TR6 and Sharpness
You can take the word “sharp” to mean a lot of things. In this case I’m applying to the crispness of a very cool automobile… My love of TR6s is enhanced by this photo. For starters I love the color! I love the clean surface of green with the saddle interior and the snap of those red-line tires. Like a drive on a crisp autumn morning this TR6 has it all!
I did some playing with the sharpening tool in Adobe Elements – to the point where I think you could put your fingers into the tread of the tires.
TooJay’s in Chevy Town
TooJay’s Gourmet Deli is a wonderful Jewish Deli-Restaurant in Central Florida. Love the potato pancakes, love the corned beef sandwiches. Breakfast and brunch are crowded for a good reason – it’s wonderful!
These Chevys were clean and lean. Great looking cars and fun to watch and remember past times and think about who had this car when you were a kid, or a young adult – or “My Dad had one of these!”
I rendered these in “grunge” – i thought it was the best fit.
Week’s Work
Over the past couple of weeks a took a couple hundred photos, but didn’t have much time to work with them, post-processing and so on. Next week proves to just as busy, I can’t seem to breath Monday thru Friday. Living for the weekends here! I’m in one of those situations where I can’t relax. I have a pile of books I want to read, but I can’t relax enough to read even five pages. I have three high-profile projects, and I have to keep my wits about me. I wish I could retire, but that’s just not in the cards right now.
Drunk on the Kool-Aide
OK, I admit it. My name is Paul, and I’m an HDR-aholic! There! I said it. I’ve been sloppy drunk on HDR lately – I can’t seem to stop myself. I know it may be a bit over-the-top. In some ways it really grabs you and is easy on the eyes. In other ways — well, it’s a bit much. I’ll be doing this for awhile if you want to leave and come back in a couple of weeks. If you think it looks OK, then hang around.
I was in Orlando yesterday at a meeting at the Citrus Club (la-de-da). Terrible meeting, but I took some photos from the top floor where the dining area is. I’ve always loved emeralds and sapphires – and that’s what I was trying for with these two buildings.
I took this next one a year ago in Altamonte Springs at Cranes Roost Park. Its the tower of … @* ? I dunno what the tower is supposed to be for or what it represents. Its just this faux, artsy-fartsy tower here in Central Florida.
