I have a soft spot for pretty cupcakes.  I love going to Cocoa Bean to look at them as much as I like eating them.  This is their “Dirty Turtle” cupcake, and it’s one of my favorites!  This image turned out a bit dark, so I enhanced the colors in Photoshop.

One of my favorite shots.  I didn’t have to do any edits or adjustments.

The trees on main street are still strung with lights.  I’m beginning to wonder if they ever take them down.  I’m not complaining, though; they’re so pretty.  I was trying to do a deep focus shot here but I couldn’t figure out how to get both the lights and the Kiwi Loco sign in the background into focus simultaneously.  As it happens, I really like the extreme bokeh in this shot.

I’ve gotta say, I’ve only been doing this for less than a month and I’m already tired of taking pictures in the snow.  This is another practice with small aperture/deep focus.  I enhanced the hues in Photoshop to bring out the warmth of the sunset and sharpened the image.
