Carriage and Flag, Seymour, Indiana

iPhone Image, Seymour, Indiana

On the way to French Lick, Indiana last week I stopped to make a few images with Eric DiBlasi in Seymour, Indiana. I had seen an image he had made of an old barn and wanted to check it out.Being a fan of Americana specifically the American Flag I was happy to see one on the barn. Found an old carriage upstairs - must have been circa 1950 - and carried it down to it's place in today's image....someone said it was a bit scary......not sure....

Ferris Wheel

Ferris Wheel - Atlantic City

How many times have you worked on an image for a few days and the minute you post on a social network page or blog or other media a thought enters your mind with a new processing idea - countless times for me. That and going back in the archives and wondering how you missed an image in the first place...something I suggest everyone do from time to time...

The Ferris Wheel image today fits both of these criteria. It has been in the archives for quite some time - very much overexposed but with bit and pieces of color. After working on the image for several days it dawns on me to make a composite using one of my cloud images. PS: it is always helpful to save clouds and texture images in a folder for just this purpose.

So after an hour or so I think I have it right, hit return and send it off into the cyber world. Needless to say that second I did that I realize it was the color that drew me into the image in the first place, and, of course, now have to go back and mask in the color...

Hipstamatic Portraits

Hobby Horse, Copenhagen

My main use for the Hipstamatic Camera is for portrait and still life work. I use only one lens and one film type most of the time - JohnS and Kodot Grizzled.. I like the edges and resolution so I stick to it. Of course I do experiment from time to time but usually go back to that combination.

This image is from 2010 on a visit to Copenhagen....

It has been awhile since I have used NIK's Silver EFX Pro 2. Recently I have been processing some of my iPhone4s Hipstamatic images with SFX2 achieving results that I am quite happy with....NIK has made several upgrades and these new features give the user a bit more control over the image...
