Strobist info: two SBs fired into silver umbrellas camera left and right -- not certain but 1/16th or 1/32d power.
I love sunflowers in full bloom, but there's something about the fading ones that draws my attention too. Maybe it's just the end of summer and the signal of fall in all its glory!
It's that time of year when the leaves are trying to hold on to that last glimpse life but they are 'fading' fast...fortunately for those of us that enjoy colors (photographers really do!), the green 'fading' into yellow, orange, and red makes for a beautiful time of the year. Get out and enjoy the last glimpses of Autumn...

While my camera gear has been away to the repairer, which should be back this week, I have had a chance to play around with some of my images on the computer creating some interesting effects using Photoshop.
Using texture layers and various blending modes this faded old photo effect is something I,ve enjoyed creating.
My good Flickr friend Roberta uses these texture effects for some of her images and she has some great results. Please check this link to see some of her great work.

For anyone who is interested, the textures can be downloaded from a great Website created by Jerry Jones. Follow this link to check them out.

Faded sign on the side of a building in Huntsville, Alabama for an automobile parts store that has been out of business for many years.
"Faded Glory"
Some places you stumble upon by pure chance, while others you must actively seek out well off the beaten path; this was definitely one of the latter. Far off pavement, navigating some fairly treacherous dirt roads into a fantastic Montana canyon you find this relic of days gone by.
Once a witness to fast freights and passenger trains running the Milwaukee Road's transcontinental route, this old bridge spanning the namesake creek near the start of Sixteenmile Canyon now endures a forced retirement, thanks to the Milwaukee's abandonment of their "Pacific Extension", almost 2,000 miles of track, back in 1980 which is to-date the largest single railroad abandonment in American history.
Situated on the outskirts of the ghost town of Lombard, trains can still be heard rumbling by on the nearby Northern Pacific route, now operated by the Montana Rail Link, which follows the Missouri River through this region. As for Sixteenmile Canyon though, it has become a dusty, overgrown grade, and a few tunnels, winding along a babbling creek, disappearing back into nature more and more as the years go by.
Once a pulsing vein that pumped goods and people back and forth across our nation from Chicago to the Pacific Northwest, that glory is now, unfortunate as it may be, faded.

Sometimes that old adage, "Stop and smell the roses" really needs to be taken to heart. When visiting a place as grand and large as the Forbidden City, it's nice to occasionally stop and examine the finer details that went into building it. While these eaves edge tubular tiles were probably made from molds to help mass produce them, it doesn't take away at all from how impressive they are. I think the chipping and discoloration over time only adds to the charm.
24/01/25. Sydney Trains operated Comeng built V sets V43 & V31 are seen as they make pace through Tascott with V31 looking rather weathered and worn.
If I remember, I was standing right outside the old church (see my previous uploads) when i shot this one. I've tried to go for a canvas/painting look here. I thought it suited the scene..
View on black ( just press L key) as this is best. The minivan you see was our rental and I think my Mum was having a drive to see how it handled. (while there was nothing but desert to smash into!) lol
Comments welcome.
Thanks guys for all the recent emails, comments, invites & flickr mails. I'm trying to catchup with y'all!

- www.kevin-palmer.com - Some of the most fiery sunsets of the year happen in November. They often sneak up on me because they happen so early. But if I can get out in time, they are usually worth it. This was shot at the Double Eagle Trail, one of Sheridan's newest paths.

thank you, but No Invites or awards please
The invention of Television is hotly disputed between Philo Farnsworth and Vladimir Kosma Zworykin.
I was always told it was a Scottish guy called John Logie Baird,
I prefer that romantic notion, imagining him sitting back looking at his invention with distain saying something like "Aye, but their is fuck all on" :)
I'm drawn to past-their-prime flowers, like the rose from the Ladd Addition in Portland. Almost looks like gilt edging. Love the cascading feel.
