Hey everyone! Every once in a while I like to post a quick quiz to see if you can tell how a photo was created. Please leave a comment telling me how you think this photo was made, including how it was exposed, manipulated, etc.

Mountains and Fog

This is one of the views from a recent wedding I shot. While people were enjoying some of the live music I got away for a moment to capture this amazing landscape.

Here’s a shot of the moon and the first star of the night as the sun set over Mesa, Arizona. It can also be seen in my Project 365 To 30 on Flickr.

Lightning Photography Arizona

So, for my latest 365 to 30 photo I decided to make this beauty. This makes number 32 in my project. I took this shot 2 years ago…actually it’s 3 different shots that I brought together in Photoshop CS3. I boosted the colors to bring out the nice shades of purple, pink and orange that were going on due to the sunset happening out of the scene. Enjoy!

Arizona Storm — Panoramic Photo

Larry — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 02:15:20 +0000

Many of you know that the summer storms here in Arizona are amazing! I try to get out whenever one hits because the sights are worth capturing. Here’s another panoramic I created from 5 shots I got recently. I put them together using Photoshop CS3 and adjusted the color a little. Enjoy!

Arizona Sunset Panoramic

Last night the sunset was amazing. I decided to make a panoramic image and took 5 photos across the scene. I stitched them together in Photoshop CS3 and enhanced the color a little. I really love the result. You can also find this photo as today’s image for my Project 365 on Flickr.

Monochrome Photography

Here are a few monochrome photos I’ve been working on lately. All of these were shot in-camera black and white. I did some cropping, sharpening, dodging and burning in Photoshop CS3.

Liquid Sculpting

Larry — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 05:32:36 +0000

Martin Waugh is the genius behind Liquid Sculpture. With an extensive background in physics and computer programming, he has developed a very unique way to photograph water and other liquid drops. His work inspires me and puts me in the mood to be creative. Here are a few photos I made recently. Enjoy!

Inspiration

Larry — Tue, 25 May 2010 20:59:40 +0000

Many of you know that my dad is an awesome photographer. It’s always been a hobby for him, ever since taking his photography class at BYU in the ’70′s. My dad has always been an inspiration to me and the main photographic influence throughout my life. It was on his 35mm film SLR’s that I learned how to shoot. He was the one who bought me my first SLR and my interest and passion for photography has grown many times over since that Christmas gift was taken out of the box.

The photo below was taken in Wyoming, near Jackson Hole during a family trip in the summer of 1995. I don’t know all of the technical details of the exposure, film type, etc. But I do know that I love this image and that it has had no work in photoshop, etc. Thanks dad for being so amazing with a camera and for always being an example of humility when it comes to how good you really are.
