Vintage Truck {Weatherford, OK Photographer}

I've been looking for old trucks to take pictures of lately. My soon to be nephew's room will have vintage vehicles. I found this one the other day and was playing around with some MCP Actions in Photoshop. I don't like to do a lot to my pictures because I like to get it right in camera but I wanted a pop of color because of the overcast day.  I like the way it turned out. 

Before

After

For my photographer friends that have MCP Actions here's what I used:

MCP Mini Fusion (free version) (I took off the hazy part of the action.)

Dreamy Color from MCP Quickie Collection

Snap from MCP Quickie Collection

Branding Iron from MCP Finish It (resizes for web & puts on my logo)

I really love MCP Actions for my jpeg files. I love the pops of color and the details it brings out.

New Blog and Website Coming Soon!

An all new www.sherylsalisburyphotography.com will be coming soon. It's called a blogsite. It's a blog and website in one. Right now I'm maintaining three sites (blog, 365 blog and website).  I'm hoping this will help streamline everything. I'll let you know when the new site is activated.

Tornado Season {Western Oklahoma Photographer}

Tornado season has hit Oklahoma. The proof lies in the destruction around the state. The sight is horrible and astonishing. These pictures came from a mile stretch of road that my family and I drove by on our way home from the city.

We think the metal was from a silo. Some of the wire on the ground looks to be from guard railing (closest was on the interstate about a mile away).

As we were driving through the destruction, new high line poles were up all alone the stretch of road we were traveling.  Most of the old high line poles were snapped off and wrapped in wire just like the one below.  I can't imagine what it looked liked spinning around and around in the air.

Freedom {Western Oklahoma Photographer}

A photo session in honor of all the men and women of this great country who gave their lives so that we could have our freedom. 

 This was the last picture I took during the photo session. It wasn't planned but when I saw him straightening the flag and being so respectful and careful with it, I knew I wanted this shot. It immediately pulled at my heart strings. 

Weekly Wanderings {Western Oklahoma Photographer}

How do you start your morning?  I start mine with a wonderful, soothing cup of coffee (and sometimes my camera).

Kelsey {Western Oklahoma H.S. Senior Photographer}

Taking pictures of High School Seniors has been bittersweet for me. My own daughter is a Senior this year so most of the Seniors I photograph go to school with her. It's like a constant reminder that my daughter is about to start down a different path in life. So many feeling....happiness, sadness, relief, fear, excitement, pride plus so many more.

Anyway, here are a few of Kelsey from this weekend.  We've made a point to have a couple of Senior sessions as the year has gone along.  This session was more spontaneous as we were on our way to her brother's baseball game. We had a few minutes before we needed to leave so we decided to stop for a few pictures.
