modificacion de estilografica para crear una multi pen pick de 7 puntas y dos tensores.
stylographic modification to create a multi-pointed pen 7 pick and two turnbuckles.
i used only the transform tool (using lateral distortion - ie. horizontal or vertical only) to elongate parts of the photo to "erase" the pick-up truck. first i pick a rectangular section i want to transform then i copy that section from the original photo and paste it into a new layer, where i can apply the elongation. each transformed section will be in its own layer.
see the text in the notes above - start with the note at the left (near the SUV/minivan) and work to the right.
here's the result
note: this is not my photo - it is used here as part of a mini tutorial on how to make the pick up truck disappear. the original photo (owned by fred the man) was posted to down under challenge as the photo for challenge 317.
Lots of white tulips already opening at Willowwood but I hope to get back in a few days for the all out display. They strike me as more photogenic than the yellows maybe because of the colorful stripes and greater contrast with the surroundings.
I've been having some fun editing these flowers I captured at Apple Hill...the colors werent pretty so I converted them to b&w...
I couldnt decide which I liked better-with or without a texture...
whatcha think?
How's everyones week? Hope you have a good one....
Are these technically a daisy?
Arrived at my spot around 10:30AM, left at 6:10PM.
A little over 80F. and a light breeze. Perfect weather for hanging out for a few hours. There were a couple cars there, but I didn't see any people besides one guy who kept getting in/out of his Jeep. Okay, whatever.
10 minutes after getting there I heard the first train coming around the bend, and what a train it was, couple engines, and 78 autoracks in a row! What a way to start of my day.
15-20 minutes after I got to the spot, I messaged my friend Keith @railfanscajonpass that I was out there, he said he was on his way, he got there an hour or so later. By that time I'd already flicked 7-8 trains. One of the busiest days I've had in a long time. They just kept coming up and down the hill. I had planned to hike up the hill to look for a couple other spots to shoot from, but the trains just kept coming.
There's also some great under the bridges graff out at this spot, and I just didn't have time to hike over to it and flick it. There's also a spot close by that the RR stores ties, track, and equipment, I wanted to get some shots of that, again, no time.
Anyway, RRfans,(Keith) & Buddy hung out for another 5-6 hours until the sun dipped behind the mountains at about 6:00pm, and it was starting to get dark. Spent the day waiting, and listening for the engines chugging up the hill, or the horns blaring in the distance so we could finally jump up and do what we were both there to do. Him to film the trains and give his commentary, and me to get my flicks. He's a good dude to hang out with, good conversation, talk about life, problems, trains, etc.. Time just goes by so quick until the next train and we both get to work.
Saw lots of trucks, motorcycles, and loads of Jeeps drive through to go out exploring the local trails only to leave within' 20 minutes or so. There's miles and miles of trails out there, but it seems people get bored fast...
Had a great time, saw pieces from some of my favorite writers, and some writers I talk to occasionally.
It was a great day, and day I really needed personally, I've had a rough last few weeks, and I haven't been trackside in over a month. It was great to get out to the familiar sounds and smells of being out there next to the trains.
Backgrounds at this location are kind of boring, but the amount of freights and great pieces that come through here is crazy.

Every little bit helps. Thanks!!
I am thinking about picking up the cornet. As in playing it for real. Making a switch. I played a bit in high school. There is an old ugly horn that has been sitting over in the corner for a couple years that needs a minor overhaul, but it's playable. Half the finish is gone. Or maybe I'll try it some other day.....
Today I went picking some flowers :) Put some of them in a vase and experimented with some others to put in press and dry :)
In this picture I followed a guide i found online on how to create a "Nashville filter" in Photoshop. I'm not sure whether I like it or not. But anyway, it was fun trying something new.

This is a project that has been on the back burner for a while. When I originally uploaded this image it was as B&W and I received some comments asking to see the original color version and some suggestions as to how to possibly improve on the shot, by straightening the shoreline and adjusting the levels and crop. So I've uploaded the original unadulterated version, a straightened color version, a B&W with some levels adjustments and a square crop. A landscape crop was also suggested but I couldn't see how that would work so I've left it out. I'll leave these up for a week or so and if you feel like commenting on which ones you like/dislike, then all feedback would be appreciated, after that I'll be taking them down again unless any are particularly popular. Thanks to Steve in particular for his original comments.
Personally it's 2 or 3 for me. The shot was taken in Falmouth, New England with the lights of Martha's Vineyard in the distance.

The mystery and magic of the high heeled shoe.
Flattering and lovely for a moment or two.
Tall and lithe, beauty and grace.
Oh relief to remove them post haste!
Sometimes the accessories are as lovely as the dress itself. oh, I was told the water was indeed very cold!
