365 Day Project- Day 17

In Costa Rica, on the way back from some more birding, we spotted two different groups of howler monkeys.  I think it was really lucky we spotted them.  Considering where we were, I wouldn't have thought to see them around.  When it comes to photographs of monkeys, I am still not sure whether I like to see them in color or black and white. I am a big fan of people and black and white, and the monkeys seem human enough that black and white seems to really do them justice.  What do you think?

Here's the color version.

And the black and white verion.

Here's another set.  Color....

Black and White....

365 Day Project- Day 16

I took a ton of hummingbird/bird photos this day.  While I could show some of the bird photos that I think came out the sharpest, I decided I would share the ones I felt were the most abstract and, consequently, interesting on a different level.

 

365 Day Project- Day 15

This is from the second morning in Costa Rica.  As you can see, the weather was just not cooperating.  However, I like the feel of this shot.  This was turned into a high contrast black and white using Alien Skin Exposure.  The bird is a mourning dove (I believe).

Two weeks in....  This is from the first morning in Costa Rica.  Man, did it rain!  This shot was turned into a negative black and white using alien skin exposure's negative red-blue xray filter.

365 Day Project- Day 13

Nancy and I went to Costa Rica and so I am going to now be catching up with posting my photos of the day.  Here's my posting for day 13. 

The Costa Rica Pic of the day

As I am now starting to cull out the "B" shots, I thought I would include this one.  This is of an oriole I had taken in Sarapiqui.

Here's another iguana shot.  I used the Alien Skin Exposure software to mirror a Fuji Velvia 50 slide film.

Here's another hummingbird photo.  This is from the same place, the Peace Garden.

Here's a photo of a hummingbird I made while in Costa Rica.  This was taken at a the Peace Garden by La Paz waterfall.  The Peace Garden is a really stunning place to visit.  They have a hummingbird garden, monkeys, butterfly garden, and some great trails to see the waterfalls.
