Out of Bounds

I’ve been playing with Elements 9 for a couple of weeks and WOW…has it ever improved! The addition of Layer Masks was the most significant change and a very welcome one for those who enjoy compositing. Each version of PSE has always had excellent help but this version has even more in the form of Guided Editing. This image is an example of being guided. The BEST part of the process is that you’re left with a layered document with which you can continue making changes. In other words, PSE now gives you as much control as you want.  CLICK HERE to see some fantastic examples of Out of Bounds images.

Our Navigator

Although we do have a Garmin Navigator, Cloe does a really good job of showing us the right roads to take. Both she and Cleo love RVing and have requested to go to places like CATalina, the CATskills and CATmandu 🙂

Here’s Cloe in HDR. Happy Halloween!

Cleo’s Chair

I haven’t posted a kitty photo in awhile so here is Cleo in his chair.

Collared Lizard

This female Collared Lizard typically hangs out in the same spot on the upper trail at Boyce Thompson Arboretum so you’re likely to get a shot of her if you take that great hike. She was in deep shade so I took a few shots and used Photomatix and some Topaz filters to bring out detail. Captured with Canon 7D and Canon 300mm lens. ISO 400, f/5.7 @ 1/320th sec.

Dog Meets Droid

A dog captured at Boyce Thompson Arboretum by a DroidX. Love this camera 🙂

Sunset Celebration

Cloe (left) was fully enjoying her nightly ritual Sunset Celebration when Cleo decided he wanted to stir things up. A quick pull on his leash let Cloe continue in peace 🙂

Bird in Wildflowers

A montage containing a sweet little bird, two photos of dried flowers, blowing grasses and some rusty metal.

Walking the Cat

Cloe as seen by my DroidX. No post processing!
It’s no wonder this photography is addictive 🙂
