Best of the Week

I took this at Nakatos Japanese Restaurant. The chef guy was putting on a show for us and light an tower of onions on fire. I took the shot with my Nikon D80 on the auto setting with the flash on. I was surprised with the turn out of the image and how black the background was in relation to the orange flame. I really love this image, its all natural with no photoshop retouching at all which really makes me love it more.

Final Piece

Final Piece - I'm not very satisfied with all of the color but I did achieve the romanticized blue horse that was my original plan. I like the print better on screen rather than actually printed. I feel like the colors are projected better on the screen and printing makes the whole image flat.

Work In Progress

It is progressively getting better.

Best Image of the Week

This is an image I took while walking to my one night. It was a quick snapshot that I thought turned out beautifully. The way the light from the street lamps cast a repetitive shadow on the side walk really captured my eye. And the gradient of the night sky fading into the horizon is just plain awesome. Therefore, this is one of my best photos this week.
