Catching up: Remi

Remi came down with Andrea a little while back. I did some processing of the photos and here are some of my favorites, more to come! The last two are the same pic, different processing.

Wyeth Homage

I was driving by this field a while back and it reminded me of Wyeth's famous painting "Christina's World" for obvious reasons. I hopped out and snapped this pic, thinking "I wish I had a model here!"

Same photo, different treatments

Melinda and Zorro at the Wicked R Ranch

I went back out to the Wicked R Ranch today becuase it's been a while and I wanted to catch up with some folks. Melinda asked me if I could get a nice shot of Zorro, her relatively new horse. I'd say this suits the bill! I'd love to shoot the two of them when his coat is done shedding and we're in better light!

Melanie, Version II

I did this a little differently from the earlier version. It reminds me of European Old Masters paintings. I'm not comparing myself to a EOM, but thats my first reaction to the photo.

Foggy morning

I liked how this tiny little stand of yellow and green was surrounded by brown, dead stuff. The daffodils are such a pleasing sight as winter turns to spring. They re-affirm life to me. Here, they are soaked in the fog/dew and still carry on...

Foggy Morning

This is both square and black and white. Is is, therefore, by definition, ART. Actually, I liked how small this tractor looked against the thick wall of fog. Thats a big @ss tractor!



I couldn't decide between black and white or color


Leading lines all over the place on this!

There's no place like home, no place like home

I did these from the back yard at my house. I loved the blues and the poofy white clouds. The trees look like nets waiting for cotton candy to catch on them...

More that I've been waiting for...

I like the old west feel of this


This might be better than the other one I liked so much. The band of sunlight right near the treeline is pretty cool.

I've had this photo

on my mind for several weeks. I knew I wanted to get the incredibly green grass, with a band of trees and deep blue sky... This morning started out as a foggy mess. I'll post pics of that later, but this after noon it really cleared up, with pretty poofy clouds in the sky. I knew I had to try for this.. and here it is!

Something a Little different...

I've been wanting to try some stuff in photoshop.. I like this as a first go!

Just Messin with the camera on the Side of the Road

I wanted to get some pics highlighting the green cover crop on this farm on my way home. I thought I'd dry zooming and clicking at once. I kind of liked this.
Edit: I took down the gross animal pic...

Ballerina Mel in the woods

Last of Mel for tonight

I love these in the woods!

Studio Mel

I'll let the pics speak for themselves!
