Dilapidated Old Farm

I snuck onto an old abandoned farm a couple days ago. These are the resulting pictures, I did an HDR effect on them using Lightroom.

Beautiful Girl

These photos were taken in a studio, the top photos I played with split toning in photoshop. I like the effect it made: moody and dark.

Scotland

Portrait of Betsy. Betsy's love of Scotland lead us to driving all over the countryside on a stormy afternoon. It was wonderful. The landscapes are so sweeping and the architecture ranged from quaint churches to ominous nuclear power plants.

Portrait of Alyssa

For this portrait I had Alyssa stand in a bay window so soft sunlight was hitting her from all sides-it was a cloudy day. Asking an 8-year-old to be serious can yield interesting results
