"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!

2021, the long hot summer of our discontent!

 Yes, it was one long HOT summer!  In addition to the record-breaking heat along the coastal ranges in Oregon, Washington, and into Canada, we saw temperatures in this Northern Idaho area I NEVER thought we would see again after moving away from the high desert of Southern California in 2006! The hottest temp was an afternoon high of 112 degrees (44.44 C) on June 30th. But, hot, hot days, too warm evenings, no rain so dusty and dry.  Record heat, the hottest weather ever recorded in Idaho, and, according to the stories, only the beginning of the heat that will probably be the "new normal" from this point on. Seems that the same "high-pressure bubble" that causes the cold and snow of winter weather to almost completely bypass our region of the pacific northwest in winter causes record heat in our same region of the pacific northwest in the summer! Since my last post, mainly, we have just been living and trying to avoid getting Covid. Stacy and I got our vaccinations...

Spring, and warmer weather is in the air!

  I had started this post on April 15th, now it's the 23rd so this is now history! Warmer temps, for a few days anyway. After the last few weeks of more like winter than spring temps, it is pushing 70-degrees (21.1 C) today! It's been clear, not windy like the last three days, and generally nice weather. We can only hope it will continue to be good weather with it not too dry for the late summer since it has been a dry winter and spring so far. The last time it was particularly dry it was a very bad summer for Hornets. Most places in the region have many of those yellow and greenish hanging hornet traps set all over the place. We do too!  Time to get the traps out, cleaned, and set out for the season. You have to get the traps baited and up soon as with the warm weather the hibernating queens come to and start looking for places to set up new nests. That one year though, hornets were everywhere! The forest was alive with the buzzing of thousands (millions?) of hornets. Dozens ...

So, Winter Decided It Wasn't Done Quite Yet Around Here!

After last weeks post of me talking about the somewhat short winter so far, it got cold! I mean really cold over the weekend, like two mornings with the lows of +8 (-13C) and +9 (-12C) and 'highs' around 25 (-3C). No one I had talked with thought it would be that THAT cold again this season! Then last night, 02/13/18, there had been a "Winter Storm Watch" issued for the time period of 10 PM Tuesday to 12 noon Wednesday for "up to" 11 inches of snow. Luckily, we didn't get anything near that with about 4 inches overnight and the snow stopped around 10 am and warmed into the mid-30s during the day so what had fallen had begun to melt, clearing off the roads and walkways but staying on the grass. However, for its last blast, we still could get a few more inches of accumulation between now and next Sunday the 18th. Then, the long-term forecast has the daytime temps going back into the mid to upper 30s again in about a week. We'll see! On Monday t...
