Bird time

Most of the pictures I have been taking this year have been with my iPhone. However, with birds, I needed my Cannon R5 for the longer lens. I looked for great light and food for the birds to come. Found both and came up with this picture.

Woodpecker

After looking at this, I wonder two things. What would it look like on a magazine cover?

Last, I wondered what it would look like as a painting. Using Photoshop AI I came up with the following.

What you can do with a single bird. I am thinking about having on canvas the painting of this bird. I like it as a painting. I'm looking forward to getting out more this year for more pictures.

Movie Night

Well, in Ohio, it's going to be a cool weekend. It's time for my wife to sit at home and watch some Netflix. When I think of movies, I also think of popcorn. With that in mind, I took a picture of some popcorn with my iPhone, thinking about using this picture sometime.

Popcorn with the iPhone

With the help of Adobe, I thought I would make a fun add, and this is what I came up with.

Well, its time to sit back and warm up and have some popcorn. Maybe even think about what will the next picture be.

Great Meal

Last week, Lisa and I went to a local restaurant in Bryan, Ohio, and I think I may have had the best Veal Parmesan I ever had with Gnocchi. This year, I have been doing more with my iPhone, and this was no exception. It was not the best light, but it worked for me for a quick picture. Now, off to the next restaurant and/or city.

The Grasshopper

One of my favorite drinks is the Grasshopper. We always looked forward to it after our Christmas dinner. During St Patrick's Day, the restaurant we were at was offering it. I had to have one. It was so good. Out came the iPhone, and I took a picture, not knowing if I would use the photo or not. Learning Adobe Illustrator, I made this layout for practice and fun.

Making a New Promo

I have been having a lot of fun with photography and will continue to. I am also having fun with video, and part of that is learning Adobe Premiere and After Effects. Between my camera and iPhone, I have been learning a alot. One of the projects i wanted to do for a long time was a promo of my business. Finally got at it and had a great time learning Adobe After Effect. Here is what I came up with, and it is now my main page as you enter my website.

I have other ideas, and I continue playing and learning videos. Stay tuned for more videos. Today, they say video is hotter but hanging a video on your family room wall is not possible, at least not today. Being a Freelance photographer is fun you can do just about anything.
