Abstract Update

This could also be titled ARTIFACT and I may type that on the left side of this image, as room has been left to include a header. This Chief's Staff was created from scratch using Photoshop and other plugins. It was basically painted in Photoshop and not created using any photographs of feathers. Instead, the feathers appeared and as I worked with them, they continued materializing (similar to finding a statue in a block of marble). As with painting and sculpture, this piece evolved from nothing into something.

I love photography! There I said it. One reason I love it is there is always something to shoot.

From morning 'til night:

SUNRISE

SUNSET

Our views are limited from the cabin, yet the skyscape continually changes providing a magnificent show. Above are two examples of a glorious "good morning," and an end of the day "good night."

Sepia Hay Rake

The hay bales are on the way out. In their place are hay rakes and balers--heavy duty equipment. Yesterday morning the sun hit the rake and part of it looked like bright metal sunflowers. So...I took color shots, then converted them into a rich sepia. (Have to insert this comment...the other day I gave instructions on how to achieve a good sepia print and after that article was read, I see people doing the same old, same old weak sepia prints. I am stunned. Were my suggestions vague? I don't think so. Conclusion: creating quality, deep sepia images isn't as easy as one would think. On the other side of that coin...perhaps some folks like a washed out look.)

Sepia Silhouette Portraits

After playing around today with my silhouetted self-portrait, I had Bob pose and the first image is the result in sepia. The second image is my self-portrait converted to sepia tones.
