FedEx vs DHL, originally uploaded by ronWLS.

Another fun shot from my summer vacation and the great flight my friend took my on. Don’t remember what airport this was but there were a bunch of FedEx planes and a single DHL plane. It’s probably kind of close to the actual ratio of the 2 companies.
For some reason some of my previous photos that I’ve worked on from the flight didn’t get very good color IMO. I did an auto WB on this and it seems to be a bit better.

A shot from the photo walk in Redding. For the second year I was privileged to be a leader in Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk. It’s a great experience and I’ve met some great photographers in the process.

A little b&w effect that I call headlights noir.

365/128 – New Zebra, originally uploaded by ronWLS.

Yzzie’s 1st birthday on Saturday. It all was a bit overwhelming to her but there were bright moments like when she got her new riding zebra.

365/127 – Afternoon Cloud, originally uploaded by ronWLS.

I had to turn around and find a place to get a shot of this cloud. It was just too interesting to resist. I believe there were some thunderstorms this day as there often is over Mt Lassen.

365/126 – Really Post, originally uploaded by ronWLS.

OK. I’ve tried to refrain from this but it has to be done occasionally. I got a 3rd strobe and need to start working with it to see what I can do. Unfortunately I didn’t write down the lighting info and now I don’t remember all but I did have the 430EX II and reflective umbrella high camera right and the Vivatar and shoot thru umbrella low camera left fired with the optical slave. I had my new (old) promaster flash as a hair light with the Honl grid. This was fired with a Promaster module as a slave. The Canon strobe was fired with the RadioPopper JrX and the main light.
And Oh yeah. I used some Topaz Adjust and PS filters to try and pretty the portrait up. (ha! ha!)

365/125 – MarketFest, originally uploaded by ronWLS.

Here is one from Marketfest and the Zydeco band that played. I really didn’t like how it turned out so I used a photoshop artistic filter and give it the filmgrain effect.

Here is the mountain shortly before the sun set.

365/123 – Siblings, originally uploaded by ronWLS.

Here is my favorite set of siblings. A quick shot taken after a summer swim.
