Sometimes it’s nice to leave the ‘big’ camera at home. Last year I purchased a Canon G9 to be used as my point-n-shoot, always with me camera, a camera I could take anywhere and would not necessarily draw a lot of attention. What I didn’t count on was having so much fun with it or the quality of images that it’s capable of producing when used properly.
Here are a few pictures that I shot in Santa Fe last year when I first got the camera, but have just recently got around to developing. All images were captured in color as raw files and later processed as a black & white using the Black & White tool Photoshop CS3 and several curves layers to selectively add contrast.
The photos shown here are available as limited edition prints, please contact me for pricing and availability.
As always, please click on any image for an expanded view.

Wow…these are great!! There is something about trains that really draws people to them. And these certainly do it for me!! I really like the effect of the B & W!
