Description: Today after work, I swung by Red Rocks Park to see if I could find today’s photo of the day (what I call ‘Things I Saw‘) and it turned out to be pretty easy.  The photograph above was taken from a rocky beach which is to the left of the main entrance. The panoramic image was captured with an iPhone using Pano and then run through TiltShift Generator and finished off using GIMP.  Yep, that’s a lot of processing but hey it’s worth it (at least I think so).

About the project: The ‘Things I Saw’ photography project began January 7, 2008.  Since then I have shot, edited and posted one photograph per day – every day.  As of August 31, 2009 I had taken a total of 20,834 images, 604 of them made it to the Things I Saw photo gallery.  Take a look at all of Things I Saw photo galleries here.

Description: I set out with intentions of creating an HDR image.  I shot 110 photos in the West Bolton cemetery but did not end up with the HDR image I was looking for so I settled (happily) for this tilt-shift type image. This photograph was processed using TiltShift Generator with colors further enhanced using GIMP.
