I recently came across a photoshop plug-in that lets me add frames and borders to pictures. I like the flexibility of being able to add some of these types of effects to photos and usually clients love these type of effects especially for portraits. Here are just 4 examples on the same image, but you can get the idea of how flexible this can become through adding backgrounds and frames and borders on just about anything. Though it is nice to keep in mind that these types of effect are just that, effects and the photo itself is what is being displayed so sometimes these things aren’t necessary but they do add a nice touch sometimes.

Here are a few more pictures from our recent trip to Hanksville. I wanted to show the difference between some black and whites and their color originals to display that while some images come out completely stunning when converted to black and white sometimes the color version is much better, but it is always a matter of artistic opinion. Enjoy the examples.

Over Christmas break we were down in Hanksville, UT and had the opportunity to head over to an area referred to as Cedar Point. Below is just one of the great views there. This gallery also demonstrates the technique of making a panoramic image out of 2 or 3 images. The first image in the gallery is basically all you can get with a single shot of this view, taken at a fairly wide angle. The next 3 shots are HDR’s of 3 different angles of the same scene. Finally the 5th image is the panoramic combination of those 3 pictures. You’ll notice the panoramic is nowhere near perfect as there is a slight bending of the horizon at the 2 points where the images meet, but overall the beauty that you can capture is much more stunning with a panoramic shot than is achievable with just one wide angle shot. Enjoy.
