New Photos from Mexico on Flickr

Slowly the photos from our trip are starting to appear on the Flickr photostream.

Some are taking some more work than I imagined.. I think the results are worth it. I took some very nice photos at twilight in Puerto Vallarta. I am sure that some people will be a little squimish regarding the big iguana that I took in the trees. I really don't think that he is real. Every time we have been near the overpass, an excited native is quick to point him out to us in hopes that we will drop a few pesos in his hands for spotting such a wonderful piece of wildlife.. I really think he is stuffed.. or at least is maintained there so that people will be in awe of him.

In Cabo as you walk into the town there were iguanas dressed up in funny costumes. Its amazing what our species does to others. Iguanas should not have chaps, a cowboy hat and a holster on. These animals I assume were born and raised in captivity.

There are some really nice photos of the PV cathedral. The horizontal one needed extensive clone work to remove the idiot photographers in front of the photo. I know I could have waited for them to pass. Its kind of interesting to see the before and after shots.

I think a really nice photo is the one with the girls watching the waves come in on the wrought iron bench of the Malacon. When I printed it at home I lost a lot of the delicate tans in the photo. They over saturated and its just not the same.

The new photoshop has some keen features with adjustment layers. Its a big improvement.
