The original photographs used for the Blending Modes
tutorial, were shot in Canada in August of 2006

Both of these photos were shot
with a SONY DSC-H5 digital camera. No adjustments have been made to either except to resize them, use a bit of Unsharp mask and optimize them for use on a web page. Please click on each to see a larger version.
Color Original
I originally took this photo with a camera setting for black and white, rather than converting a color image. Being able to switch back and forth between color and black and white quickly, with this camera, is one of the things I appreciate the most.
