I'm sure I've seen this shot a few times on this forum... but I enjoy it every time. A lot of PP is like a bull in a china shop: y'know, push this button, that button, see what this slider does... if '4' looks good, maybe slide it up to '10'... Wow, that's different... etc.
But I really like the restricted colour scene here, the softness and delicacy of the image, the way it's almost compressed into two dimensions rather than three. And, anyway, I love silver birches...

The Grand Canyon at Yavapai point about 10 minutes after the sun went down. Again, as I have said over my past images of the Grand Canyon, this is my favorite time to shoot. The colors are spectacular, the tourists disappear and it's just incredible calm and beautiful.
This has been slightly altered in Lightroom. Firstly, it was too dark, so I bumped up the exposure (thanks RAW file). Secondly, it lacked a bit of clarity in the canyon walls, so I bumped that up too. Thirdly I added some warmth to the image to bring back the colors I saw on the day. I left the camera in Auto White Balance and it was wrong.

As winter nears in the interior of Alaska
I'm with Doylem on this one... it's lovely to look at. I think it would make a really nice print or poster... love the softness and subdued colors and tone.
Built a new lightbox the other day!
I need to do that for a weekend project some time.
Thanks to both of you for the nice comments. It's true that I have taken several shots of this trail that are somewhat similar, but with a snow-covered ground. I took the photo this week a day or two before the temperature dropped to 20 degrees F.
All i did to the RAW photo when processing with PSE was to reduce "Clarity" by approximately 35%, which in turn softened the image. I will be printing postcards of it.
Clickable; C&C encouraged.
I like the colors, textures and the DoF - I was just wondering what a Mao lighter, a book on practical engineering, a light bulb, a 10 Yen coin and a 20 Euro Cent coin have to do with each other...
Attached a shot I've taken only 2h ago. C&C welcome!

I can follow the diaper cake theme
My girlfriend made this for one of my cousins, up until she did I had never even heard of a diaper cake. I am quite certain you could give me a full day and I couldn't make one.Attachments

Amazing stuff, tony. Your work is top-notch in every way.

Lol! I guess that explains why I've put them in one sentence...
I have been experimenting with 'ghetto' lighting recently. This is a long exposure shot of a 1:18 scale die cast model McLaren MP4-22. The model was set on a book on the floor of my living room and I hung one of my girlfriend's LBDs on a chair behind it for the black background.
Only light that I used was one of those little LED torches which gives off a nice white light. Played that around the model while camera was on bulb mode for about 2 minutes. Cropped and adjusted exposure slightly in Photoshop.
