I drove by this clock many times before I caught on to the fact the all the numbers were 1. Not sure why or what the significance is. The clock graces a former gas station turned Physical Therapy office and appears to keep the correct time if you can get past the ones. I edited… Continue reading Day 61- Clock

Day 59 – Bluejay
I’ve been watching these Bluejay’s dance around in my parents yard all summer. I finally got out the big lens and started chasing them around yesterday. I think the score was Bluejay’s 10 and Jeanne 1 but I finally got one to hold still long enough to get a pictures. My research indicates that this… Continue reading Day 59 – Bluejay
Day 54 – Shadow
OK, I admit it, I am reaching here. It’s not so much that I have been lazy as I have been busy doing other things. So yes, it is time to get out and shoot some new material. What this ended up being was an exercise in post processing as what compelled me to trip… Continue reading Day 54 – Shadow
Day 53 – Mailboxes
It’s been awhile since I’ve seen old school apartment mailboxes like these and I was especially happy to see that they actually had mail in them. The mailboxes had been painted the same green color as the building so I thought a black and white treatment might be best. I chose Topaz BW effects for… Continue reading Day 53 – Mailboxes
Day 52 – Railroad District
I took a stroll through Ashland’s Railroad District yesterday. In my youth it was the low rent district but now that the trains don’t run anymore it has become quite trendy. There is still some interesting grunge around if you look hard enough. I often wonder about the ethics of photographing someone else’s art and… Continue reading Day 52 – Railroad District
Day 45 – Ducks
I visited North Mountain Park in Ashland for the first time yesterday. What a great place for nature photographers. From the butterfly garden to the wetlands ponds to beautiful Bear Creek there is a lot of variety and a lot of wildlife habitat. Looking forward to going back with the “big girl” camera. I did… Continue reading Day 45 – Ducks
Day 44 – Smudge Pot with Pears
I’m surprised at the number of smudge pots still to be found sitting around the orchards though they have not been legal for years. I remember spring mornings from my childhood when the skies around here would just be black with smoke from the smudging, (i.e. burning oil in these pots to keep the fruit… Continue reading Day 44 – Smudge Pot with Pears
Day 43 – Barn Door
I went for drive in the country yesterday. This barn door was just one of the abstracts I got from this well weathered building. Lots of old barns and packing sheds to be found in the orchard country of the Rogue Valley. This one had the standard processing.
Day 42 – Flowers
Here are some more flowers from the Farmer’s Market. I swear I am going to get out and shoot today if it is the last thing I do. Saturation on this one was already great so I just did some sharpening and detail and a slight lightening of the center.
Day 38 – Oregon Coast
It must be time for another outing. I just started going back through the files until I found one I liked that was different from what I had posted before. The Oregon Coast always makes for a good picture. I love what the detail extractor in Nik Color Efex Pro does with clouds. and the… Continue reading Day 38 – Oregon Coast
