  • Covered Bridges of the Oxford Area – the Book

    Covered Bridges of the Oxford Area – the Book

    I have been playing with the idea of publishing a photography book for some time, and after my experience with producing Madison’s 10th birthday gift, I decided to make a first real attempt.

    So what was my first real book going to be about?

    Looking back at my recent history, it only makes sense that I do something about covered bridges, and I already had the content from the presentation I did back in October 2012 for Citadel bank.

    This time is going to be easier from the standpoint that I only had a limited number of pictures, and a layout with the text.

    So after a couple of hours, I was able to put the following together using the simple Adobe Lightroom module, and uploading to Blurb.com.

    I invite you to take a look, and let me know what you think.

    With this first book done, and I’m sure that I’ll revisit at some point, I am beginning to put together some ideas on themed books.

    This time, using Blurb’s SmartBook application to put together my next adventure, namely because it seems to offer far more options and controls than what is available in the built-in Adobe Lightroom module.

    In the meantime, let me know what you think of the book!

  • Updated Website Look

    Updated Website Look

    It has been about two years, since I last updated the look of my website, and with the release of WordPress, they finally offered a template that caught my eye.

    Yesterday, after doing a lot of reading, and backing up files, I upgraded my website to version 3.8.

    I am happy to report that I did not have any issues with the upgrade, and now I’m just fine-tuning sections with some of the new features that are now offered!

    So please take a look around, and if you see anything “odd”, or have any comments, please let me know!

  • 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.

    Weather Clouds 024 – Peacedale Preserve

    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

    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!
