Cliff Michaels' photostream  

An old fool with a camera, photoshop and entirely too much free money and time...

My latest published book: VISIONS

VISIONS is a collection of artistic images created from standard digital photographs taken by the author of people, places and things in his quaint and curious corner of the world.

Also take a look at these other titles: Angela and Petals

And check out my first book of photographs: OCOEE! A Wild River Tamed.




While I love photography, I am more interested in using a photo as a starting point to create, via photoshop, something...different. In this digital age no photograph can be trusted. Mine are no exception. Every image in my stream has been modified to some extent. Some beyond recognition. Some in very subtle, hidden ways.

As of this date (1/26/11) my camera bag holds five lenses (50mm prime, two 18-55mm zooms, and 55-200 zoom, and the Quantaray 70-300mm), a 2x doubler, closeup filter set, a speed flash and various filters and other camera bric a brac. What a great hobby! You can always find something to spend that extra cash on.
My camera: NIKON D5000 --------+-------- Software: Photoshop Elements 9

Other cameras: D50, D40 and iPhone 4
