This rainbow was captured on the edge of my bathroom sink; I placed it on a black negative space for added contrast effect. The original background (sink) muted the colors of the rainbow.

Digital Art

I grew up in tiny town in central New York State, with tree lined streets and large Victorian homes. Places like that are hard to find these days - but there is a tiny town here in Alaska that gives off those same kind of vibes, and that is where I captured this image.

"When you think about muscle cars, the Dodge Charger is at or near the top of the list of the most iconic cars ever built. Even when looking at a body of work that spans the entire history of the automobile, the Charger is there standing proud."

I like this guy. ;-)

Glacial erratic, that is - one of the countless millions of rocks and boulders dropped on the prairie by receding glaciers at the end of the most recent Ice Age, about 11,500 years ago.

I used digital filters to create a pseudo-infrared look for this image. No idea why; I just liked it that way. The rock was off-centre in the original (horizontal) framing, so cropping square allowed me to place it where I felt it belongs. It isn't always possible to get everything right when I'm on location. I was "thinking in black and white", though.

This is the second image of a black and white set I have assembled to "reset" my own creative response to the wild (and not so wild) prairie at my doorstep. I'll be back to the birds and other critters soon enough. This current offering is about getting back to the basics (with or without filter effects). To clarify: take colour out of the mix and what do we have? Does the image hold up? Is it structurally (ie. compositionally) sound?

Doc and I spent a lot of time fishing from our boat in the Lynn Canal, in Southeast Alaska. Our boat was moored in Auke Bay, just north of the capital city of Juneau. I captured this shot many years ago when the fireweed was at it's peak, just about mid-summer.

The sun is finally winning the war over old man winter. Rivers and ponds now are covered in overflow. I shot this nondescript scene on a flat day filled with gray skies and very little definition. That being the case - I once again decided that I'd spend a little time playing around in my photo software. I took this little landscape through several applications, and once it filled my eyes with color - I put down my digital paint brush. I sure wish winter really looked this way, we wouldn't be so starved for color about the time January rolls around.

Since we now have parrots in the wild in the UK, I thought why not, they probably eat red autumn berries like the native birds ...

Created on fmy iPad or the TMI Autumn Reds Challenge and the Handheld Art Challenge When Autumn Falls.

iPad applications used for layers, blending, and textures: PicsArt and Pixlr

I used Photoshop Elements 13 for Mac for minor tweaks.
