I was traveling each day between Albury and my son’s farm at Wymah, while attending APSCON, and noticed this little chapel erected in memory of the pioneers. Anyway I could not resist the temptation for a couple of shots when the rain clouds followed me up the highway. The purple is my favourite flower…..... NOT! We call it “Salvation Jane”, most call it correctly – Paterson’s Curse. The chapel is just short of a place called Bowna, NSW, Australia
Taken inside an historical turn-of-the-century home at Ft. Bridger, Montana. The way the light from the window illuminated the bottle on the table was just too much for me to resist :-) To me, it was reminiscent of the Dutch masters.
Morning sun filters through the trees at John Olivers Cabin with a few dogwoods in the background…The cabin is almost completly surrounded by split-rail fence also…...The Oliver’s bought land in the Cove in 1826 and this cabin site remained in the family until the Park was established. The house is typical of many found on the eastern frontier in the mid-1850s, and reflects the skills and techniques brought into the mountains by descendants of British and European immigrants. This cabin is located on the Cades Cove Loop Road, in the Great Smoky Mountain N.P.
Sepia Toned of a previous…Morning sun filters through the trees at John Olivers Cabin with a few dogwoods in the background…..The Oliver’s bought land in the Cove in 1826 and this cabin site remained in the family until the Park was established. The house is typical of many found on the eastern frontier in the mid-1850s, and reflects the skills and techniques brought into the mountains by descendants of British and European immigrants…..Split-rail fences require much more timber than other types of fences, and so are not common in areas where wood is scarce or expensive. However, they are very simple in their construction, and can be assembled with few tools even on hard or rocky ground. They also can be built without using any nails or other hardware; such hardware was often scarce in frontier locations.These fences are sometimes refered to as Worm Fence due to the back and forth placements…This cabin is located on the Cades Cove Loop Road, in the Great Smoky Mountain N.P.

Featured in Rural around the Globe – Jan. 31, 2009 With a gentle nudge from my dear mother, and some awesome girlfriends I decided to load my first attempt with an HDR image. The original image of this old building and pioneer wagon was taken at the Ameliasburgh Historical Museum in Amelisasburgh, Ontario. The Ameliasburgh Historical Museum has grown from one building, in 1968, to a full pioneer village. For more information about this wonderful museum please feel free to visit the Prince Edward County Website This work of art was completed using Corel Painter X and Photoshop. / / Fine Art Gallery / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST
For an online painting-challenge, we where asked to make an image that would represent Australia! / It interested me, but did not know exactly how I would do it! / I ended up on the site of a couple of Globetrotters! http://www.bourlingueurs.com/ / I scrutinized their photos and found 2 who appealed me very much! / One of Ayers Rock , and one of a crashed car in the middle of the dessert! / I melted them together to one photo! / Mark warned me that I painted “Kata Tjuta” instead of “Ayers Rock”! The representation of this mountain and that derelict car described in my mind how I see Australia! / Beautiful nature and heritage nurtured by the Aboriginals, and the car representing the pioneers, adventurers and technology trying to find its place in that great big continent! It’s a watercolor-painting / 30cm x 21cm / 300g
/ This is an image of an old wooden fishing vessel in the Port Townsend Marina in Port Townsend Washington where I live. I have just recently started to play around with HDR and this is my first attempt at it.
/ HDR – Camera used Nikon P90 – Tripod Used / This image was made with 3 exposures at: / exposures times: .002’s, .01s, .006’s / exposure bias used: -1.00, 1.00, 0.00 / the focal lenght of 29mm with an aperture of f/3.2 was used. The camera was set on Aperture Priority with the metering mode set at Matrix. / The software that I used was a freeware program called Qtpfsgui 1.9.3. This is another shot of the F/V Pioneer. I just love old wooden fishing boats. She was tied up in the Port Townsend Marina in Port Townsend, Washington.
BEST viewed large to see the details ! / I discovered this scene in beautiful Montana, USA, an old cart left in a field, with a couple of fine horses hanging around. I knew it would be a shot I would ‘do something later’ with in Photoshop, since on its own, photographed in the middle of the day in too strong sunshine, it wasn’t very exciting light ! The scene made me think of those pioneers that travelled across America, in the hope of better things. I shot on my CANON EOS 40D, with polariser attached to my Tamron 28-300 lens, set at 150mm, iso 200, auto wb, f6.7, 1/350sec, (wanted to blur an uninteresting background) underexposed by half a stop, RAW file processed as a pseudo HDR in Photomatix, then edited in Adobe CS3, levels/curves adjustments, LAB colour for saturation, added a dark vignette, then a little Orton, still wasn’t happy (!!) so I further added a couple of texture layers, which I adjusted with layer masks/opacities/blends etc. / I had a great deal of fun processing it !! The texture is my own, one I took in Namibia, in Kolmanskop mining ghost town ! FEATURED IN / http://www.redbubble.com/groups/rebel-group /
