Random Picture

This is pretty much just a random picture. I thought the late afternoon sun looked kind of cool on the west side of the library, particularly on the columns. If I could somehow edit out that flood light and maybe desaturate it, then the shot might look pretty cool. Any suggestions?

Guess

Another instance of simply noticing something at the right moment. I saw this image and had to photograph it, if only because it was all kinds of creepy. I shot it in such a way so that it suggests a false scene to the viewer. Hopefully at first glance, you thought this was a grave marker of some sort. Well... it isn't. I desaturated the photo in order to add effect. I also thought making this particular shot into a black and white would increase the probability of me tricking the viewer into thinking it was a grave.

Sapientiae Sedes Sunset Silhouette

I couldn't pass up the opportunity when it jumped out at me. The statue of Mary Sapientiae Sedes looked absolutely amazing in the sunset light. After taking a number of shots I chose this one because it made a kick ass silhouette. To enhance the effect (even though it wasn't terribly necessary) I mildly saturated the photo and altered the hue. This allowed me to capture the full effect of the silhouette and to make the sunset look crazy.

"Spartans, prepare for glory!"

Somehow or another, I got the random urge to experiment with photography under a black light. While shooting a different frame, my room mate suggested a shot of this poster from the Warner Bros. film, 300 (2006). The initial product looked pretty cool, but then I decided to play around with the image on Photoshop. I then found that the ultra violet emissions from the black light caused the image to differ drastically from one in regular light, especially when I edited the photo's saturation and hue. The resulting product is this crazy image.
