Diane Varner

Diane Varner had been photographing the Northern California Coast on her Daily Walks since 2005. Her photoblog, Daily Walks, is a visual journal that she shares with her viewers...

"I live in a location that lends itself to beauty but I've discovered that there are spectacular views just below and above our feet no matter where we are. I take notice of the small nuances...the way a long blade of grass gracefully moves and plays with the light...the way leaves and flower petals randomly fall to the ground in a perfect composition...the way that a very quiet, gray landscape can come alive with the flight of a squawking blue heron crossing it. From the mundane to the magical, life unfolds before me everyday with hundreds of photographic possibilities."

Diane finds that the post processing of her photographs can be as exciting as taking them... "I thoroughly enjoy bringing out all the detail, light and colors in each image, including taking the creative liberty to enhance them when so inspired. I can spend literally hours on one photograph and often do. SilkyPix Developer Studio is one of the outstanding software programs that provides the ability for me explore and produce stunning results."
