Camera club trip to the redwoods

The Villages Camera Club had a fun day going to the Redwoods in Felton, Calif.  Here are three of the photographs I took that day.

Fog can be interesting

The other day when I walked out of my RV I saw thick fog around the trees... Here are a few renditions of one photograph:

First the original photograph: (click to enlarge)


Then I worked on it in photoshop and got this photograph:


Finally by playing with hue and saturation I make a different color rendition:


Its fun to try to come up with diffent ideas.

Be sure and look over the fence

The other day I was walking along and just happened to look over
the fense that borders the Villages with its neighbors..Here is some of what I saw over the fence: (click to enlarge)


I really enjoy the nostalgic look of the buildings..I made it look a little painterly with Nik and Topaz photoshop plugin's. A fun project.

Spring colors on the Golf Course

During the Spring I like to take a walk and  photograph the Blossoms on the trees..especially the pink ones..(click to enlarge)






There are many walks around the "Villages" with nice spring colors...


Here is a walk  by a few wild Geese on the lawn:
