After a long period of trying to make my website reflect a more professional look I think I found it. I you get the time please let me know what you think about it.

©Vargas click to enlarge I took this beautiful portrait recently and I had a ball. I took the session mostly with a white background. In post production I added the background. Notice the veil projects the scene in a semi transparent process.

click to enlarge I like photography and I take every opportunity to take just one more photo. Here is a typical example of what a point and shoot can do. I took this picture at the office, one of the employee had gotten these flowers from her boyfriend. Always carry your camera you never know what you are missing until you carry your point and shoot everywhere.

click to enlarge I had the pleasure to spend some time, around 30 minutes, with Anthony Comer, an up and coming photographer with a lot of desire to learn. I snapped a few shots with my point and shoot and here it is one of them Enjoy!

©Vargas - Click to enlarge When taking pictures try to include a nice foreground into the mix. This will make your pictures stand out and create a look than not everyone take the time to do it. COMPOSITION is the word....GO OUT AND TAKE PICTURES!!!!

click to enlarge Macro lenses are really good to capture even the most shy creatures. This spider was in my office and I just grabbed the camera with the 60mm and started to shoot. I also used the camera flash to enhance the detail.

Click to enlarge I like macro lenses. They allow to get close to the action. Pcitures like these can only be achieve by a macro such as 60mm Nikon. Do youhave one? well, used it and have fun!

click to enlarge I found this dragon fly laying on the grass after a rainy day. Obviously is dead, but I took it and took some macros. After a few modification in PSCS3 I was able to make it look it was flying. Keep on shooting!

©Vargas When travelling make sure your pictures reflect the area where you visited. You can get an idea by looking at this picture where I was. The beach was great. I visited Puerto Rico recently and I made sure my pictures reflected the mood and feeling of my trip.

click to enlarge Sometimes we need to look up and look at the sky. In this case I saw the sky and saw it was good, but I went a little further and waited for and object to complement the sky and make it look to scale. It could have been a bird or an airplane. I took this picture and I liked the sky exploding behind the airplane. The sky created a chaotic background behind the airplane. Look up, look down, look everywhere and everything.

Have you ever tried to put one of your relatives in a photo cover? Well, I do this once in a while. It is a lot of fun and good practice for those who want to further the PhotoShop's skills.

I am posting these Nikon lenses because I have too many. I would like to share some with you and I hope you find one you like. I will post one more page later.

©Vargas Happy 4th of July! Driving by a fireworks show, I stopped by the road and snapped some shots. f/16 - 5 secs. Raw. Nikon D200 35-70 f/2.8 lens. Leaning against the window of my car.

When taking pictures of flowers do not forget to take pictures at an angle. This technique makes the flower stand out more over the common frontal flower shot.

Hey guys, I am sorry I have not been posting. I have been busy finishing my e-magazine. I expect to finish it on time and expect some surprises that you are going to like it. This is the preliminary cover, some themes are not defined here yet. I just wanted to let you take a pick. I have made some changes since then. Look for it first week of July.

click to enlarge The sky is a great source of object from insects to airplanes such as this one. Do not be affraid to look up and capture other interesting objects.

Photo a Day will change its name to Inspirational Photo. This will reflect more the intent of the photo displayed. Enjoy it!!

When looking for flowers to photograph, do not forget the insects that live around it. A keen eye is necessary to spot these beautiful specimens. Remember, flowers are just the beginning ....
