The Wow Factor
I’ve been doing some experimenting with different editing on my photographs – mainly some of the wedding photos that I took this summer. As my fiancee and I have been looking for a photographer for our wedding, I’ve realized that there is a certain style that I really like; that I’d like to be able to emulate and produce with my images. Characteristics that categorize this style are lots of natural light, lens flares, lots of DOF (depth of field), and slight color alterations to make the image less “vivid” and more natural. Since my wedding photography style is still evolving, I re-edited two of the pictures from Zac and Lisa’s wedding with these things in mind. The original edit and the re-edit of both of them are posted below. I titled this post “The Wow Factor” because I think that the two new versions of these pictures create just that when compared to the previous images. See for yourselves.

Holiday ORD, Part 2
This is a follow up post to my Holiday ORD, Part 1 post below. It is appropriately titled Holiday ORD, Part 2. Of all the Chicago pictures that I’ve seen over the years, I haven’t seen very many from inside the biggest airport in the Midwest. I’m proud of these last two sets of images, simply because I wanted to capture some memorable shots while I was waiting at O’Hare, and I feel as though I succeeded. The last post contained 3 images. I threw a bonus image into this post for your enjoyment… so enjoy! If you’d like to share it with friends for their enjoyment, there is a share bar at the bottom of this post (and every post) with a bunch of options such as email, twitter, facebook.
Holiday ORD, Part 1
For those of you who don’t know, ORD is the airport abbreviation for O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. I flew out of O’Hare in late November to end my Thanksgiving trip home. Since I was flying home on the Sunday after Thanksgiving and the TSA is always a little frisky, I figured that security and long lines would be a huge hassle. Well, it didn’t take me nearly as long to get to my gate as I thought it would, resulting in a lot of down time. I had my camera with me… Camera? Down time? Christmas-decorated airport? Please see below for part one of the results. Part two will come later this week.
