Stormy Morning

I went to a Camera Club workshop this morning at The Lagoon House. The Lagoon House sits on the banks of the Indian River Lagoon. This was taken from the boardwalk behind the Lagoon House facing east looking over the lagoon to the beachside. I liked some of the cloud formations occurring over the ocean and took a few shots. I applied Topaz's Adjust 5 Clarity filter, about mid strength, and then applied Topaz's B&W White Chocolate filter.

Retired...For Now

This Volvo was in a wooded area at my brother's house. It may once have been in one of those Daytona car shows like Becky attended this week, but now it waits for someone to restore it to its former beauty...or not. My brother said the owner left it there. I was looking for a tutorial on how to process an old car in Photoshop for the most impact, but didn't see one that was right for this photo. So, I applied some Topaz magic and this is what I came up with :).

Chasing Nirvana

I went with Robin to the Fine Arts Festival and I think I probably took this photo at the same store she took her gnome; although, I didn't see that little guy. That's what is so fun about going places with other photographers...everyone sees and captures different things. The store was a florist/plant nursery and had statues and figurines for sale to use for garden decorations. They obviously caught both mine and Robin's eye.
I used Topaz 5 Film Collection Vintage Grunge II. Yes, Topaz has another winner. I liked so many presets it was difficult to choose which one to apply.
