The Golden Hour

The Golden Hour

from; digital photography review

“The “hour” part of the golden hour is a misnomer. The length of time depends on how long the sun plays on the horizon. That changes by the time of the year and the latitude. Near the equator, the golden hour lasts but a few minutes as the sun moves relatively quickly. Closer to the poles, the golden hour can last for hours.

The quality of the light during the golden hour can be dramatically different from what comes before and after. The difference in time can be just a few brief minutes, so be prepared.”

How To Improve a Photograph by a “Bazillion” Percent!

How To Improve a Photograph by a “Bazillion” Percent!”

“Bazillion” is another annoying Joey word.

Found this tool on photo elements 10 by Adobe.

I think it’s called magic brush or magic something. I’m to lazy to open up the program right now to find the right name.

It does great things to improve a photo that could’ve been great, but had one thing in it that if it wasn’t there would have made it an award winning shot.

Here’s a great example below.

A Before and after.

Tell me what you think.

A Beautiful “Angel Fish” Watercolor

A Beautiful “Angel Fish” in Watercolor

From Carol McKenna
“Asian Brush style painting of an Angel Fish complimented with watercolor from Sakura Field Sketchbox which Paul Frontiero has posted about using on post card stock ~ I have used this sketchbox for several years now and really like it. I prefer the pan watercolor versus the tubes; fits more with my fluid style of painting.

Below are photos of my work which of are ‘She Spirits’ done in sennelier oil pastels, Asian style brush paintings , Haiku on digitally manipulated photos (also called Haigas) and Photography. They can all be viewed in Kahn Studio and Good Morning Gloucester Gallery. More of my work and information about me, Carol L McKenna may be seen at my blog www.acreativeharbor.com ~ Hope you will stop by. ”

Memorial Day 2012 Gloucester, Massachusetts

Retired U.S. Navy Capt. Earl Kishida served as guest speaker read this poem.

“It is the Soldier”
It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.

It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.

It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.

Charles Michael Province, U.S. Army

A Sea Of Flags!

A Sea Of Flags!

In Honor of my Dad and to all he spoke of in glowing words. He remembered his service in the Pacific Invasions of WWII With Honor and all that came after them in the wars we have fought Since.

The Navy men, Marines, Windtalkers, Merchant Marines, Coast guard, Army, Airforce and those that have given themselves in the secretecy of war. Also to those that Serve here at home; Policemen, Firemen,  EMS and those that help us remember them and take care of them, like the Gloucester Veterans Administration, etc.

“These heroes are dead.  They died for liberty – they died for us.  They are at rest.  They sleep in the land they made free, under the flag they rendered stainless, under the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful willows, and the embracing vines.  They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in the windowless Place of Rest.  Earth may run red with other wars – they are at peace.  In the midst of battle, in the roar of conflict, they found the serenity of death.  I have one sentiment for soldiers living and dead:  cheers for the living; tears for the dead.”

  ~Robert G. Ingersoll
