tewmom > April 22, 2009 “There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition.” ~ Rod Sterling The quote from "The Twilight Zone" pretty much sums up the effect I was aiming for, but I don't feel I quite got there. I was fighting with the focusing on my G10, I will have to try this again with my DSLR.
tewmom > March 26, 2009 Another Irish post today, but this time out of the city! This was taken at the Rock of Cashel, the castle was behind me, when I looked over the wall I was pleasantly surprised to see the sheep there. After being away for 10 days, I am swamped both at home and work and have had no time to get out and take pictures. Hopefully this weekend I can get back in the swing of things.
tewmom > May 26, 2009 Another shot from the Memorial Day Parade yesterday. The Boys Scouts put together a pretty cool float. It depicted the different aspects of camping. There was a tent, a pond with scouts fishing, campfire, and the final piece was this outhouse. I didn't expect this when it went by. What a good sport this guy is!
tewmom > January 31, 2009 "Who's turn is it to turn the hot tub back on!" Sorry, but I had to post yet another snow scene. As of the last storm, the Boston area has received 44.7 inches to date. Probably half of that is still on the ground. We have already exceeded our average snowfall for the season. I wonder how much more the next two months will bring, brrrrrrrr! This is a sculpture that is in my town, when I saw it buried in the snow I just knew that I had to photograph it. The name of the piece is "Touching Souls" by Mico Kaufman. The piece consists of four children, native-American, European-American, African-America and Asian-American, sitting on the ground, arms leaning back, legs outstretched and apart, with the soles of their shoes/boots touching all of which cannot be seen with the recent snowfall we have had. The full sculpture can be seen at http://sculpturesbymico.com/touchingsouls.htm
tewmom > February 2, 2009 "Stairway to Freedom" "Since the 1773 mass protest meetings that led to the Boston Tea Party, Old South Meeting House has served as a gathering place for discussion and celebration and a haven for free speech", http://www.oldsouthmeetinghouse.org/default.aspx This is the spiral stairway that is located in the main entrance of the "Old South Meeting House" in Boston. I picked up my daughter from school and took her out for lunch. Definitely one of the perks of having her attend a local college. The weather was wonderful today, mid 40's and the sun was out. We had a nice afternoon walking around Fanueil Hall and the Freedom Trail. Being Super Bowl Sunday, everything was pretty deserted. Ugghhhh, as I post this daily the weather forecast is reporting that another snow storm will be upon us on Tuesday. Spring can't come soon enough.
tewmom > June 27, 2009 We are in Rockland, Maine for the weekend. My son's ship is returning to it's home port and we will be on the ship with him for its final leg back to port. Supposedly we have an ocean view room, but the fog is so thick the visability is approimately 50 yards. This is the view from our room, I can smell the ocean so it has to be out there right..... :-).
tewmom > January 29, 2009 "8 Weeks Until Spring" Another day another snow storm! Yesterday brought another eight inches on top of the foot or so we already have. I didn't intended for this to be a photo of the day. Originally I took it to send to my in laws who are wintering in Florida, so that they could see what they are missing. This is my deck illuminated by the two outdoor lights next to the door. I setup my tripod and while I stayed in the house nice and warm, opened the door just enough for the camera and fired away. I played around with it in PS, ended up converting to B&W and then applied the Topaz Adjust plug in for the final result. Thank you all for the posts on yesterday's daily, I really appreciated all the feedback. This has been a challenging, albeit enjoyable, past 29 days. There are so many talented people who post here each day. I am so inspired by all the wonderful creative images I see here every day.
tewmom > October 15, 2009 Sunset at the lake I was on the highway heading home from work, when I noticed how beautiful the skies looked. I quickly jumped off the exit and went to the lake, keeping an eye on the sky I looked for a good spot to take a picture. I parked the car, jumped out with my G10 in hand and luckily there happened to be a sign that I was able to balance the camera on and quickly took 3 bracketed shots. I merged them together using PSCS3 HDR Merge to end up with the final shot. It was a beautiful sunset, I wish that I had left the office 10 minutes earlier, but I will take this. There are many more sunsets to capture here, I drive by it every night. Have a great day everyone!
tewmom > February 5, 2009 "Winter Blues" As much as I complain about the snow, it has provided us with some spectacular scenery. I drove by this on my way to work yesterday, there were still a few flurries falling from our most recent storm. On a typical day you wouldn't look twice at this scene. However, this morning with the sun beginning to break through the clouds and the snow still clinging to the branches, it was just breathtaking. I processed the raw image using Capture NX2. I have CS3 but it does not recognize raw images from the D90. I have a 60 day trial on this software, trying to decide whether to purchase this or upgrade PS to CS4.
