Railroad cars

I shot this image a year or so ago...just loved the look of it, reminded me of days going to railroad yards to sample hopper cars with my Dad.

Peek-a-boo

Small Towns...

Went driving through some small towns yesterday and found this gorgeous little building...would be a great location for senior shoots...just love the color...not to mention the old trunk in the window...

Going through some old images...

I found this old barn image...decided it was worthy of posting

Love the sound here...LOL

Allis-Chalmers and Ford Tractor Emblems

Old Ford Trucks...

Helped my neighbor this weekend take some items out to his burn pile on his farm.  Saw some really cool old vehicles that I just had to go back and take pictures of...here's the images:

A little side shoot while taking engagement pictures for Wesley and Lana Saturday...

Super Moon

An amazing Super Moon Saturday Night...it was really windy...was having a lot of movement due to the wind but still managed to get a decent shot...

Weekend shots...

I just love this first shot, the depth and simplicity of it all...the warmth of the colors...just gorgeous.

McComb Signature Studio

I've been working on a logo for my son Wesley, through various revisions I think this might be the final...I'd love feedback, comments, etc. 

You can check out Wesley's blog here:  McComb Signature Studio

Spring Tulips

Always has to be one odd ball in the group...

Roger's Semi

Grandpa wanted a picture of his truck...here you go Rog!

URL looking for Chester...

Just thought this was a cute image of URL looking for his big brother...

Looking through the glass...

This image was shot at night without flash through the glass of a local antique shop. I just love the warmth of it plus the look of a time so long ago. It's awesome some of the things you find when out for a walk at night.

Wesley McComb...

This is an old video, but an AWESOME one...my son Wesley composed this piece, he's been talking about returning to music...I'm hoping by posting it here that people will leave comments of encouragement which will move him to return to his passion sooner.

Morning Fog...

Sunday morning, heading for the Comet trail to take the boys for a morning fun run and ran across this little area of fog, we were almost too late...but shot this image before it was all gone...

Ok...so of course I've got to post a couple shots of the boys and their adventure.  As I was trying to capture this image of Chester, URL decided to sneak up behind me and use me as a towel by rubbing his soaking wet body on my leg...Carla says he just loves me, me...I think he's just a little SH@#!

Chester:

And a of course have to show one of the monster URL (pronounced Earl...)

URL had a most excellent day!!!  He even got to chase a deer...

Adobe Photoshop CS6 Beta

Photoshop CS6 Beta was released today...downloaded it, can't wait to try it, watched some of the Lynda.com new feature videos...all I can say is:  AWESOME!!!

Candid Shots...

So this is an old shot but worthy of showing what can be done with a shot taken while just walking down a street and turning it into a very cute print which really should be framed...I just wished I could have got their names so I could have given them a print...if anyone knows this family please contact me or share this page with them...

So here's the original image straight out of the camera:



And the final image processed in Photoshop:



Textures...

Went out Sunday morning and captures some new textures for use in overlays...its always amazing what you find just going out in the woods.  Here are just two:

Prairie grass, I just love the warmth:

One big rock:

And the example of what happens when you overlay a texture onto a photo...lets begin with this original image:

Next to apply the Prairie Grass as a "soft light" overlay:

Commercial Look...

Finally had a chance to look at some of the images shot while visiting my son Wes and his fiance Lana, we visited the art museum while in their neck of the woods.  Took this image while overlooking the food court, just love the colors, if a brochure were being produced this would be a perfect image to include.
