildings that have metal siding. I had the kids jump out and stand by the wall while I snapped pictures. I think the color contrast turned out the best with these.
This picture was taken from the tram on the way up to the top of Snowbird. It really is fun to see the fall colors, with the deep green pine trees and then a skiff of snow on the ground.
I had to walk through the snowy forest to get this picture. The sound of the stream was so peaceful, and it really added to the picture.
Here is a nice B&W picture of my daughter that I used "Surface Blur" on. It really made her skin smooth, even in B&W.
Here is a picture of my nephew that I added noise to. He had such a serious look on his face, I couldn't help but emphasize it by adding the noise.
Here is a fun picture of my son that I edited in Photoshop. I used the "Surface Blur" feature to get his skin to have that soft glow.
Today I took the kids up to Snowbird because they had a special deal for riding the tram. If you bring a canned food, you get a free ride up the tram. We brought some cans and rode the tram up to the very top. It was really cold and the ground was covered with snow. We quickly ran into the warming hut to wait out the remanider of the time until the tram left (20 minutes). On our way out I was snapping pictures of the kids as they were coming down the stairs of the warming hut. When I took this one, I was blown away. I couldn't believe how naturally perfect it was. There is no post-editing of this picture!
