Sort of an abstract macro - wanted to see what I could do in Adobe Camera RAW; overexposed by a lot, probably 4 stops, then brought it down in ACR and played with the contrast and curves settings. Then took it into PS and cropped pretty far, guassian blur and USM to smooth the edges out, and resized and saved.

A shot with the fisheye, processed quite a bit to get the wild colors.

Another shot from last weekend in Albuquerque. Processed this one with a program called PhotoMatix, and did an 'HDR' from different conversions of the RAW file.

I got a new fisheye lens - here's one of the shots with it. A self portrait, showing my messy room. I'm too lazy for EXIF on shots like this where it's not important :P
The lens is a Peleng 8mm, I like it so far. Definitely not a do-it-all lens, though...

We went to the state fair this weekend - my cat photo did really well, better than I've ever done at the fair. It won a first place, best of show, and judge's choice! My other photo, of the moving water (they're all on my portfolio at DPC) also got first place, and my landscape got an honorable mention.
The second photo is from the top of the Sandia mountains - my dad and I took the tram up to the top, and hiked around for a while taking pictures, then came back down. It's really cool, I recommend it to anyone who's in the area.

Just a landscape I shot. Practiced some processing, I removed a couple clouds in this version, might have been a bad choice. Used my polarizer filter.

A seagull. I felt like updating it, so I picked a random old picture and processed it weirdly.
