Old House - Kent, Ohio

Old House - Ohio

I am on a long drive from New York to Indiana and noticed I was low on gas. Got off the freeway but the gas station was closed. Low and behold across the street was this old house that simply called out to be photographed. It was late, sun was low but I managed to off a few images. Sometimes I wonder - why....

Vintage Car

A few weeks ago leaving Toledo I came across several vintage cars simply parked on the side of the road. The vehicles took on a extremely mysterious look in the dew filled misty-rainy morning....So of course I stopped and made a few iPhone4 exposures using ProHDR on a tripod....

This one was processed using Photo Toaster and Blur Fx, two new applications for me. Photo toaster retains resolution while Blur Fx is a res killer. In order to retain some degree of resolution I combined the blurred image with the Photo Toaster image in Iris and was able to maintain 3.3 MP of the original 5 MP. I do, however, realizze there are other ways to get this effect but wanted to play a bit with Blur Fx....

Never noticed a preferences page in Blur - anyone know if high resolution is even possible in this application.

Photo toaster is  a fun applications - even has frames...will be added to the list of applications for the Whidbey Island workshop...
