Update of Karen Aus Photo Using Nik Filters
I was working through the list of Nik filters in the Color Efex 3.0 collection and came upon the Tonal Contrast filter that enables separate control over highlight contrast, midtone contrast, and shadow contrast. I used this filter to adjust contrast in the photos below of Karen Aus and Lina.
Julie in Silver Spring, MD
I recently bought a Canon 85mm EF f1.8. Purpose was to have an alternative to zooms (Canon 24-105mm f4 L and Canon 70-200mm f4 L), get better bokeh from a wider aperture, and reduce bulk. To break in the new lens I planned a shoot in downtown Silver Spring with Julie. The photos below were taken within a two block radius. Lots of backdrop choices in Silver Spring. Sharon Bullock owner of Metamorphosis Boutique provided wardrobe.

Mahsa at Glenview Manshion
The arrival of spring blossoms signaled that it was time to grab my gear and head for Glenview Mansion in Rockville, MD. I packed my still new Pocket Wizard Mini TT1 and Mini Flex 5’s for their first outdoor workout. The gear performed admirably.
