Photoshop

This was my first attempt at photoshop. I wanted to bring out the colors a little bit more and lighten up the photo. I think it still looks a little bit grainy, but it is getting better. I also added the picture of San Xavier, which I tried to adjust in Photoshop. I changed it to black and white and adjusted the contrast. Compare it to the originals which I posted previously and let me know which one you like better.

Nigh-time photography trials

After years of using a "Point and Shoot", I finally got a dSLR! I decided on a Canon EOS Rebel XS and love it so far. I went out tonight for my first attempt at night-time photography. It was a lot of fun, but definitely a lot of experimentation. These three shots are of a statue that is located between the De Young Museum and the newly re-opened Academy of Sciences in the Golden Gate Park. In the second picture you can see the moon and a star or planet in the back ground. They all came out a little bit blurry, or grainy. I think it may have been easier if I used a tripod. Let me know what you think!
