Antique Water Faucet

I have my first photo that I want to print and frame! I absolutely love this photo!! I have started to volunteer at the Matheson Museum, helping Jess with some administrative stuff that with her incredibly busy schedule she just can't get to. I went up there on Saturday to work on some things, and while I waited for her to get settled I decided to take some photos of the Tison Tool Barn and the Matheson House. I came early and had about 45 minutes to kill. I got some great shots, including some of this antique water faucet.

Once at home I put them into the Mac and started to play with it in photoshop. I was originally trying to make variations of it to try out a technique called "HDR" which I was unsuccessful at. And one of the variations was this photo. I amped the contrast all the way up and added some brightness. That was all. And the color was amazing. It just popped, and became so vivid. Check it out:



As you can see I have also started adding my signature "lesliedigs" to my photos. This lends some sort of copyright function to them. I try to make it blend in as much as possible without taking away or becoming distracting from the photo.
