Grapes
It had seemed like such a long time since I had been out exploring with my camera. I had some company this weekend as my Mom and Grandpa came out for a visit. Driving home from dinner Saturday night was tough for me as we had a beautiful sunset developing as I approached home. I know Mom would have understood if I had taken off with the camera but I just vowed to get out on Sunday after the visit was over.
Sunday turned into laundry day but I did manage to go exploring around the neighborhood a little. My neighbors across the road have a little mini vineyard in their side yard and this year appears to be a good year for the grapes. I couldn’t resist grabbing a few images. After the visit with my family the grapes just solidified my nostalgia as Grandpa had some wonderful Concord grapes in his yard when I was growing up. I remember stealing bunches to eat as I rode the lawn mower around earning my allowance. I’ll have to see if I can manage to talk the neighbors out of a bunch or two when the time is right…

Going Wide
Weekly Photo Challenge – Club P52 – Wide Angle Lens
The last week has been a catch-up week for us as everyone was busy with life stuff. Our latest assignment was to use a wide angle lens for something other than a big, expansive landscape. We were going to try to look for creative ways to use all that angular light collection. Shall we see how well I accomplihed our task…
What was I thinking?
I am not exactly sure what my frame of mind was yesterday when I posted the image of Little Pixley Falls. Although I am happy with the composition I would have normally processed the image as monochrome. So, as an immediate redo, here is the image that was in my head when I clicked the shutter…
I’m going to blame the oops moment on me signing up for the Adobe Photographer Create Cloud program which allows me to use Lightroom (which I have since I started this journey) and Photoshop. I have been using Photoshop Elements but the cost difference between upgrading Elements and buying into this program just made sense for me. Luckily most of the basic functionality is the same so I was able to jump right in but I am looking forward to learning what the big brother Photoshop can do. 🙂
