Breanne's 30th Birthday

2012-02-12T11:00:00.000-08:00

Taken back in January, our daughter turned 30!

This was the cake she wanted and I made for her.

Her brother added the candles, and with the help of her dad and boy friend they lit them all.

And she blew them out.

Although it was just a white cake, I did color each layer is shades of pink.

These are just a couple of photos I took of JoePa over the past couple of years, coaching at Penn State for 61 years.

▲ A photo I took of him getting off the team bus and made it into a good luck image for his 4000th win.

Some Packards I found fun and interesting...

1934

Not sure of the year, love the paint color and the grille!

I like the garage didplay behind the cars!

A Harley used in dealerships

I just walked past this one at first then when we were looking at the engine display I saw the rumble seat! In my opinion this needed a better spot in the Museum, I never saw a windshield in front of a rumble seat.

Not that fond of the color pink, but this is pretty nice!

Love this white luggage

Lincoln Highway Display

Fall Snow Oct. 29th 2011 - Amish Buggy in Centre Co. PA

2011-11-05T16:22:00.000-07:00

As we were going to Penn State football game we came up on an Amish Buggy. (shot thru the windshield)
We passed it, (see last pic) And we turned onto another road, turned the window down and took a couple of shots out the window.

I took a quick shot as we passed it, but it wasn't to good, the horses head was cut off and was not in focus, but part of the buggy was good so I cropped it to show the snow on their windshield. How can they see?

Our New Campsite at Hemlock Acres

2011-05-30T15:50:00.000-07:00

On May 22,2011 we went to Hemlock acres just to move the camper to its permanent site. We were planning to move it Saturday, but heavy rains on Friday delayed it a day.

This is a pic before moving on it, this is where the camper will be.

More stones than need but, too late now! And, lots of branches to cut and use as firewood.

View from the driveway/parking area. Our neighbor here in the picture is also from the old campground.

After Dave pulled off the temporary site he backed it all the way down the road...

... into the shared driveway. And into our futures neighbors site.

Then pulled into our new site, Josh helped!

He had to drive into the neighbors site then back it to where he wanted it.

After maneuvering back and forth several times he decided to back it all the way back to the future neighbors site ti try again.

And finally it got there!

Now, fast forward to May 28th, with the help of my brother we got the deck put back together.

And TA-DA its ready for camping!

The fire ring we ordered from Josh and Whitney's Gift card from Christmas!

And my Christmas present from Dave an Dutch oven.

And Peach Cobbler!It tasted very good but was burnt on the bottom.

Happy Memorial Day!

2011-05-11T17:11:00.000-07:00

Friday we went to Ocean City MD. for Springfest, Breanne and I took a detour to the beach and she found this baby sea turtle.

It walked a long long way, but we think it was the wrong way.

It was headed away from the water, and I am not sure it was moving. We did not touch it.

I hope it lived, but afraid a seagull, might have had it for lunch.

2011-04-29T19:09:00.000-07:00

What is old is new again! 34 years ago when I was 19, I designed and made my wedding dress. Today when I saw Kates dress I immediately thought of my dress, the tight lace sleeves and the upper lace bodice. My dress $50.00 - Kates dress $50,000.00

Of course these are not my clicks of my shutter, just wanted to have some Royal fun!!!!!
Scanned a wedding photo and made it black and white, found Royal dress on the internet and mirrored it so we are facing the same way and turned it to black and white then made a diptych.

Happy Easter

Friday Night Gang Get Together

2011-04-22T22:33:00.000-07:00

For around 34 years a group of friends have been getting together on Friday nights to socialize. It started after some high school friends graduated and there new co-worker friends got together on Friday nights at a place called Pappy's Pizza (which no longer exists). We recently got together on a Saturday night so some who can't come out Fridays could reunite. It was a fun evening.
We have new people joining us from time to time ...

... and the long time friends reunite!

We are planning a picnic get together to include all our children and grandchildren this summer.

Other future events will be meeting on Friday mornings for breakfast when we retire! And we plan to all go to the same retirement home!

Photos for Robin Lathroum

2011-03-06T01:19:00.000-08:00

After a recent photo club meeting I met a wonderful lady who liked my photos and she asked if I would be interested in photographing her fiber art and of course I said yes!! After a couple of phone calls and e-mails and her making new samples, we got together and this is the end result!!
You can find her hats at The Village Artisans Craft Gallery in boiling springs.

http://www.villageartisansgallery.com/

She uses some recycled materials, hand dyes fabric and uses vintage buttons and jewelry to create these beautiful and very well made hats.

This last one is for a man or woman, photographed to show the intricate work on the top!

She needed the photos for entry in juried art shows, so wish her luck!

