It is the biggest fundraiser benefit for charities and other groups. Planning for the events surrounding it go on all year as it includes dances,rodeos,a parade,a carnival and other events. Last night Lenore and I went down to the carnival. She wanted to ride the ferris wheel and I wanted to photograph the colorful rides and carnival atmosphere. We both walked away happy. Today is the parade BBQ and the rodeo.It's going to be a full day. Blessings and happy Fourth of July to all, chris PS: Part two of the round up is still on its way. Camera Equipment Used- Canon 7D, Canon 10-22 lens. Manfrotto 055XPROB Tripod with a 3055 Ballhead. Camera Settings Used- Manual mode,ISO 100, Shutter speeds and F stops varied.

Variations on a Theme

All of a sudden water and oil images have reappeared on the photo scene and seem to be a minor rage on some of the photography sites that I visit. I must admit that they are fun to do especially on a rainy night or when there isn't much going on. Tonight wasn't like that but I was thinking about different ways to process the image in Photoshop once it has been created. That is how I decided upon variations on a theme. I processed the same image in three different color tones and then placed them upon a completely different image to set them off. I really liked the final result.It's bright and colorful.

God bless,
