I have been tagged again this time by &

1. Spain is on the top of my list of places to visit.

2. I am a fairly organized person yet my room is a complete disaster.

3. I am lucky in that I have a family cottage nearby that I can stay at for free and make images. This allows me to get away more often than I would be able to otherwise.

4. I have a love for Architecture yet I hardly ever photograph Structures.

5. I live in the fastest growing area of Canada so it makes getting around very slow at times.

6. I hate the cold but I love the snow and ice if there was a way to have warm weather and snow at the same time I would be set.

7. Photography pretty much consumes my life.

8. Here's my new account which will be more for experimental work.

How I get to my final Image

So first I would like to say a little bit about my photography and how I end up with my final image. I prefer to do as much work in the field while shooting the images as possible and the least amount of post processing possible. I have never used the HDR technique I achieve my results by using a combination of ND grad filters regular ND's and a polarizer. I do sometimes have odd colours for example in the sky in my images but this is due to the slight to extreme in some cases, colour cast inherent in all Neutral Density Filters. I try to correct this later in Photoshop to achieve a more realistic colour. The only post processing that I do is Curves and Colour Temperature and sometimes correct for Chromatic aberration in Camera RAW. Then in Photoshop I will clean up scensor dust, maybe dodge and burn, possibly crop the image and finally use Unsharp Mask. I never use colour saturation at all, the colours I get are from shooting at the right time of day. I also do not use any filters in Photoshop.
