Blue Heron Watercolour
Blue Heron Watercolour
I captured this image on the sailing trip around the great lakes. The Blue Heron is a truly magnificent bird. Although I did not paint this it is I do have control over the effect generated by the software and therefore it is not just an applied filter.
Abandoned Lawn Swing
Abandoned Lawn Swing – Colpoy’s Bay
This abandoned lawn swing sits on the shores of Colpoy’s Bay near Wiarton Ontario. I felt the grungy look of the swing warranted a grungy texture and frame
Created from a single raw image adjusted in Lightroom with the texture layer added in Photoshop.
Lost in Art
Lost in Art
This street musician at the St. Jacobs Market was lost in his art. It was as if he was being transported back to his home land playing for family and friends. Or maybe in a concert hall before thousands of fans. The instrument is a Niko which apparently is the most famous Chinese instrument in Japan.
I have been in a bit of an experimental mode with my photography lately. I guess you could say I have been getting lost in my art.
Possessed in Lightroom and Photoshop with a couple of texture layers added.

The first image has be adjusted in Photoshop and Topaz adjust and the second was further adjusted with Snapseed. I couldn’t decide which I liked best so I will leave it up to you to pick you favorite.

Hanging Pictures for the Woolwich Local Art Program Exhibit
This evening we put on display 18 of my photographs at the Woolwich Township Hall – 24 Church Street West Elmira, Ontario. I have titled this exhibit “Imagine” because it is a word that embodies the creative process from composing the photo to creating the image.

Rock Abstract
Rock Abstract
I love how nature can be an inspiration for creation. I found this rock while walking along the shore of Colpoys Bay. It was not nearly as colourful as this but had some cool lines and shades of green that caught my eye. With a little software magic I was able to saturate the colours and bring out the lines to create this abstract.
