All of the images on this site are just what I do for fun. I put them up here to try and get some feedback on what people think. These are not my Professional images for (Weddings or Seniors or anything else) Its just what I do for fun.

Tiger Edgy

2009-02-25T19:35:00.004-05:00

There has been a new trend developing where images are being over processed to create a real edgy and surreal feel to them. I thought I would apply that to this image I captured today at the Zoo. Got to stay up with the latest trends and be able to create that look and feel if a client askes for it. View this image at full size to really appreciate the effect.

Been a little while since Ive uploaded anything new. Here are a few new images Ive made in the last month of so.

We got a new Monitor for the computer. its really cool. its a 24inch hd display and it rotates to look at portrait style images full screen. This image really doesnt do it justice.

Our new Desktop

2008-08-01T15:50:00.001-04:00

Ive been experimenting with creating duotone images. I kinda like how this one came out. I also added a canvas texture to it that I think gives it some character.clicking on it and viewing it full screen is alot better.

Bald Eagle sighting

2008-03-13T22:23:00.004-04:00

These are two Eagles I photographed today in Concord Township. One is a mature Bald Eagle and the other is a juvenile one and hasn't got its white feathers yet. Ive been looking for wild Eagles for a long time and finally found my spot. This is the first time Ive ever been able to photograph a Eagle that wasn't in the Zoo. So cool!!

Makes ya Damn proud to be an American!

Ive been trying to duplicate James Quantz Jr. style of doing animal images . He really creates some killer images. http://quantzgallery.blogspot.com/. I think I got it pretty close with this one.

Its been so cold the last few days of shooting. Many times Ive been getting pretty worried about frostbite on my fingers. Ultimately they have warmed up. I havent run my car off the road trying to warm them up to get home yet so its all good.

Thanks for looking, Mark

New Born Colt

Latest images

2008-02-08T00:31:00.000-05:00

The weather has been so bad lately it has been hard to want to get out and try and get some good images. Me and my beautiful wife Donna went to the Zoo over the weekend and we managed to get a few images I feel are worth posting. This will be the first image Ive posted that Donna has created and I have to say I really love it. Great composition!

Well this is what we've created in the last few days......

Thanks for looking, Mark

My Tiger..

Images from Saturday night

2008-01-26T14:43:00.000-05:00

There is a lady here in town I found that is making her tree and bushes out front all icy like this. She has these lights that illuminate it at night. I thought it was really cool looking. Here are a few shots I took of it last night.

Monday nights images

2008-01-22T17:56:00.000-05:00

Man it was freezing shooting last night. Really glad I have that foam padding on my tripod.

Anyway here is what I shot last night.

Images

2008-01-20T03:14:00.000-05:00

None of my images are just right out of the camera, (although my NIKON does a great job) I add a touch of something to every image I post.....

Saturdays Images

2008-01-19T23:57:00.000-05:00

Please be aware that these images might look different on your monitor than mine if its not color calibrated....

These are a few of the images I created today. Great sunset! I tried to capture it in these pictures. I think my composition could have been better in a few of them but live and learn right. :-)

Thanks for looking, Mark
Clicking on the images will make them bigger.

This last one I call Drinking and Driving... Just kinda came out that way.

Birds of Prey

2008-01-19T15:41:00.000-05:00

These are just two shots I took at the Zoo the other day. It was weird cause every time I moved the Eagle would open his mouth like that so I put the camera on a tripod and used a remote shutter release. I would start walking and when he opened his mouth Id trigger the shutter. The owl was a rather lon exposure but I was lucky he would stay very still and i was able to get a sharp shot of him off.

Lord Photoshop

2008-01-15T00:50:00.000-05:00

People that know me know that Im a huge Photoshop freak.

For those that don't I have 7 years of Photoshop experience. And a year less than that with digital photography.

I have my work on display at the troy road branch of fidelity federal bank.
Im also featured in this months Photoshop User Magazine.

I don't have a life other than amercing myself into my craft.

I currently am self employed

Im building a busyness called Ensign Arts.

Of course my goal with this is to make a living doing what I love to do.

But my real goal is to make this a business that I can help sell my talented friends work as well.

My belief is that the more talent you have behind you the stronger you are!

My goal is to harness that and make all of us the utmost force around!

A few images Ive done this month

2008-01-15T00:34:00.001-05:00

Just a small collection of images Ive made this month.

Wanted to give myself some credibility ...

sharpness is a virtue

2008-01-15T00:07:00.000-05:00

As far as Im concerned if your image aint sharp you shouldn't be proud of it. As much of a pain in the ass as it can be use that tripod. A steady shot is a sharp shot and as I said, sharpness is a virtue. I always have a tripod in my car and use it even when the sun is bright.
