A Walk at Ernie Miller Park
Three random shots during an otherwise uneventful walk through Ernie Miller Park.
What do you think? Any tips, tricks, or feedback on the photos below?
Ernie Miller Park Photo #1. I took a few shots into direct sunlight with my new filter. While this was my favorite, I feel mostly lukewarm about it.
Ernie Miller Park Photo #2. I liked that I could hike up a steep incline on this side of the bridge in order to get a different perspective than all of the other bridge photos I’ve taken so far this year. I would like this shot better if there was more than a trickle of water beneath the bridge.
Ernie Miller Park Photo #3. This may be my favorite shot from the day.

They’e all good. How about trying black and white?
Thanks! Good idea! Which shot screams black & white to you most?
The first one
My favourite shot is no.2, I like the composition. Have you tried taking different exposures of the same photo and then blend them in Photoshop ? I’m asking because these photos are good candidates to try this. Not that they’re not fine, they’re beautiful, but blending different exposures of the same photo really enhance the photo. You’d need a tripod though.
Dear Inspired, Thanks for visiting and sharing your comment! No, I haven’t tried that because I’m not that adept at Photoshop. I do now own a tripod, so it would be fun to try. Is there a blog or site that would get me started with this concept that you can recommend?
I found this tutorial here http://layersmagazine.com/exposure-blending-in-photoshop.html With Photoshop there’s always more than one way to do things and my way of blending exposures is easier than this tutorial but maybe not as effective. I’ll have to give this tutorial a try to compare.
This site http://www.dpreview.com/articles/category/software-techniques
has some interesting tutorials but not on blending 2 or more photos yet.
I love these! These could look great in black and white too! Because the sun isn’t really in the shot you could do more of an eerie shot. I’m trying to play with black and white, because I’m a colored photo girl hahaha! I think they are beautiful though 🙂
Someone else suggested black and white, as well. I’m going to try it when I get a few minutes…
