2011 Fair Entries

Here are the entries I made to the Eastern Idaho State Fair this year.  Some of the photos you have seen before.  I have 11 photos here.  I couldn't decide which of the fireworks photos to enter so I waited until they came in print and then I decided.  I got two ribbons.  One for the picture with the flowers/chairs, and the other for the tinted side view picture of my daughter.

Go in and check out all the beautiful pictures from all the talent in our area.

Week 19 - Grain

This was taken August 1, 2010.  I'm still working on a slideshow for the farm last year and all it's events.

update:  This photo was picked in Cabin Fever's June 2011 photography contest as the winner.  How exciting!!

Week 14 - Spring Break

Week 7 - Bald Eagle

Ok, I can't take credit for taking this picture but I did edit it a few different ways.  Gary saw this bald eagle one night (January 14, 2011) and started snapping pictures.  I wish the composition was a little different but at the same time I like how the Eagle is framed by the trees and I felt if I cropped too much it took away from that.

Week 3 - Different Edits

Do you remember the post from last summer when Gary and I went to Kaycee, Wyoming?

Here are some more pictures that I was trying to practice my editing on. Let me know what you like or dislike about each one? I'd like to know.

This is SOOC (straight-out-of-camera).  I used my Canon PowerShot SX120 IS Point & Shoot Camera.

On this edit I adjusted the levels and boosted the contrast and colors a bit.

I just added some lightning to the boosted edit from above.  I thought it would be fun.  :)

I added a texture to this one which boosted the colors quite a bit.

Week 1 - January 2, 2011

Here is my first photo for the 52 week challenge that I'm going to try to do. Maybe I'll do better than the 365 day challenge. Right now I'm not doing a theme for each week but may start that up later.

Wildflowers

Idaho Falls Temple

This is the Idaho Falls Temple.  I took this when I took my Brother's Family pics.  I had some fun editing it too.
