lite bright

After a week of packing madness, a photoshoot was in order. Yes? I had *almost* all of my stuff packed up on Friday night, so Saturday I was free to hang out with dma & his brother, aka the butcher. We headed over to butcher's neck of the woods, grabbed some west side teriyaki & headed to the docks!

These first three pics are from a group of old railcars that we came across on our adventures.

These two boat scenes were taken from a waterfront park with interesting picnic shelters that I may, or may not have already visited. I used in-camera black & white. pretty dang cool!

These three are my lite bright series... I used a soft-focus on the waterfront lights. I love them. It was more challenging than I expected, but I had fun trying to get the right speed (to eliminate motion blur in the water) enough light (so I didn't have a black picture!) and focus (so that the lights didn't look too perfect...)

This concludes my post for today... I am exhausted, but wanted to get a few images up before too much time passed. OH one more thing... I took these pictures in both jpeg & raw, but ended up editing off of the jpegs. PLUS, the black & white pics (in-camera) and the soft focus frames are all unedited. nice, eh? Hope that the windy weather is treating you well & thanks for checking out this round of pics!
