  • Drawdown with Snow – Chambers Lake

    I was driving along Chamber Lake in Hibernia Park yesterday, and I had to stop for the view of the drawdown with snow.

    This is a small (3635×1000) panoramic view, of 9 images ‘stitched’ together, looking toward the dam.

    I was standing knee-deep in snow, and for the locals, there is a good 5-8 feet of water missing because of the drawdown.

    You can also see maintenance trucks working on the dam itself.

  • A Fall walk in the Peacedale Preserve

    A Fall walk in the Peacedale Preserve

    Some images taken during a late Fall walk in the Natural Lands Trust’s Peacedale Preserve in Chester County, PA.

    There was a weather front moving through while I was there, which allowed for some very interesting cloud and lighting conditions, and several times, I was able to see some Crepuscular rays.

    At one point during my walk, I encountered a real old-timer.

    In the middle of the Preserve, there is a huge beech tree, at is 3-4 feet in diameter, and easily several hundreds of years old!

    I don’t think I have ever seen a monster like this!

    I was also extremely surprised with all the wooly bear caterpillar that I encountered. (Predicting Winter Weather: Woolly Bear Caterpillars)

    During my walk, I had to avoid walking on over a dozen of these critters!

    Barn door with corn stalks – Digital Art

    I am still ‘new’ to the digital art/painting capabilities of Adobe Photoshop CS6, but it has been a lot of fun playing!

    Earlier in the week, while out on a GPS drive, I captured the base image while shooting out the car window, and published it ‘as is’ so to speak.

    A couple of days later, playing with a new processing technique, I came up with this!

    I’m still fine tuning which images this technique works best, so come back again to see more images!

  • Stylized Hay Bales

    Folks that live in Chester County, or anywhere hay is harvested, have seen bale after bale just lying in fields.

    So on this rainy day, I decided to take a second look at some of my images in my collection…

    I am going to have to keep this technique in mind for future use!

    If you are interested in how I processed these images, please let me know!
