Mondrian Rooms

Several rooms in a house at the Japanese Garden on the Huntington Library grounds. I like how all the lines gave it a “Mondrian” art look. Used a Nikon D3 and 35-70mm lens.

The Desert Dancers

Diana the Huntress

November 14, 2009

I don’t normally go in for the misty desaturated look but it seemed to work on this image because it was so problematic exposure wise without being able to set up some lights or wait until a different time of day. I shot the statue from close up and from a distance in this version and usually waited until no people were in the view. But when this couple stepped in and the guy stood in such a unique manner I couldn’t resist. Used a Nikon D3 and 80-200mm f/2.8 lens at 200mm and processed heavily in Adobe Lightroom 2.

Sun was going down quickly and casting long shadows. The rock in the foreground shadow reminded me of a whales back. Used a Nikon D3 and 14-24mm lens and processed in Lightroom and Photoshop.
