Pixley Falls State Park

Yesterday was full of activity. I made my way up to the Remsen Barn Festival of the Arts in the morning and was able to squeeze in a trip up to Pixley Falls State Park in the afternoon. I should have been completing something for work but it was too damn nice out to be thinking that way… LOL

I came back from Pixley Falls with some great images. I was finally able to get an image of the main falls without any people in the scene. I processed the image normally but thought I would try something different. I watched a video Saturday night from Pat Saizan Photography on her workflow to create a watercolor image from one of her photographs. I really liked what she created.

It has taken me a couple of tries today to create something similar and I think I still need some more practice but it was fun learning a different technique. Normally I would use one of my plug-in applications but this new method allowed for more control over the final product. I’ll try not to overwhelm everyone with this new “art” I’m creating… 🙂

I am still waiting for parts for my PC. They are expected Thursday afternoon but I will have to reinstall the OS and all my apps before I am back to my photography haven. Itching to work on an image I scanned through the memory card on my backup camera (Olympus OM-D E-M10). I found this image of a tree I captured while on vacation in October. I transferred the pic to my tablet and processed the file with Snapseed.

Not satisfied my normal processing routine as I was looking for something a little different. There is a great app called Prisma which I have on my phone so I loaded it on my tablet and stared to play. This one below felt right for my mood last night…

Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden

Springfield, MA

I had to travel to Springfield, MA for a training class through work. The class starts at 8am so I naturally left the previous day to ensure I would be here on time. It had nothing to do with me wanting to explore a different city with my camera. 🙂

I was hoping to explore the Springfield Armory which is a National Historic Site but the operating hours probably are not going to work out for me. What I did find as I wandered around the city near the hotel was the Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden. The sculptures are scattered throughout a museum quadrangle with a very large display in the center park. I wish I visited at a time when there were leaves on the trees to add a little more color and a less barren look to the area. It is still a very cool display…
