I thought it would be fun to start a little series for me to keep up a few times a month. I’m going to be picking my top ten images from “a year ago” and re-editing them with textures. A large part of what defines a photographers style is there post-processing. I love the look of textures and would like to incorporate these more reguarly into my work. They’re just so dang time consuming…but for this series a must.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this first enstallment from A Year Ago.

My exposures are continually improving, but a drastic difference I noticed when editing these is the sharpness of my images which I credit to my new equipment. My D80 struggled sometimes, especially when shooting wide open as I did in many of these.
