Treasures Along the Road

Just can't pass up a great rusty truck in the woods!

My friend Stan and I went on a fun motorcycle ride up to Mt Rainer National Park. It was gorgeous up there with still 10 feet of snow along the road, however the images were difficult to capture handheld.

On the way back home we stopped at this wonderful roadside attraction, a place some would think was a collection of junk and where I find treasure. When capturing this image I was careful to position the vehicle so I hid all the unwanted items in the background either behind the vehicle or the trees. I find that moving just a few inches right or left and front or back can make a huge difference. These small movements can make or break your image.

The processing workflow on this image included many fxPhotoStudio filters using Blender in a variety of blending modes. I will be creating a handout for the workflow of this image and teaching it in my classes. I also used VintageHD for the frames. As always I used Filterstorm  for final touch up to detail blending and image management, including sharpening.

More Relics

Junk Yard Relic - Only 50,000 miles!

I keep going back to the images I captured this afternoon on my way to Portland, OR. The memories of Mr. Relic are fond and etched in my memory forever. He may have a gruff demeanor but his heart is large.
I just finished preparing prints to bring to him later this week since I will be heading south on Saturday for another wonderful photographic road trip.
I think he will be impressed with how well the iPhone captured and processed his Rusty Relics.

Happy New Year!

This is my first post of 2011, and the first of 365 images I will post to this blog this year. I have wanted to commit to such a goal for a longtime and this is the year. I have been diligent to post to Facebook in the past and want to include this blog in my almost daily ritual. 

I am very passionate about the possibilities of iPhoneography reaching the masses. The iPhone has so much to offer over the point and shoot camera and I believe this device will replace many of them this year. How could that be you may ask? Well first of all you always have it with you, and the best camera to use is the one available to you! The next best reason is the option to immediately share those images with family and friends. 

If you have an iPhone and you want to learn more about taking photos with it this will be a great place to learn. 

So come join me for the year and we will share together what happens!!! and  you will see 365 images taken and processed by this iPhoneographer!

iPhoneography classes from beginner to advance are available. Please contact me for further information. teri@terilou.com
