Presets

Here I used the grayscale preset to change the image from color to black and white.

This was the strong contrast preset. 

This is my preset. I named it vibrant green.

Cropping

This is a photograph I took of a wing walker during the Skyfest event at the airport in August.

This was the original shot.

I cropped the photograph and moved the plane to the lower corner to make it look as though it is flying into the picture. 

This is the opposite orientation crop. I placed the plane at the very top to create more space below it, hoping to make it seem like they are higher up in the air then thy actually are.

This is the square crop. I place the plane just off center to be more pleasing.

Stiil Shots....

Still shots are to me a moment in time. Something that can never be redone exactly as it was in that moment. Its hold over us is due to the moment in time it captures and the feelings it instills in us when we see it. The emotions can be intense or casual depending on the content of the photo.

I took this image at Allegany State Park on the Red House side next to a river.
