Winchester Bay on the southern Oregon coast, late September,2010...
The timing was great for photography: setting sun + incoming fog. We dined at a quaint little seafood cafe that
was built on a boat and 2 additional floating platforms. When someone walked in it literally rocked the boat! The name of this humble floating diner is Unger's...Check it out for a fun atmosphere
and a possible photo-op!
Yellow Tree & Curtain From the NW Afoot series. This
scene reminded me of a Cristo art project--Construction imitates Art, perhaps, actually. Also, it was interesting to
me that somehow the digital inner workings of my tiny Kodak interpreted the tree trunk as purple in color.
NW afoot Dwelling#1 Ambling west i came upon a nice little neighborhood
of refubished old houses. The sky came out a bit washed out so i selected with the wand and added some evening glow.
NW afoot, Dwelling #2I
enhanced this scene with tight cropping and increased saturation This really made the autumn leaves stand out as the red clashed
with the pinkish bricks. Also, the original shot was a little fuzzy so i sharpened the edges, increased contrast and
gave it some "film grain".
NW Afoot, Dwelling #3 As today's shoot was coming to an end, i nabbed this image just before hopping in the pickup and speeding
away to beat the rush. Later, that day i downloaded the images from my camera and tweaked them a bit in Photoshop before
uploading them to my website. This one was over exposed in the sky, but some overall darkening corrected
it...somewhat.
