Fall EWU Photo Walk

I shot this on a photo walk last week. It is of an architectural element of the University Recreation Center at EWU. I used Lightroom 2 to pull out a more punchy, dynamic exposure. The cranked Saturation and Vibrance make this pop.



Here's a shot of Showalter Hall. I love the way a 17mm lens distorts the perspective.



Here's a shot of Patterson Hall. The oak trees turn a nice orange color in the fall. The 80mm lens setting forces the background nicely out of focus.

Turkeys

Here's a shot I took in the spring of 2008. The exposure was terrible. The white balance was shifted extremely pink. I used Lightroom 2 to pull a reasonable exposure. I cranked the vibrance up to pull some richness in the colors. I love what vibrance does to polarized windows, it turns them a beautiful shade of teal blue. It was exciting seeing wild turkeys foraging around on the front lawn of Showalter Hall.
