Kayaks

Kayaks come in a rainbow of colors. The whole range was on a rack at Collinsville Canoe & Kayak, where we took a basic paddling class this morning. I used PhotoForge to reduce the image to its simplest elements of shape and color.

John

This is John, the love of my life. We're both smiling this evening because we got good news in terms of his prostate cancer: right now it's in remission. The photo was taken with the Lenses app and processed with picture show.

Movement

In this scene, there is the movement of the kayaker and the canoeists, the paddles, and the water. The paddlers were just setting out onto Messerschmidt Pond in Deep River CT. Processing was done with PictureShow.

Patriotic

The crowd gathers before this evening's Fourth of July fireworks at Stanley Quarter Park in New Britain. I did just a bit of basic processing in PhotoForge.

Discovery

A woman discovers just what she wants at our town farmers' market. TiltShift Generator puts the focus on the subject.

Nautical

I've often featured views OF Paper Goods Pond...this is a view FROM Paper Goods Pond. We took our kayaks out on the pond this evening. Mama swan wad vigilant and steered her three cygnets into a shallow stream where we could not follow; but we saw lots of turtles as well as a heron that soared majestically overhead. Processing was done in FX Photo Studio.

Fanstasy

A young girl dreams by the shore of Paper Goods Pond. This is a bit of a complex image: I used PhotoForge for basic adjustments; a filter in PictureShow to transform it into a dreamy B&W; then Montage to blend then...all on the iPhone.
