Macphun's Intensify Pro

in ,

Intensify Pro is an image editing program for the Mac from MacPhun Software. It is a powerful tool in which I've barely scratched the surface. Once you do initial processing in Photoshop or Lightroom you pull the image into Intensify Pro which has a plethora of filters, overlays and fine tuning capabilities. You can also stack layers to further enhance the image.

I've used a low-angle outtake from a doggie photo shoot that I did recently as an example below. I stacked two filters...Calm Day and Dramatic 2. 

There are so many adjustment features in Intensify Pro, that it is very difficult to convey in a single blog post, so I will have other posts on it as well as MacPhun's other awesome tool, Tonality Pro. 

Below are links to reviews and tutorials for Intensify Pro.

 

Two Mud Runs and a Pear Tree

in ,

Earlier this year...October to be exact, I participated in two 5k mud runs a weekend apart. This is a quick summary of photos from both runs. 

On October 5th, some co-workers and myself did the Mighty Mud Dash. Our team was named the Bay-Porte Bulldogs. It was my first time doing this run and I have to say...there is a huge abundance of mud. Ha!

On October 11th...a week later several friends from Camp Gladiator and myself did The Gritty Goddess. This was my 4th time doing this run and it was the funnest one yet! The Gladiators Gone Gritty got 'er done.
