Butler Photography

I’m still here! Took a little break during softball season but I am itching for a fun shoot.

Also, been dabbling with some logo design for friends and family. If you have a project you need some help on let me know! :)

Couple more shots, in color this time.
Nevermind - Seattle's Nirvana Tribute
McFiler's Chehalis Theater

Some fun shots of the venue last night. Tim, your team and you have done such a great job. This place has so much character, it was so fun shooting

My first time shooting a show in a long time. Jar of Lies: Tribute to Alice in Chains and Nevermind - Seattle's Nirvana Tribute put on an amazing show last night. I will have more pictures later, still going through the images.

Also, if you don't shoot a 90s grunge cover band show like Charles Peterson, why are you even taking pictures ;)

Excited for the show! And finally got to check out the theater, it is amazing in here.

Drove by Ken's Bi-Right Motors today. Love when he has some old cars out front.

This feels like an album cover from The Black Keys

So, this is edited into oblivion but I was playing around with smart masking in Lightroom. Image masking is a technique used in photo editing to separate or isolate specific areas of an image from the rest, allowing for more precise editing and manipulation. Smart masking uses AI to pick the subject, background or sky and then allows you to edit it how you'd like. It's still in early access but so far seems to work pretty sweet. I used it to brighten the exposure on the car and decrease it on the rest of the image, I also desaturated the rest of the image as well. Obviously I took this to an extreme because I wanted to see how well it worked, but thought this would be a cool thing to share. I find that a lot of pictures the sky is washed out, especially if taken with my phone. This feature would allow people to quickly fix the sky in images with very little time/skill needed

Broken down I saw the other day.
