Soft Pastel Waves: The Gradient Effect

Going to the beach an hour or so before sunset is one of my favorite times to capture photos of the water, especially since you get so many different ranges of hues and textures from the direct reflections right off the sky.

I wanted to experiment more with this beach photo by adding a soft gradient touch to it--the result is a calming water pic with peach, pink and turquoise strokes of color and light.

Such a striking clip that shines and sparkles in different wavelengths with the light. I decided to use a turquoise bag as the background for a direct contrast. I love the magic of the colors and had to brighten and filter for an extra blue, pastel flair.

Dreamy Winter Trees and Pastel Pink Skies

One of those angelic wintry days at a hidden park in the city. Surrounded by rocks, water, wispy trees and a mostly cloudy sky, I decided to use this moment to capture the flowers and trees. I gave it a more delicate, pastel touch by blurring out the image and adding in some pink-peach hues and removing some of the saturation for a timeless look and feel.

Magic Wonders of the Garden: Salmon-Yellow Colored Rose

Time to stop and smell the roses.

So many bright flowers in the Pacific Heights neighborhood, making this hilly hike a refreshing walk in nature. This one in particular caught my eye; I love the mix of yellow, orange, and salmon colors on this and had to capture a closeup pic.
