Photoshop

The picture above was taken of the Santa Monica Pier, where the Pacific Park is located. The name of the photographer is Toby(Yang) Yu. You can find more of his work at

This is my edited version of his picture. All i did was up the brightness and the contrast making it m ore vibrant and colorful, like the summertime! I used the clone stamp tool to get rid of the person on the sand and used the eclipse selection tool to select only the pier. I erased everything else with a soft focus brush making so that all of the attention is being put on solely the pier. Doing this also added the white vignette effect which i really liked...

I don't know why clicking this picture makes you view the other one.... to view completely, see either my photostream on flickr

Water Portrait

Here is me trying to photograph water falling along with a portrait.

Due to not raining lately I made my brother use the water hose.

I used the long lens and the on camera flash on the TV mode.

I added an effect that alters the colors and adds a vintage.

Tell me what you guys think!

Long Exposure

This is just a set of a few pictures I've taken using longer exposure times.

None of these pictures are edited except for maybe some cropping.

And I'm sorry you cant view most of the pictures in another window,

I don't know why that happened.

This picture was taken on a walk bridge by my house. I set the shutter speed on my camera to 30sec and just left it. I think I lowered the exposure also.

This picture is actually an attempt at same picture above. I accidentally bumped the tripod so it came out like this.

This is a picture I took a few months ago while me and my friend were on his roof looking for a, believe it or not, green comet. That small white dot in the middle of the picture is actually a star, while the other lights are from nearby homes or street lights.

This picture was taken on my way to Las Vegas. I was in the car when I took this, most of these trails of light are actually far away homes and buildings.

This picture, amazingly, only took me one try. I usually have to play around with longer exposures to see what looks good. I was satisfied with the first capture. Once again, I set the shutter to 30sec and just moved a little key chain light around the bottle.

This is also a long exposure picture even though it may not seem like it. I held the same key chain light I used for the bottle picture above her head. The light isn't bright enough for a regular picture, which is why I set the shutter speed for a longer time so it could capture more of the light. One thing about this picture that I don't like is that the camera was on Manual Focus and I forgot to focus it to her face, so it's a little blurry.

OK so i took my ex girlfriend to mission bay

she decided to live me behind and walk in front of me

i saw the sunset and her looking at it so i stepped back and took this

i walking back home and i turn to my right and saw the bright sun going down

and took the picture(i have a thing for the sun ha !)i personally like how the sun rays stand out and make every ting else look like a solute

my baby nephew. i swear after i took the picture he gave an evil look

Well i hope u guys like them and give me some feed back on what you think

I thought i did a good job on this so, im sharing it hopefuly you guys like.

Hello!!!

Hey everybody, its Renzo. I spoke at your photo club a couple of weeks back, just wanted to drop by and let you know that it was nice to get to meet the that were there that day and that i have been impressed with some of the photos that you guys have been taking lately. I want to encourage you to keep shooting every opportunity that you get and to keep experimenting and pushing the limits of the gear that you have and what you have learned.

I also wanted to leave you with some links to 3 sites that have given me a great deal of information and have helped me learn A LOT, but also from some photographers whos work i greatly admire and look up too