What a great label!

I quick shot of the mannequin!

Good Luck Robin!

Edits to Snow Pics

2011-02-19T21:03:00.000-08:00

I did some special effects of the snow pics from January.

This one I added a layer of snow falling

Not sure if I even like this and I am not sure of all the stuff I did to it.

added a texture layer of scratches and made it black and white

After I turned this to black and white I did a salt and pepper filter on it from the editing software I use.

This is what it looked like before.

Did a dramatic crop and added a quote I found on the web.

Added a texture layer and words.

Tired Of Winter?

2011-02-15T15:44:00.001-08:00

Although I am not really tired of winter, I am anxious for nice weather to get out and photograph something. I recently went thru some of my summer photos and found these, they are from the Lavender festival I went to in June. I was so excited about the lavender photos I took I never posted these!

So until Spring, these will have to do!

I actually would like another snow fall!!!

Winter Drive

2011-01-29T08:18:00.001-08:00

We went for a small drive to town to get milk, the back way. This first pic is the same set of canada geese only I had a zoom lens, I stayed in the car and clicked away.

On a farm near the creek was a bunch of buzzards, this one just sat on a big round hay bale.

He did decide to leave...

Venturing on a different back road we found this barn and you will be able to see it in the background in some photos with the horses.

This is my fav! ▼

These horses really wanted there pictures taken!

See the old barn far back in this photo.

Their ears were perked! And I love that they have no halters on!

There was a total of 4 but the one was shy or very hungry.

This horse jumped a little when he heard the click of the shutter!

Yet on another road.

Just down from the old car was a sunflower field, I found this most unusal as to why they wern't harveted. But anyway I will venture back that way to see if they plant them again.

Just off of Fish and Game road, on Brough Lane.

The Conewago creek in East Berlin

Thats about it, for the snoow on Jan 27th 2011

I will have some of these posted again with special effects as time permits.

A co-worker asked me if I could edit a picture of her daughter and a friend, it was taken I think camping right after the girls were eating and the older girl had a little food on her face and she wanted her teeth whitened some.

An Editied Photo from Another Photographer

2011-01-05T02:49:00.000-08:00

I have been looking for different blog challenges to get more experience with my photograhy and came across this editing challenge at http://www.alexbeadonphotography.com/blog/2010/12/20/video-post-edit-this-photo-74-edits-of-1-photo/

The challenge was over but I asked if I could use his photo and my edit on my blog and the anwser was yes!

This is the photo this photographer took.

BEFORE

This is what I did with the photo

AFTER

I used the same layer I used on the "blue christmas" ornament photo I posted earlier. Also did other basic editing things including, noise reduction, sharpening, blemish removal, different crop. levels in brightnes and contrast. I even gave her a little bit of a tan!

I have done this with other photograhers photos just for practice since I don't get an oppurtunity to do portraits that often.

If anyone has a photo you would like me to edit, e-mail me debapaka@aol.com

I was really happy when the photographer commented on this post! ♥read comment▼

Gettysburg National Cemetery

I have seen photos of the wreaths honoring the graves at Gettysburg but never saw them, so while we were passing thru we went to see, you need to park and walk in to be able to see them.

The Soldiers Moument

This is the site where Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address

It has 4 statues on the sides.

The New York Monument

Many large Holly trees, this is just a branch of one of them.

The 55's Photo at a Bowling Alley

2010-12-11T05:41:00.001-08:00

I have been wanting to go to this bowling alley to take a photo with the 55 ever since I saw it on the way to the first car show last spring. So on my birthday before breakfast we drove to Surbuban Bowlerama on Queen Street. They open at 10am on a sunday morning and I was hoping for no cars in the parking lot, but one was there right in front. I am sort of glad cause it made me look for different angles to get away from the parked car.
Some of the photos I edited the stripes out of the parking lot and if you know the area I had to edit out the TV and radio towers that are behind the building. Also edit ed out was security cameras.

The last one is my favorite! On the one end of the alley was a bar & grill called Alley Opps! The pink sign in the window gave just the right amount of contrasting color to make this a 50's inspired shot!

The Old Church on Egg Hill Rd.

After we moved to the other campground we drove around that Saturday night and Dave remembered this old church we found a couple of years ago when we were ridng the motorcycles. Here are the pics I took while we were there, there is a fence around the church and graveyard.

A Closer Look at Fall

Some with texture layers some with words some with both.

Cold Play the TV was on while I was editing this picture talking about the band, I thought it was a cute addition to the photo! But I believe the group is Coldplay.

Most of the texture layers are from artist photographer Kim Klassen

But this last one I made myself, first by photographing a piece of brown paper towel adding handwriting, shapes and darkening areas.
