Water Droplets

The top of our grill after a rain.  Look at that wax job.

The Transition From Summer to Autumn

Early morning lighting in the mid-west as the cooler nights set up the morning ground fog in the fields.

Same Balloon

The balloon is the same but the background is different.  There wasn't much of anything but a hot hazy sun coming up that morning just a few days ago.  I started with Lightroom to make a few adjustments.  I didn't realize how bright the background was going to be in the first post as I was concentrating on the flame.  In the second photo the balloon was somewhere in the 45 deg. range or nearly north east.  All I had was a bright blue sky to work with, no texture.  So I did what I wanted to in Lightroom and then moved into On1 Photo10 to add the two different cloud layers.  In this one I even turned the layer about 45 degrees to the right to give some motion to the image.

Morning Silhouettes Looking East

Need I say more?

Back To The Project

Been a little busy lately so I haven't been working on my latest project.  As I asked earlier, can you guess what it is.  Hint.....made of wood.  There were all kinds of parts in one of the posts on this but the actual parts were hidden amongst the spare or left over wood.

In the following pictures there is at least one that might be a give away.  Also in one of the images there is a hint in the background.

Okay, here we go.

Item one

Item two, background hint

Item three  

Coming Out of The Mist

This is a TR3 and is very rough.  Inside is in need of a total make over.  Not sure how hard it is to find parts for these cars today as they aren't the popular ones.  More sought after models have a lot of new aftermarket parts available but I guess if you know your cars of this era and make you would know what is interchangeable as well.  The TR4, 6 and 250 are literally the same car in body parts etc.

I took this picture on the fly so the original car looks like it is running downhill.  Didn't like that so I tweaked it and then decided to make it look like it was coming out of a fog and driving out of the printed picture.  There are people standing next to it and there is another Triumph parked next to it.

Back To The Healey

This is just about the mirrors that are mounted as far forward on the fenders as possible.  I took two shots for no other reason than to play around with spotting blur and clear in these iconic mirror sets.
