"Process your images. I hope I’m not revealing there is no Santa Claus here, but the truth is that every image in every professional magazine, website, billboard, book, poster, etc has been enhanced in some way, and for good reason. All images can benefit from adjustments in contrast, color, tone, clarity, vibrance, sharpness, cropping, or color. Some need more and some need less, but post processing of your images using any other popular photo-enhancing software is the next logical step after shooting. Many pros believe that a great photo is the equal result of good shooting and good processing. Yep, 50/50."

Buying a camera doesn't make you a photographer. It makes you a camera owner. --Anon.

There are times when I feel like I'm cutting lengths of 2 by 4s with a scroll saw.

All my photography is self explored.

To paraphrase: "I don't know much about art, or photography, but I know what I like."

My photography is not of the world as it is, or as I wish it to be, but as I see it. I suppose, collectively, it could a self portrait. Make of that what you will.

I don't have a particular style, so when I use photoshop I try to do whatever the photo needs to make it a better photo.

A note about my abstractions. They all say Beachhead Photos because they all start as photos.

If anybody cares, I use...
Pentax K100 D Super
Pentax 50-200 lens (my fave)
Sigma EX10-20 wide angle
Pentax AF-360FGZ flash
Adobe Photoshop Elements 9

I also have...
Pentax 18-55 lens
Ricoh XR7 with XR Rikenon 1:2 50mm lens
Ricoh XR Speedlight 240
Vivitar Series1 70-210 lens
A tripod and a monopod (somewhere)

Please don't feel obligated to comment, but if you have something to say, I'm happy to hear it.

To all my contacts: I do look and appreciate your photos. I will leave comments if I have something to say, won't if I don't. If I make you a contact it is because I find your photography interesting and I do look when I can.

A short, hopefully helpful, tutorial. How to make a simple frame

If you fave any of my images and you have no images available to me and/or no contacts, I will block you.
