Mount Shasta

This is Mount Shasta from the north side from Highway 97 just north of Weed California. I almost did not process the first image because I thought the dirt road was too distracting. I shot one where the road was not as prominent and almost wrote both of the shots off.  I am glad I decided to process the image, you never know what you are going to get until you finish a HDR image. It is hard to tell what all the shots will look like when combined.

Abandon Church and Horses

This is an old abandon church in Grass Valley Oregon. I found this site sounds like they are going to restore this church. I would love to see that done. Then I saw the horses in a field right next to the church with the snow. The white horse cooperated with me and got into position. When I processed the image I decided to try the Oil Paint filter of my recently updated version of Photoshop CS6. I felt it the texture of the horse hair and field was perfect for an experiment with that filter. The second image of the horse is the oil painting.

Chelan Red Orchard

In the last post I said it was hard to find an apple orchard. Here is a couple I found, I don't know what the little shed was for but it looked like a bus stop.
