TanMan Photographie

I just started experimenting on photoshop and illustrator effects and compositions and this is my first work with mixing medias. I'm happy about how it turned out because it was just like painting in a canvas with trial and errors, and a countless undos... haha!

Yosemite Pine trees

I took this shots in Yosemite National Park. We drove out there for the day. The place was amazing! postcard beauty! haha! it wasn't snowing yet at the lower areas but it was definetly cold already.

We were suppose to go to a very high view point where you can see just about everyhting in Yosemite, but the road was slippery and icy already and our car didn't have snow wheels on. so we went around the park for a few hours instead, We saw bears, deers, chipmunks, squirrels, cayote, etc. Nature trip!

It was like being in the Grand Canyon all over again but the rock formations have trees in them unlike the grand canyon where you'll be lucky to get a shade from a tree.

Portraits at the Beach, SF

Mariel took this shot. I was walking towards the shore where the sun was setting. Edited to Chiaroscuro effect. square cropped for the life series collages.

Kite Surfer at sunset, SF

I took this shot just before the kite surfer passed the glaring sun. its hard to focus the camera at very high lighting especially lights coming from the sun. it is blinding for the camera, I didn't even look in the view finder to take this photo.

I took alot of trial photos but eventually got a good one.

School of seagulls

I took this in a beach in San Francisco facing the Pacific Ocean. It was Breezy out there and it was amazing to see this flock of birds soring in one place because the wind is too strong.

They are stationary in one location for a few minutes gliding and enjoying the powerful breeze of the pacific ocean. it was almost sunset so it was great to take photos of the cear blueish sky turning into shades of red.
