Digital photography isn’t just about pointing the camera and pressing the trigger. I do a decent amount of post-processing to my images to get the look I want or correct the mistakes I made. I usually try to limit my post work to the features I have in Adobe Lightroom. This pretty much matches anything […]

This photo was a result of lots of patience and lots of dud photos. The monkey was sitting behind a tree at dusk but stayed in the shadow of the tree trunk he was tied to. Every so often he would peer around the tree to look at people and put his face in that […]
