Little Man A

Little Man A - Waitin for the train. Photo by Robbie Sypnier

My Brother-in-Law, Robbie ( and favorite photo excursion buddy) took this awesome shot of my great-nephew 'Little Man A'. The shot looked great in color full of warm tones and shadows.

Wenderina then entered the room and said "Hey wouldn't that be cool if 'Little Man' was in color and the rest of the shot was black & White...." Well I was giving Robbie photoshop lessons anyway so we set to work. A little while later we had this great image.

Drive-By Art

One of the things I really love most about Cape Cod is the feel from another time and place it has. Driving down 6A this vegetable stand and this farm struck me as wonderfully nostalgic and Americana. When you couple this with small houses built in the 1600's and that wonderful clear yet not harsh Cape Cod light.... I don't go anywhere on the cape without my camera. There is an opportunity at any time of day. I think this little farm stand will end up being a great watercolor.

On this same theme of nostalgia... I am a bit of a purist when it comes to digital photography... Just because we can change things around and combine images does not mean we should... Anyway that is my normal stance and there are others who disagree and that is fine. This next image I saw and decided it would look amazing in a glowing soft dreamlike photo. So I broke one of my own 'rules'.. What do you think?

Keep Makin Art!

Bash Bish Falls

Here is one of those images that was too hot (contrasty originally) which surprised me as the Histogram showed nothing cut off and a good curve. After some soft dodging and burning I got it to look like I remember the the day looking.. Overcast, but strong saturated colors.

What do you think?
