Farm Equipment or something from Mario Bros...

Following the lead from Scott at scottlawphotography.com My first attempt at a phun photo.
Playing with filters.

 I'm not sure if this one is phun, or just weird. I don't often apply filters for over the top effects, but on this one I decided to just play with it and see what happens.  I think it was a neon glow-overlay-blend kind of thing. Try as I might, I don't think I could repeat the steps. Not sure what I think of it, but I had phun!

    I saw your comment regarding Scott's phunpost, came over for a look and WOW, this industrial shot is really cool. I'm not one for those funny filter things but it so works when used in a mechanial theme. I was impressed with your other pictures too so I just signed onboard your blog. You've got me thinking about looking back into my photographs now for some engine shots of various cars and motorcycles I've owned in the past.

    I'm sure that is a great photo, but all the home-repairman in me sees is a headache!....Just kidding! I think the colors are cool!

    Hi Sinbad,
    Or is Sinbad the lovely cat? :)
    Thanks. I was kind of thinking of some of the hdr photos I've seen, and that was a little of my inspiration on this one.

    Cars, motorcycles, old tools make great subjects. Can't wait to see what you come up with! Thanks for stopping by!

    Thanks Stacey,
    That's what caught my eye when playing with the filters. Some of the colors suddenly popped out. The original was rather muted.

    lol - Hi Ken
    The stuff of nightmares! I think the pipe works/faucets were on a steam engine. All sorts of pipes, dials, levers, and such. I can't imagine how any of it worked!

Silver Creek Falls State Park, 03-19-11

Image
Warning: Long post alert! A week or so ago Ron and I took a hike at Silver Falls State Park . Warm summer afternoons will find hundreds of people hiking at the park. It's a constant battle of passing slow hikers...usually in groups, and bumping past oncoming hikers. Not exactly a peaceful forest experience. Take a hike on a cool, wet afternoon, and you'll find far fewer hikers. The hike is called the Trail of Ten Falls . On this day we will visit 6 of the 10 falls, and be treated to a number of unofficial falls running off the slopes of the canyon. South Falls is probably the most visited of all the falls. It's close to the day use area, and can be viewed without hiking down the canyon. The trail goes behind the falls, but we opt to take the foot bridge for the better view. An aside, my co-worker claims to have repelled over South Falls (and came up short on rope).  South Falls, 177 ft. Canyon Trail Off we go down the trail and to a series of stairs taking ...

Overnighter at the Coast

Image
March 1-2, 2026 Shake down cruise, er camp. Found us a teeny, tiny camper van to run about the countryside wreaking havoc wherever we go. Meet the new money pit. God help us it’s another Dodge, or rather a Ram. A Promaster with the infamous terrible transmission. What can we say it hit a price point that no Sprinter could meet. We actually adore her. I just hope she doesn’t fail us on some dark and lonely road.  We spent too much time and money getting her appropriately outfitted, then took ourselves to the coast for a night of camping in the rain. If anyone knows our past camping history you would know it always includes rain. Fortunately the rain wrapped up over night and the next day was pretty nice.  Spent some time at Yaquina Bay on Monday. The sea lions were busy hunting lunch and having a very successful hunt. The water was this wonderful color of blue and turquoise. Didn’t know it at the time but per another post the color is from herring that are spawning in the bay a...

Yamaha V-Star 1100

Our son brought us along to be the voices of reason, strength in the face of temptation, shining examples ruled by the mind and not by passion. He probably should have brought someone else. He sold his pickup, and was looking for it's replacement, a four wheeled replacement that is. There were several options to be viewed up in Portland then after that a visit to one of the motorcycle stores to do a little shopping. I wanted try out some jackets - the never ending quest for the perfect jacket. We should have known it was a mistake to even point the car in the direction of Portland. We knew there was a bike up there, exactly what he was looking for. The whole auto shopping thing was just a ruse, a deception. We were really there to look at bikes. We were only fooling ourselves. I went to the apparel department, father and son went to the showroom. The bike of his dreams: 2006 Yamaha V-star 1100...with ape hangers Later when I joined them I found my own Yamaha...don'...
