Photo: Mill Pond

This image appeals to me because the deep blue fades to white at the horizon in both the sky and the water. I also like the curling action of the clouds.

This image appeals to me because it shows a new growth of pine trees in an old growth pine stand.

Technical Notes
I've lightened the foreground using Adobe Photoshop because the flash on my digital camera wasn't strong enough to create a proper fill-flash.

Photo: Tethered

This image appeals to me because its angle gives the appearance of the tree projecting into the sky while the vines tether it to the earth.

Technical Notes
As you can probably guess, I've altered this image using Adobe Photoshop to punch up the color of the sky and subsequently draw out contrast between the vine wrapping around the tree trunk and the tree's branches.

Distracciónes

| | Share

My job has been a living hell recently, so I decided it might help my mental health if I create a distraction for myself. I'm taking a Beginning Spanish class. The course is Tuesday nights at The Cambridge Center for Adult Education this summer. Here's the course description:

Learn to speak Spanish in an engaging and supportive environment. Students will have opportunities to develop basic skills in grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, spelling and conversation.
