Porsche 911 Targa 4

Click this image to enlarge

Saw a newest Speed Yellow (name of some kind of yellow/gold color) 997 platform 911 Targa 4S for a very first time at the LA Auto Show and I suddenly fell in love with it. I always love the Porsche engineering & design. The number 4 means it is an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) model. The Targa 4 pictured above was taken at the Riverside Porsche dealership parking lot during sunny morning. Originally the picture was in color and turned it into sepia used Photoshop CS3 beta black & white adjustment layer and added brown into it. Blurred the parking lot concrete background a bit from lens blur filter.

One of Inland Empire Mountains



Took this picture of smog-free view part of the surrounded mountains. It doesn't happen like this as smog-free days in Inland Empire area often. It was a gorgeous day because it has been raining during the day before today. I added bit of blue from photoshop's photo filter and unsharpen using the unsharp mask to produce slightly sharper picture. It was taken from Nikon D200 with 70-200mm VR (vibration reduction) at the setting of 1/320 ƒ9.0 ISO 100. Didn't use the tripod for this picture.

Recent picture of my son Neil



Here's a picture of my adorable son Neil. He's 10 years old and loves skateboarding and can see that it's his favorite thing to do. His interest in skateboarding came from me and my old skateboarder friends who influenced him to be into that fun sport! I want to tell you that he has talent with photography for his age. Many pictures he took turned out great. I encourage to keep up with his photographing skills. He must be proud what I have mentioned.

Picture of myself



Here's a picture of me with added black & white Lake Tahoe background that I did from Photoshop. My mom took the Lake Tahoe picture while she was there during her vacation. I never been there before. It'll be a great place to do landscape snap shots and I better go there to take gorgeous picture with my D-SLR camera with my son sometime this year! Definitely will share some good pictures after we visit Lake Tahoe!
