/ Sailor Girl is a mixed media production on canvas textured paper, I used ink, pastel, and some acrylic…..inks are mainly black, acrylics are mainly white, you can see the canvas texture showing through the pastel, which gives it a nice textured appeal I am really into sailing boats, hope you like this one :D Here’s another one available in a print at last!
This old Tugboat, “The Canadian National #6”,used to pull the barges of CN Rail Cars across Okanagan Lake before there was a bridge in Kelowna. It was once moored right in front of our home on the lake shore in Kelowna back in the late 60s and I almost lived on board this tug at one point as they were looking for someone to live there and care take the vessel. But I was still under 18 and my Mom would have no part of that . She was afraid of letting go as mothers do and concerned I might drown or something I guess,lol. / Anyways this tug is now moored in Penticton, next to the SS Sicamous and is slowly going to be restored, with the goal of having it eventually able to run on the lake once again. I took this capture late in the afternoon on Sunday and was struck by the reflections of the clouds in the water. Photo taken May 3/2009
Two young girls enjoying a late afternoon pony ride along a beach. “PHOTO INFORMATION” Photo taken on Jan 18/09 at 4:49pm. / Camera; Canon 40D / Lens; Canon 100-400 f 4.5-5.6 L IS USM lens. / Tripod; Manfrotto, including joystick head. / Taken at 1/640’s at f/11, 400mm, manual col bal 6700 kelvin, iso 800 Shot in Raw, downloaded to Lightroom and edited to create a simplified painterly effect. Exported to Photoshop CS2, where I did a shadows/highlight adjustment, than added a water color filter and adjusted the layer opacity to 65%, than upped contrast to + 10. I should note that I also hand painted the smallest girl’s riding hat from blue to black, as well as some small areas on the pony, including parts of the pony’s bridal. It’s really too bad that Redbubble’s large preview is so limited. It would be nice to be able to magnify at least some areas of any given photo to 100%, so as to get a better impression.

Share this picture: Challenge winner and Featured in Photography 101! Taken in Port Nolloth, South Africa. Canon 400D, f/5.6, 1/800, 17mm, ISO 100.
This picture I laughed at when I looked back through them. It reminds me of the commercial for cellphones “How many bars do you have?” Again taken in NYC where again I don’t know I wasn’t looking for street signs while my husband was driving, I guess I should have been a better navigator. When the camera is to my face everything else seem to disappear. Hope you like it. Taken with a Canon 50D Lense 70-200mm IS USM
This was one of many ships located in the San Francisco Bay last weekend. My Mother’s Day Present was a wide angle lense, and this is one of the first photos I took with it that I really noticed how much I can fit into the frame. As is straight from the camera / N~Natural Lighting / Any advice or critque is always welcomed. :)

They say that physical activity is a fountain of youth. I certainly agree when looking at the Tugboat Daniel McAllister ! This is the largest preserved tug in Canada, and the second-oldest preserved oceangoing tug in the world. She was originally launched in 1907 under the name of Helena , working the Atlantic coast. In the 1940s, she was converted from a steam to a diesel engine, while serving on the Great Lakes. She underwent a complete refit in 1956, and was renamed Helen M.B. Then she acquired her final name of Daniel McAllister in the 1960s (after a member of an important ship owning family), and retired from service in the 1980s. She is now displayed in the Old Port of Montreal, as part of the Musée maritime du Québec (maritime museum) to ensure her preservation. This is a composite made of the three images below: My original image was shot in the Old Port of Montreal, 2 weeks ago. The boat looked so new compared to the old grain elevators in the background, which are only a year older, but look much more the worse for wear. One of the textures that I photographed on the same day, to which I added a vignette. Available for free download under a Creative Commons Licence. This texture is a photo of a rock wall stained with limescale that I shot three weeks ago. I thought that it fit the theme very nicely, and gave a nice aged look to the image.

A must to see if you are in the area, this 72 ft tugboat that was called “East Point” was pushed ashore in August 1969 during Hurricane Camille. The owner of the property bought the boat and opened a gift shop in 1970 that had been there until Hurricane Katrina wiped it out. The boat survived two of the worst storms in U.S. history!
Moments of miracles, / Happen like this, / You don’t expect, / A tugboat to be your canvas, / A face, a moment, a splash of sea water, / And the Boat, becomes an icon, / Flash of white in the sun, / Powering through the salty sea, / Don’t you love the smell of the sea?
A barge with a crane dredging the small harbor next to the dry-docks in Port Orford, Oregon, USA. Locals supervise from the adjacent beach. The small harbor at the Port of Port Orford has two hoists (the vertical yellow objects) that lift the fishing boats up onto the dock for dry-docking, and lower them back down to go fishing, crabbing, or urchin harvesting. Heavy seas and limited space make dry-docking the only viable option for the boats. The harbor was once a natural deep-water harbor, until a jetty was installed to create a shelter for the boats from the mighty Pacific waves. The jetty can be seen behind the dredge. Unfortunately, the jetty slowed the water down to where the sand dropped and filled in the natural deep-water harbor. Now the harbor needs to be dredged occasionally as seen in this photo. Port Orford, Oregon is the most westerly town in the contiguous United States. Its population of 1,100 survives primarily from the fishing trade.

As the new bridge across Okanagan Lake opened for traffic last summer, the long process of removing the old bridge began. Here you can see the new bridge and a float section of the old bridge in the foreground tied up and awaiting it’s final fate. The tugboat, named the “Rascal” is being used along with another tug to move these sections around. / There is some controversy as to what will be the final fate of these old sections as some want to sink them into the bottom of the lake and others want them saved perhaps for a new pier or mooring for houseboats. So they sit here until a final decision is made and then they will either be towed to an area north of Kelowna where the new sections were built, and be dismantled before they are sunk or they will be towed away to where they may be used for a new purpose. / The crane at the far end of the bridge is on a barge and is being used to complete the dismantling of the old bridge, which will soon be completed. / Photo taken April 6/2009 from the west end of the bridge. /
From Seattle, Washington looking to Bellevue / On Lake Washington The blue haze is from the Blue Angels practicing overhead. The blue smoke filtered down giving a smokey illusion to everything. This beautiful wooden tugboat caught my fancy and was a gorgeous sight on Lake Washington, just east of Seattle. / Camera; Nikon D60 ~ Lens AR-S Nikkor 18-55 mm
