July 18th - Emanata



Today a small group of photographers and I went on our Friday Harbor Photowalk. I can't wait to see everyone's photos. This is one I shot of my shadow on the water and it shows a phenomenon I've seen many times but never photographed - the "sun rays" emanating outward from my head. I don't know what causes them but I'm sure it has something to do with science. Be sure to look at the larger version. Anyway I thought it looked cool, so I enhanced it a bit with photoshop. (but not too much - here's the original)

  4. That is a very cool shot. It must hae been interesting walking with other people and seeing how they work and what inspires them.

  6. Thanks everyone! Lance - I just bumped the blue up a bit in photoshop. And some sharpening and a bit of contrast as well.
