Inspire.
I think the title should be “I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!”.
Ok, I’m cheating. I didn’t take these photos. They are from my mom’s facebook page. The handsome subject is my dad. Photography credit goes Beulah Moss. After I dealt with my extreme jealousy I was inspired by these photos. I figured there must be another Newfoundlander waking up today that might need inspiration after looking out the window and seeing snow AGAIN. I don’t know how long this can go on. I’m not talking about the snow melting I just want it to stop falling.
We have to aspire to be successful in whatever we do so that we can be in these photos too!
Photographer: Beulah Moss
Location: Somewhere south of the 49th Parallel
Song going through my head: I am a rock, I am an island
Digging
In my first posts of the Battery I declared this little piece of history as being my favorite spot in St. John’s. And it is digging a deeper place in my heart every day. Last night Lori and I ventured out, ever braver, into the cold night for some more long exposures. I came away much more satisfied than the previous night but still with just a photo or two worthy of posting.
Here is one of the Battery. It was taken with a 4 second exposure but I did do some post work in CS3 to bring out the backdrop of rock. Basically I used curves with Luminosity blend mode (to keep the color saturation down). I also used curves with Multiply blend mode to darken a few of the brighter houses. And in the end I sharpened it…not sure if that was too far. I think I could have achieved some of this in camera…all the reason for another outing.
Sidenote: I’m beginning to fall in love with my tripod.
