I read an article written by a professional landscape photographer. He mention that it is a good idea to take notes about photos that were taken. Once you have to of about something to write about, you would be forced to put more thoughts on photo you would take. So here it is:

I took this picture sometimes back in early Fall last year at Minnehaha Creek in Minneapolis, with the 85mm f/1.8 lens. It was quite windy that day, made it real challenging for my autofocus-only eyes. Only few pictures turn out 'sharp' enough for post processing. For this picture, I did layer mask, keep out the bokeh area and applied USM to leaves area. Then I duplicated (overlay) layer and desaturated the top one and merge them. Nothing is too spectacular here by the way. :)

Publication

One of my Weisman Art Museum pictures got published in METRO Magazine, a local publication in Minneapolis - Saint Paul metro area. It is quite a neat feeling when seeing my work on bookstand.

A little info about this shot:

I stood on the upper desk of Washington Avenue bridge (lower desk is non-pedestrian access) about mid-way from east bank and west bank. It was a late afternoon with soft golden sunlight, which works nicely with asymetric shape of the building's front facade. Then, I did some works in Photoshop to bring up colors and contrast. The result is as we see in this picture.

A little info about the building:

Frank Gehry designed this building in early 1990s not too long before his famous Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. You might notice some similarity between these two spectactular buildings.
