Nature Color Studies.
Yet again „the walk“, I guess you know every single tree as well as I do right now ... BUT: I tried few things with the rendering, both while taking the shots and when processing them. When shooting I used a Kenko Nostaltone Orange, which is basically a diffusor and warming filter combined. That's where the color and softness comes from. I used a zoom lens all the way open, which gives vignette and fall off and a bit of additional softness. when proscessing them in LR and PS I payed attention to „fill the highlights with color“ and control the highlights in general. There was a beautiful „soft sunshine“ today (partially cloudy), and the light was so nice I hope I could capture that a little bit at least.

Hi everyone! It's hard to believe these additions to the ice tree series were taken only two days ago...the high was around 60 here today, under a sunny sky...all that remains of the ice display is a pile of ice on the shaded ground...after I finish this series, I PROMISE I'll fill your viewing with flowers, sunshine and anything unwinterlike!!! Have a wonderful evening...and stay warm! : )
Studio time and a sketchbook pomegranate study. These actual dried pomegranates were snipped from a bush right outside the studio...and included a small bulbous grey spider which crawled out of the pod painted in the lower right corner. I am NOT a fan of spiders..so he was wisked from the scene immediately! I went with paint straight in...and added some ink flourishes as decorative highlights. Another day in paradise? Ahh...You betcha! .:)

Have you ever been in a museum of human cultures and wanted to get a better look at the objects in the exhibits and perhaps touch them? If so, then the Cathlapotle Plankhouse at the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge is the place for you.
In this photo, Portland State University students pause to take in the wealth of information that members of the Chinook Indian Nation, the US Fish and Wildlife Service and others have laid out for the public in a replica of a house the Chinook people lived in before contact Europeans, and for too short an interval thereafter.
======================================================================================================================
On a pleasant October day, Portland State University's anthropology department held a field trip to the Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge to see the Cathlapotle plankhouse and the site of Cathlapotle village.
Long abandoned, the actual village, which is a long way from the plankhouse and hard to get to, was once a bustling riverside community. Lewis and Clark visited the village and recorded their experiences.
In the 1990s, the late Ken Ames, the dean of Oregon archaeologists, conducted excavations at the site together with other archaeologists and field students. Today, it is off limits and protected by fearsome stinging nettles. In any case, it's nothing much to look at. The thrill comes from listening to archaeologists' descriptions of the Chinook nation's way of life.

Since time immemorial Chinookan Peoples of the Lower Columbia River have tended to the oak woodlands, camas fields, and wapato patches of what we now call the Refuge, maintaining habitat for wildlife while supporting the lives of the people who called this place home.
Based on the Chinookan village of Cathlapotle, the Plankhouse and the objects inside of it offer a tangible link to these original stewards and provides a unique site for the interpretation of our region's natural and cultural heritage.
Built in partnership with the Chinook Indian Nation, Portland State University, The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and numerous other community partners and volunteers.
This House serves as an education and interpretive center and is used by the Chinook Indian Nation for cultural events throughout the year. Visit the Cathlapotle Plankhouse and connect with local indigenous culture.

I was sure I can never have the time to do deliberate photographic studies, let alone - on a predefined subject and with a deadline. November sunshine proved me wrong: I had 5 minutes, the subject was 'shadows' and I saw them, in my own sitting room and garden. Next day I even found time to crop and clean them a bit, and here they are - for your critique :)

A sculpture of a high rise building in Beirut, abandoned while only half finished, as civil war erupted across Lebanon. The building acted as a base for snipers throughout the conflict, and remains in place to this day; too large to implode, and too tall to knock down, the building has become a monumental reminder of the horrific conflict.

Really only looking for two things with this one: first, what fun could I have with camera movements (camera angled down, rear standard returned to vertical to keep trees from converging, but front standard with exaggerated forward tilt, to throw the top 2/3 of the frame out of focus; and front swing, to shift plane of focus roughly along the front of the open shed; the result is some weird geometry on the shed roof, exaggerating the apparent convergence of the roof edges). And second, how much detail from the shed interior could I retain. Altogether, I'm pleased with the result.
