I admire Terri Weifenbach's style very much. She takes pictures of things we are all familiar with - neighborhoods, landscapes, close-ups of the flowers we see in our yards. Her images have gotten more colorful.
I struggle with boosting the color in my shots. Ms. Weifenbach's are very colorful, but some of it is obviously been enhanced and although it looks lovely, some of them are too colorful, if that makes sense. I tend to gravitate to a more natural looking picture. There were some intentionally blurry shots that she exhibited and I tried to emulate that, but I just didn't like the way it looked.
I spent hours photographing and editing just the few shots I have, so I can't imagine the time Ms. Weifenbach devotes to photography. For instance, I was trying to get the spokes in the dandelion to be more accentuated - I probably took 30 shots of the darn thing and this is the clearest one I got. The wind was blowing constantly and when I went out the next day to try again, the dandelion was no more.
