"Tilt Shift" examples

Last night I thought I might as well post three of my "Tilt Shift" photos on the blog so those without access to my Web Albums can understand what I was raving about!

As I'd said yesterday I think this type of photo manipulation is really interesting, taking photos of things and make them look like models, love it!

Anyway, these photos.
Top one was taken in 2007 when I was flying over the town and is the county Sheriff's office that also houses the jail and the drivers license office. Tall building at right is the county Court House.

From the same flight in 2007, this photo is of the county Library with the Veteran's memorial and the towns very large flag there to. I think this photo works really well as the flag was blowing in the wind that afternoon. Overcast really helps with the lighting to make all more 'model like'.

The last photo below, I think came out the best of these three. It was taken last November at the giant train station in Berlin Germany. This facility is several stories of rail lines for all the coming and going traffic. This technique, as well as the ambient lighting at the station, produced an image that looks like it came right out of a very expensive model railroaders home setup!

These are just photos I had that turned out to work really well for this type of photography. I took them, tweaked them and am actually pretty pleased with the outcome. Like I'd said yesterday, there are hundreds of thousands of examples of this type of photography from all over the world at various locations on line.
Check others out with a image or video search!

Life in a Northern Town, In Winter

So, here we are, early in 2018. While our area gets cold, we don't get the really cold, the cold of Montana and eastward. Where we are, in North Idaho, 30 miles from Canada, we are in a bowl of a valley. That's why we wind up with mostly overcast days in the winter. We are also pretty well protected from the strong blizzard kinds of winds and the weather patterns that are causing the conditions in Montana eastward, a parked high-pressure system that steers that super cold weather up and over this area and into Montana and eastward. We are into, what is usually some of the coldest weather of the year for this area, for a normal year! When was the last of those, normal years, thanks to climate change, whether from natural cycles or what's been changed by human expansion? Anyway, since before Christmas the area has been lows in the 8 to 10-degree (F) range (-13 C to -12 C) with highs in the upper teens to low 20's (-6 C or so). As mentioned the last post, we'd

Yeah!! The Elections are over!!! For now.....

Yes we're sure glad the elections are over, that is a really good thing. But we're even more happy that they're over because of the CONSTANT commercials on TV and the, seemed like, every night calls at home. With the stretched out length of this election "season" (as it was referred to on many programs!), and with those increasingly annoying TV adds and calls to sway votes, we quit answering the phone all together, were really bad and lasted so much longer this time around. And with our ability to see regional TV from other locations in the US and Canada, what we didn't see for more local stuff, we saw the same kinds of things for those areas instead. It was interesting at times, and thoughts of how things could have changed if the actual election had been held earlier with the rush of pro Palin, or if Obama had chosen Hillary instead of Biden, just so many things this time around had potential for some serious changes to the outcome! But we've got what

Other things from the past week

Hornets, Yellow jackets, and Wasps, a very, very bad year this year for them around here! And not just in our area but most of North Idaho from what we've found out. In fact when Stacy stopped at Wal Mart to buy some new bait for our traps, Wal Mart was sold out and across the street at Home Depot, she was lucky to get there when a new shipment of traps and bait was being opened. She was told by the clerk that their shipments have been selling out in less than a day and as quick as a half hour as so many people are having problems with the bugs! And hospital and doctor visits have increased dramatically too due to stings according to the news. It has been both hotter and dryer than normal locally this summer so mosquitoes were way down, a very good thing! But now in late August when the "skitos" would be low anyway, the Hornets, Yellow Jackets and Wasps, and yes we have all three types on our place!, have been going crazy quietly building nests all over the
