My sister has been talking about St Peter’s Village for some time now, and with the kids just starting vacation, I was looking for something quick and easy to do.
After taking a scenic 30 minute drive, we parked and walked up the small little hill to the quarry, and from there I took these quick images.
Images of the quarry at St Peter’s Village in Chester County, Pennsylvania.Images of the quarry at St Peter’s Village in Chester County, Pennsylvania.Images of the quarry at St Peter’s Village in Chester County, Pennsylvania.
In image processing, I went with a higher saturation and vibrancy then normal, to emphasize the colors from the paints and chalk that have dripped down over the rocks from the graffiti art, but the greens of the trees became to “hot”.
I took the color image and converted into a Black and White layer, and from there I cut a mask to enhance the colors of the rocks.
Certainly not the image I had in mind when I stood there, but I kind of like it.
Here is a little something for this weeks “Manipulation Monday”, which is a combination of (3) images taken here in Downingtown earlier in the summer.

On a technical side, the (3) 16-bit RAW images where combined in Photoshop CS6, on my new computer, which did not even flinch when dealing with the 500MB file!
In monitoring the scratch disk space, it was bizarre for me to see that I still had 10GBs of free space available!
