On my way to the airport after speaking at the professional photographers of Michigan convention I was able to spend a few minutes with Jim downtown Grand Rapids along the river with all the art that’s installed right now. He gave me a great chance to play with the LumixGX7. I’m really enjoying the panoramic capabilities of the in camera stitching and the way the final output comes. Here are a couple images from the shoot.

From the Tuscan region of Italy. An aged brick wall with vines artwork.
This was created from a wall the Italian town of Radi. This brick wall was full of texture and vines and growth. I enhanced the color, added more texture and selectively blurred and sharpened different areas of the image to create the final piece using Adobe Photoshop as my main editing tool. This is hanging in my home because my wife saw it on the monitor and said, “I want one of those for the house!” you know the expression Happy wife equals happy life. This is also hanging at the restaurant Dans Bistro in Sedona, Arizona to help give the decor a European flavor.
You can see more of my fine art work on my art web site. I am available for commissions. Pick the subject, size, color palette, material to print on and I’ll create custom art for you. You can even send me a picture of where you would like the piece to hang and I can show you what the image would look like before we get it printed. That way you wouldn’t end up with a piece of fine art that was either too large or too small for the space. As always all work is guaranteed to please or you get your money back. Interior designers give me a shout let’s see what we can create for your clients,

It’s always good to have a second set of eyes checking over your work… My friend Ron Jackson who does a lot of real estate photography saw my Creekside Inn image and made a couple suggestions to give it a little more pop. And he was right. Cleaned and brightened the trim. Changed the color balance a little bit and a few minor changes led to this…
The changes are small but add a bit more pop to the image. See the original here.
Check out the previous image and let me know what you think. I love this industry where other photographers have your back and are willing to take time to give their feedback on work you’ve done. Did I take all the suggestions? Nope, but I certainly appreciated all of them.
