Let's Enjoy Fall for a Little Longer

I know it is almost December and in many places in the world winter is in full swing but here on the Palouse the weather is still very autum-esque. Fall in Moscow, Idaho is undoubtedly the most beautiful time of the year. The trees turn vibrant colors and the sunlight makes the entire town glow. The University of Idaho campus is especially radiant in October and November. I had a blast a few nights ago wandering around campus capturing the colors of the leaves in the soft evening light. I brought Tank (my Cocker Spaniel) along for the adventure and he enjoyed sniffing every inch of our journey. The setting sun cast shadows on the leaves, enhancing their texture. This made creating clear detailed shots with gorgeous contrast a breeze. It was one of those evenings where the light was so perfect you could not take your eye out of the viewfinder.

Oil Painting Prints

Life has been very busy over the last few weeks. I have joined forces with fellow Etsy shoppers who are also embarking on their first Etsy holiday season. We have learned a ton from each other and GriffingPhotography continues to improve every day. My latest project has been editing pictures to appear as oil paintings. This is not just as simple as applying a filter to a photo. There is quite a bit of top secret underlying work that must be done in order for it to look truly unique. My new shop section, Oil Painting Photo Prints is up and running. Check it out and let me know what you think!
