First Spring Hike

Bryan and I went hiking this weekend in the hills down by Old Fort. We found some crocuses up and discovered some of the hills ripped up for a massive sand/gravel pit. This picture doesn't nearly show the scope of it, and some of the woods we'd hiked through were marked off for further destruction.

An "Amy" photo

Corey saw this and said "That's an Amy photo". I don't really intend to always shoot dead stuff, or garbage, or rusted, rotten things. It just ends up that way.

I shot this flower when it was fresh as well, but I ended up liking this one better. I like the subtlety of the tones and patterns of the veins in the petals.

I'm now officially a Mac person (instead of a wannabe with a Mac sticker on my PC). I'm amazed every time it just WORKS. I got Lightroom, and this is my first experimentation with it (this photo makes use of the clarity and vibrance adjustments). Although I'm missing the way IMatch lets you categorize your photos in a hierarchical structure pleasing to any neurotic organizer rather than a cloud of keywords, I am loving Lightroom's editing features. Looks like I won't even have to touch Photoshop for most of my editing.
