Christine > Day 152: Shelby Cobra June 1, 2009 I find myself ahead in my photo a day (I have been taking the POD the day prior to posting- it's less pressure this way) and behind in my commenting. I tried to comment last night but Smugmug was down. It's off to work but I will catch up tonight. I went to Martha Clara Vineyard and Farm to shoot the farm animals and was surprised to see a display of these beautiful old sports cars. There were over 20 of them- I created a gallery under "things" if anyone is interested in cars. I'm not usually, but I did fancy these little guys.
Christine > Day 19: Snow Covered Train Tracks with a Side of Discouragement January 19, 2009 I had kind of a crummy day at work and took a drive during my lunch break. I snapped this photo before running back to the office. It's very plain but I had high hopes that I would learn a skill in Photoshop and jazz it up. Maybe paint a bright blue sky or use some sort of color pencil to colorize the trees. How hard can that be? The program was just delivered to me a few days ago and I have not used it yet. I have no idea how to get around in the program let alone do any color painting. I'm usually very computer savvy and figured PS would be a snap for me since most programs are. I was unable to do anything with the photo other than make it "sort of" sepia. There are probably hundreds of thousands of people that use PS, right? Please tell me it won't be impossible to learn- someone, anyone?? When I ordered it through Amazon.com, the seller went out of his way and e-mailed me to warn about how complicated it is. I was sort of insulted and replied that complicated is my middle name. A little cockey, right? After a few hours with PS I feel like I should change it to simple lol. Any encouragement?? I just purchased a how-to book by Scott Kelby upon someone's recommendation. I'm hoping I can devote some time this weekend to learning a few skills.
Christine > Day 143: Chives May 23, 2009 I pretty much spent the late morning on my stomach in the front yard with my macro lens on. It was a good morning. :)
Christine > Day 141: Rail Road Tracks May 21, 2009 There are other versions of this shot in my alternate POD gallery. BTW - does anyone have a flickr account? Like it? Hate it? Worth the 25 bucks for the year? I have a membership with Photo.net but it expires at the end of this month and I won't be re-joining. The people on there aren't as nice as Smugmuggers lol!
Christine > Day 84: Seagull March 25, 2009 Wooo-hooo!! This may not be the most amazing image on Smugmug BUT..... it's my first serious attempt at Photoshop. I feel like doing a back flip!! I took the photo of this seagull on my way home from work but the sky was ridiculously dull, gray- almost white in the original photo. I was so annoyed that I went straight to Youtube to find a video on making the sky bluer. It took me almost an hour and it could definitely use some improvement lol but I did it! :)
Christine > Day 109: Canada Goose April 19, 2009 The best man at my wedding, also named Ken, lives in New Jersey in a town called Spotswood. He has a very long commute to his job in downtown NYC and I wondered why he lived so far out until I saw his place. His house is a modest but beautiful ranch that sits on one of the most beautiful properties I've ever seen. It's a very large plot of land for the NY/NJ area and it goes way back beyond a gorgeous in-ground pool where there is a stream and that flows into a round pond. He had landscapers come in to create what looks like a park, complete with a bridge to cross the stream and a great rustic rock and wood bench to relax by the pond. Apparently NJ has a serious number of these geese and it's been quite the chore to keep their back lawn "clean" so he and his wife aren't as enchanted with these geese like I am. I approached this one to get a photo and he gave out a loud hiss. I put on my 70-200mm lens and fired from a distance. ;)
Christine > Day 199: Sunday Morning Waffles July 19, 2009 I had some leftover buttermilk from last week's cherry cobbler and decided to make some buttermilk waffles. Click here for a few alternate shots of my Sunday Morning Waffles. As with all my food shots, this recipe will be available on my food blog.
Christine > Day 89: Ken at the Beach March 30, 2009 It was FREEZING at the beach and the sun was about a second from setting- towards the horizon it was a nice pink but it didn't show up in the photograph. I just snapped about 5 images than ran back to the car and waited for Ken to come back and take me home to the warm house. I was working with photoshop and some online tutorials and this is the crummy image I ended up with. I figured it would be better to post a lousey image than to skip the day so this is it. I'm disappointed but not deterred from working on photoshop further. Every dog has his day, right? This is most definitely a miss.
Christine > Day 155:&nbsp; 9 Year Anniversary June 4, 2009 (my actual anniversary is June 3rd but I shoot the day before I post) I can't believe it's been nine years since Ken and I were married.&nbsp; Time flies.&nbsp; Most normal people go out for a romantic dinner complete with lobster and champagne.&nbsp; What did Ken and I do?&nbsp; We went out to our local Italian restaurant/pizzaria and had linguini with white clam sauce and then went to the movies to see a horror flick (Drag Me To Hell).&nbsp; That's how we roll.&nbsp; I was going to post a shot of Ken and I holding hands in the restaurant but opted for this seedy looking shot of Ken all alone in the theater.&nbsp; We were the only people watching the film lol.&nbsp; The others are in my alternate gallery which you can see by clicking here.
