It was a dark and stormy night. Well almost night. And almost a storm. The clouds were pretty cool tonight as I was eating dinner so I rushed out to try to get some sunset and cloud photos. No real chance at “god- rays” photos, but I decided to try this panoramic view. I loved the clouds and stuff on either end, and really needed the middle to tie them together!This photo wasn’t wide angle enough to catch the colors and shapes I was seeing.
So, I had to add the rest of the photos, using a built in thingy in Photoshop, I merged photos together to get a ~14,000×3300 pixel file! Huge! How do you like my command of the Photoshop language???
It was pretty foggy one morning last week and I headed out to follow my nose and see what I could get into. I ended up at Silver Lake and parked in McGlynn’s Pub parking lot and found a few images I liked. McGlynn’s could be part of my Used to Be series as it used to be the location of The Blue Coat Inn, a restaurant that was there for many years. The owner of the restaurant apparently tried to put a hit on the owner of the building when the arrangement they had went south.
I’m loving my Holga images that I’m getting with the camera I got from Randy at Holgamods. He massages them to get the best performance possible. One of the things he did was to measure the focusing distance of the lens so I can have a better idea of exactly where to set the focus. For the images that follow, it’s really irrelevant, because they’re so far away, I can just use the infinity focus.
Sorry.
Too much camera geek talk.
Here are the photographs.
This first one reminds me of some of the Monet Bridge paintings. Not that I think I’m Monet with a toy camera!
I drive by this barn every day going to town. A while back I saw a photograph from the Delaware archives online of the barn taken back in the early 1900s. I’ve never seen it since! I’ve seen lots of cool light on it and not had my camera with me. Today I finally had my camera and there was some cool light on it and clouds in the background. This version is the way I remember the archive version.
