New Photos Out and About Bellingham


Used my new polarizing filter to take a few shots around downtown Bellingham. Then I imported the raw files into Photoshop Elements 6 and did some manipulation of the originals. Here are the results.



UFO's? No, a contemporary chandelier in a downtown office building.

Quist violin's store window invited this shot.

The Flatiron Building (what I call it anyway). Shot into the sun with the polarizing filter, then some fun manipulation using the filters in Photoshop.

A heavily filtered photo of Vancouver jazz legend, Mike Allen. Make a good cover for his next CD?





Do I have a lot to learn, but what fun looking at the world up close and personal and trying to create something beautiful or interesting or bizarre. Having a blast in Bellingham!
