Your pictures are amazing and I know immediately that they are from you. Do you try to make them like paintings as they have that look. The coast can look so beautiful if the weather is cooperating too. :)

Emmy - when I want to make a photo look like a painting I do this :) :

Nice surreal image Trog.Are you using Photoshop filters or do you work in Corel?

In either case, digital photography is so much more interesting because it puts so many more tools and possibilities one's hands. I guess the biggest issue becomes finding the time to parse through your captures and "react" to them in these editing programs. I've got quite a backlog of imagery dating back to the spring with another Spain trip looming just a few weeks away. Just as I clear away one batch of images, a new batch of captures piles up.

Once again, some nice shots.

This is next to the Kitchen restaurant at the resort. I don't know what the building is used for, but I love it!
 
The Kitchen at Powhaten Plantation

This is a restaurant with a limited menu but warm, cozy colonial atmosphere.

I work in Corel PaintShop Pro.

Here's a bit of discussion on that photo: http://www.tugbbs.com/forums/showpost.php?p=449478&postcount=151

I completely agree about digital photography. It allows me to express some creative urges that I've long stored. About thirty years ago I was interested in pursuing photography as a hobby, but I concluded then that I couldn't justify the costs involved to get serious about it. Digital photography opens up that whole world to me.

I also understand what you are saying about the backlog of pictures. My family often jokes about how long it takes me to distribute photos from family events; I don't just upload a bunch of photos right after the event, as the rest of my family does.

And I get the urge to go shoot more photos before I finish working on the ones I've already done. The photos I posted from the BC Sunshine Coast are the last of photos I took last March. The Big Sur pictures are from the week after that. I've done about 10% of the pictures from our Hawai'i trip last month, but I"m already ithcing to get out again with the camera!!

Diane,

I believe it's a restored Manor House.

And here's the same photo with a brush stroke art media effect. I think I like it better with art media effect applied.

Grand Banks 1970 or 71

A high school buddy invited DW and I and another high school buddy and her husband to go boating on South Puget Sound. As a result, the hs buddy and her husband invited us to spend the night at their home the night before the boating. The morning we went boating, I took the picture of Mount Rainier from their deck overlooking the Sound. We drove a few short miles to Joemma Beach State Park. This was the boat awaiting our arrival at the dock. The four of us had not seen the boat before. It was a great day of boating.

Beautiful picture, geo. Reminds me of an old saying "One thing better than having a boat is having a friend who has a boat.":)
 
Brett, that is way cool!
 
Fall Colors and Pioneer Peak

Made a quick trip to Anchorage for a business conference the last week of September, and stayed over for a couple of days afterward. I took about 700 pictures in two days. Much sorting to do.

Anyway, to start here's a photo of the Chugach Mountains, looking across the Knik River between Palmer and Wasilla. I believe the peak just to the right of center is Pioneer Peak.

Hope you got a chance to check out Wasilla!
My son just got a job in Anchorage so I'll be up there at some point, it's way up there for me!

here's a pic of a civil war soldier, doesn't look 160 years old
