As promised, here are the Los Altos photos fresh out of Photoshop.

I'm not really into nature photography to be honest. With all due respect to Ansel Adams, large, far off landscape images are just not my thing. The one way I've been able to make nature photography work for me is by having one central focus. This ends up resulting in mostly macro photography, although sometimes I can work with the rule of thirds to do more of a focused landscape.
In this series I worked with different lighting. A lot of my images tend to be dark and ominous so I went with really bright, vivid colors on this, making it look almost surreal in some of the photos (Almond Orchard). I also was interested by how the sunlight looked through the greenery (Green Stars), or how nature could imitate man-made products (Reaching Wire). I did a little play on pattern work as well in the photo "Foxtails". All in all I was pleased with what I came home with.
