I was coming from The Land of OZ. ;)

No, it is a beginner photoshop trick.  There is a lot to learn in photoshop, there are a couple of Wrightwoodians that create in it for a living.

Great photo Angelwolf.

Forest Gal, definitely go!!!  I would wait til spring though as the hills might have some more color and it was VERY cold and windy!!!  Trucks were tipped over on the way up there!  Movie road is where all the old movies were filmed, Roy Rogers, John Wayne, i.e. movies.  The rocks go on forever and are magnificant!!!  But there are creeks and hills and mtns and so many things to see.......

Thanks!

Photoshop is the industry standard, if you learn the real version you will open yourself up to all kinds of career possibilities.   You are enough of a comp- geek I think it would be good for you to take a class in it.  Or you can just google photoshop tips.

I was so excited to be in the area to photograph Mono Lake.  Well as we were making the decent into the valley, there was a huge wall of fog.  I was so disappointed as I could not see the lake at all.  But I was a good sport and figured there would be something to capture as I drove all the way there so I went walking and actually found alot to photograph.  This is the first shot I got in the parking area.  It was VERY cold and windy, but just around the lake.  A few miles back it was blue sky.....   I really liked the icy branches and the way there is almost no color in the shot.....

Thanks!

Most people don't know how cool June Lake is.  We were there in September.

Great shots!!

Angel wolf, your photo of the ice waterfall is gorgeous. I really enjoy that one.

I am a photo shop fan.  As a kid, I did a lot of experimental black and white photography, so enjoy photo shop for that sense of experimentation.

I like things that don't look too photoshopped if I can avoid it.  But I'd like to show a photo that may be a little overdone.  This is a photo of a christmas ornament.  I took the photo and decided to turn it into what hopefully looks like a drawing far beyond what I could ever do.  See what you think.

  Nice touch Hobbes. I like Southern Utah sandstone formations and my favorite, Canyonlands Natl Park between Frisco and Moab, Utah. I can't wait for a trip there this June

 You could look right down from your balcony into the restaurant and see if your friends were there yet.

These were taken at the Laws Museum in Bishop.  It's a great museum, you can go into the trains and the buildings.

I love shots like these. This type of ice is known as either hoar frost or rime ice, depending on how it was formed. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoar_frost &
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rime_ice

I've got some old shots from Minneapolis like these from my college days. I'll see if I can dig them up. I think I scanned them a few years ago.

Thanks for sharing!
