Although it might not look like it, there was a fence between he and I But he was quite wild.......and cuddly too. http://alleggra.gfxartist.com/artworks/139871 Alleggra Photography / Nature I went for a walk with some friends recently at a nice preserve in the hills. I thought this was a beautiful scene. So I wanted to share it Enjoy http://alleggra.gfxartist.com/artworks/117963 Alleggra Drawing / Nature Hello! Well this is something very new and very old I finished this drawing several years ago and have cherished it since. I did not know I could do something like this! So, the style is new, for you all! In case you are wondering, those are tiny little dots. I believe the technique is... http://alleggra.gfxartist.com/artworks/117523 Alleggra Photography / Uncategorized This was taken on my way home from work one day. I was waiting for my train and the sun was setting over in the West toward San Fran. I thought it was beautiful Handheld of course. Minor editing in PS to adjust contrast. http://alleggra.gfxartist.com/artworks/116753 Alleggra Photography / Figure Youth passes us by so quickly! We don't realize how precious it is until is gone. But then we are so blessed to have little ones running around to remind us of those wonderful times. I hope this portrait captured that feeling. I believe it did. B/W added in PS Contrast adjusted... http://alleggra.gfxartist.com/artworks/116278 Alleggra Photography / Architecture I took this last spring while waiting for a lunar eclipse to begin. I got some interesting photos of that too I love this bridge and I really love this photo. This is actually only steps from my office building! So I often eat lunch staring at this. I find this bridge so magnificent - I hope... http://alleggra.gfxartist.com/artworks/115757 Alleggra Photography / Nature This is another photo from my series from Hawaii. I took a break from sharing these. But I really liked this one so I wanted to add it. Taro is a staple in Hawaii and these fields are everywhere. But, this one in particular is also a bird sanctuary. It was really beautiful! As you can see it... http://alleggra.gfxartist.com/artworks/115452 Alleggra Photography / Nature I went for a hike today and there were some GREAT clouds out so I made sure to bring my camera! I nearly blinded myself waiting for just the right moment to snap this one... Comments welcome as usual! http://alleggra.gfxartist.com/artworks/115195 Alleggra Photography / Nature This little guy is hanging around in my backyard with about 100 of his friends. Small spider problem They are SUPER fast, really hard to get them to sit still for a photo! They're camera shy I guess. He was trying really hard to blend in obviously! Thanks everyone! http://alleggra.gfxartist.com/artworks/114431 Alleggra Photography / Still life Another shot from my still life shoot. This looks slightly more exposed after uploading it to image shack. I don't know what that's all about... Anyway - Happy Birthday to me haha! http://alleggra.gfxartist.com/artworks/114389 Alleggra Photography / Still life This is my first attempt at some still life photography. I did a few other subjects in this shoot so you might see more of those in days to come. I'm not too sure about the end result here but I really liked the concept. Perspective is something I need to work on! Anyway - comments... http://alleggra.gfxartist.com/artworks/114351 Alleggra Photography / Nature I went for an afternoon paddle boat ride and made a friend along the way... Comments welcome as usual! p.s. I'm having issues where when I upload my photos they look different than the version I have saved to my computer. They're often brighter and sometimes a little less... http://alleggra.gfxartist.com/artworks/114192 Alleggra Photography / Figure In between shots, during an experimental shoot, my model sat down and rested her head on her arm. She looked so weighed down and emotional...I later learned she had reason for feeling that way (some family issues). She's one of the sweetest girls I know - it was hard to see that! But, the... http://alleggra.gfxartist.com/artworks/113823 Alleggra Photography / Figure This is my lovely little sister who I can't call a "baby sister" anymore because she's all grown up I haven't done a lot of portraiture work yet but I'm experimenting. I know the grainy texture does not please many of you but I really like it in this... http://alleggra.gfxartist.com/artworks/113821 Alleggra Photography / Nature This was taken recently on a long walk I took in an open space preserve where I live. We walked to the top of this hill and the sun was shining very brightly on this lone tree. And as you can see the sky was really dark in the east. I am a sucker for moments like that. I love the contrast.... http://alleggra.gfxartist.com/artworks/113559
