We took a drive around the block, near the Beach House. And I got some pictures of some other lovely homes in the area. This was taken on Uncas Rd.

I went out last August, and took pictures of this Classic, old, Buick Skylark, that was sitting with a "For Sale" sign on it. It was a very rainy day, so I beefed up the image in Topaz Adjeust and some other effects before posting in B & W.

I was just noticing how much different the gas prices are this June, compared to last year at this time. We were paying a lot more last year. They still aren't cheap, by any means, but at least they aren't what they were a year ago.

For the betterment and enjoyment of the sport of riding motorcycles since 1924. And still riding!
Host to the annual High Sierras Overniter, The Sonora Pass Ride and The Hare and Hound Run (which began in the 1940's and evolved into the Hoot Owl Poker Run).

This image came out looking pretty nice, compared to the original file, after using Topaz Simplify to give it some oil painting features and fix the white balance. The shot was taken early in the morning, around 7a.m.

A Cold Saturday in January. After clearing the driveway, I was able to make it out of the neighborhood, and go to the gas station to get my dad some newspapers. Since they weren't delivered to the house because of the Snowstorm. I took this pic as I was driving down Reynolds Dr. towards Westfield Rd.
This is when I first got my Sweet new Pentax DSLR, oh my.
I was finally able to have interchangeable lenses and shoot RAW format images. Yikes.

It was 2 o'clock in the afternoon in September of 2014, as I attended South Meriden's First Annual Car Show. On this Sunday, I was lucky enough to have nice weather and bright sunshine, to get some really good images of these Classic Cars. I love shooting car shows, because the owners and spectators are so friendly and are willing to strike up a conversation about the car that they brought to the event. This Mustang looks to be a 71-72 model. Maybe a Mach-1, or Boss, looking at the hood. But I love these old cars cause I've driven so many of them when I was younger and in High School. They were much more fun to drive than any of today's offerings, and had tons of power to them.

Playing around with my Tamron 28-80 mm Lens, that I haven't mounted in a while. I kind of like the results that I'm getting now from it, now that I'm more familiar with my Camera Body, and it's controls. I no longer suffer from the focusing problems I was running into when I first got this gear. The K-x is tricky to auto focus in the first place, because it doesn't show you, in the viewfinder, which focus point it decided on using. So I set the camera to use a manual focus point that I usually use directly in the middle of the frame, and then lock in, and re frame my shot. This lens is actually pretty sharp at smaller aperture values.

This is a picture of a beautiful house on Westfield Rd., in Meriden, CT. I love the stone wall along the perimeter of the property. I was lucky to capture this pic from the seat of my car, as no one was behind me, and I was able to stop in the road for a moment to get the image.

There was a really hard frost this morning.....while looking out the window I saw the sky turning pink, this vapour trail changed colour before my eyes.
This is also my first attempt at a drop shadow in photoshop, still needs a little bit of work....
I hope you're all not too exhausted with the rushing around ;-))
I'll be around to see your photos in between wrapping some pressies....LOL

A very cool sunrise, in Yalesville, somewhere around Neil's Donut Shop. I love the colors in the sky, taken just after 7 a.m. on March 6, 2015. Tamron 28-80mm Lens seems very sharp. Even for this hand held shot at 1/20 sec.

I enjoyed the townt coming out to this event and all the amazing entries that I saw that day. I can't wait till next year's event.

Fun fact:
Did you know that the name "orchid" derives from orchis, the Greek for “testicle”?
They are getting ready to close this Catholic Grammar School in Meriden. St. Stan's has been around for a very long time, and was once the most populated parochial school in Meriden. I went to the St. Rose School, which was nearly as popular as St. Stans. It really is a shame to see the churches in my city have to close. We had so many, back when I was in grade school. This is on the corner of Akron and Olive Streets.

SAMSUNG Cellphone at Casa Mia Ristorante, in Rocky Hill. Awesome place to have a drink and eat. Great Italian Cuisine. Dad took me out to lunch yesterday here. We had a great time, even though they were having a post funeral Buffet reception at the time we were there, but everybody seemed in high spirits. Fun place.

Basic adjustments in LR5, flower selection, layers, textures and blending in On1 9.5, style drop shadow in CS6. New techniques for me but pleased with the results.
We were having a great time, last summer at the "Beach House", in Clinton. This image was taken in August, when the streets were flooded because of the work the town was doing on the sewage lines, in the neighborhood. I really liked the reflection that I was able to get in this picture. It looked great in color, but I opted to go with a B & W version. I owe this picture to my dear friends, John and Renee'. You guys are the best.

The new Cumberland Farms, taken in March of 2015. After a long rebuild, they finally opened this state of the art filling station. Taken on Broad Street, in Meriden, CT. I think the building was built very tastefully, with some pleasing colors and dimentions.

Such a gorgeous Ford Deluxe. A fine example of American engineering during our industrial revolution. I love these older cars, and try to get out to car shows while I can, living up here in New England. I was lucky enough to get a perfect day, on this Sunday to take in the sun, and take lots of images of classic cars. The First Annual South Meriden Car Show. This is one of the first pics I took that day, and decided to mess around in Lightroom and Photoshop CS6 with the image to bring some more life out of it. Taken with K-x, and smc PENTAX-DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL Lens, on Sept. 14, 2014.

A nice shot of downtown Meriden, looking West from the East side of the Train Tracks, on E. Main St. Hope I didn't over bake this one too much. But I'm experimenting with NIK Software on the RAW files I took yesterday with my Pentax (K-x.)
