While I do not consider myself a photographer, I do very much enjoy the art of capturing still imagary. Below are some images of a variety of sights I've come across in my travels. These pieces were taken using a various techniques to enhance lighting effects and many were all processed within Adobe Lightroom. I have made every effort to maintain the integrity of the colors and details, however, and there was no digital brushing or any other alterations conducted.

The Window at Big Bend National Park This image was one of many captured during a timelapse shot from the porch of a cabin as a ferocious thunderstorm was clearing out of the park through this famous cut in the mountains.	03_ FastShutter_ettaro	02_ShallowDOF_ettaro

03_DOF_Portfolio_ettaro Classic depth of field experiment.	Bread Shot locally at one of my favorite restaurants utilizing aperture setting and ISO setting to create a strong depth of field effect. Love the natural light streaming in from the window creating such deep texture on the bread.	Dang it! We've all been there, right?
07_Portfolio_ettaro I found this old basketball rotting in the woods. Nobody near by, it must have been sitting in the leaves for years.	01_FastSS_Portfolio_ettaro	04_Macro_Portfolio_ettaro
It's Not a Bird First reaction is to think the swirly thin lines coming out of the hole in the tree are feathers and tail of a bird, but look closer!	03_lines_ettaro	Devestation Beautiful rose bush destroyed by a mini monster.
01_ Macro _ETTARO Not what it looks like. This isn't the typical shooting into a mirror shot. Here we have two DSL cameras placed lens to lens.
