This blog is normally supposed to be about the photos but as the 100 days project comes to a close I wanted to set down a few thoughts about how it went, and what I learned and where I go from here. In a way it seems like I’ve been doing this forever and in… Continue reading Reflections on the 100 day project

Day 100 – Buncom
And so it comes to a close. I shot this image at a wide spot in the road called Buncom which really just consists of 3 abandoned buildings. It was kind of grungy because I had to shoot through a dirty window so I thought “Why not take it a little further?” So I added… Continue reading Day 100 – Buncom
Day 99 – Provolt Store
Here’s another one from the Applegate Valley. I admit I hoped at the time that trip would give me enough images to finish out the project. The processing challenge on this one was that I wanted to give it a painterly look but I still wanted to be able to read the 7up sign. After… Continue reading Day 99 – Provolt Store
Day 98 – Vitus Vinifera
I took a little drive through the Applegate wine country this week hoping to get a chance to photograph some grapes. This image or something similar has been in my mind every since I was in Italy and too sick to get off the bus when we stopped at a vinyard. I’m hoping there will… Continue reading Day 98 – Vitus Vinifera
Day 97 – Barber Pole
I haven’t added anything to the Nostalgia collection in awhile so I was excited to come across this barber pole in Jacksonville, Oregon yesterday. I had to photoshop out some other signs and crop to make it a more generic barber shop. Then I processed it in CEP and finally took it into Topaz Impression… Continue reading Day 97 – Barber Pole
Day 96 – Orange Flower
Not sure if this is a marigold or what but I tried to get a little different perspective on it. Did the usual processing in CEP.
Day 95 – Milkweed seeds
On my camera walk in North Mountain Park the other day I found bunches of milkweed seeds. I may have to go back with the big girl camera as it was hard to get the degree of sharpness required for these beauties with the little one. Standard processing and yes I forced myself to forgo… Continue reading Day 95 – Milkweed seeds
Day 94 – Morning Glory
I took a stroll in the park yesterday and found some amazingly beautiful Morning Glories. Still fascinated with Topaz Impression. This one got the Cezanne treatment
Day 93 – Lock
I’m still having fun processing earlier images in Topaz Impression. this is a lock on the side of a barn door out in the orchard country.
Day 92 – Leaf
Here’s another leaf. I processed this one in the usual way in Nik CEP, then I added a texture from the French Kiss Collection and did some blending and masking. Finally, I took it into Topaz Impression where I selected the Cave Dweller II preset and did some tweaking. I’m not completely happy with it… Continue reading Day 92 – Leaf
