This is the second photodocumentary of my most secretive reason for getting a digital camera. I agonized over the decision to let the public in on my little secret... ...touching up photos. In the end, I figured I would fess up to my crime, and show you the advantages of a digital camera and graphic manipulation of digital photos. |

The following pictures are shots of 4 family members on the top of Mount Mansfield, the tallest mountain in Vermont. The first picture is the original, cropped down to save downloading time.

Dumpsters and Port-a-Pottys, who put them there? This was a fantastic picture of everyone with the mountain peak in the background. So what do you think I should do?
I had no other choice than to move the dumpster and Port-a-Potty out of the picture! |

This was especially challenging because I couldn't crop much of the bottom off of the picture, because it was essential to keep the greenery and the rock they were standing on in the picture. I did ending up cropping a bit off the bottom, but I probably would have done that anyways because it was just a dirt road.

What, you didn't expect me to give away my techniques, did you? A photographer must have some element of secrecy in his artwork, or all the mystery would vanish.
The larger, more detailed, full picture of this scene is shown in the Mount Mansfield Portrait Gallery, along with a few other great mountain scenes. |
