Very very exciting way to start the day/weekend, learning my Donegal Bay sunset photo was on TT! Many thanks to all of you who put it there.
I worked on this shot tonight using pic monkey and four vertical photos taken on Beaver Island, and I was doing so while on my new chair in my now habitable study, complete with Internet and cable TV. I feel luxurious!
Still much to do, but now feeling it will get done. Thanks also for your kind words!
Here's a photo of this truck 2 years ago... interesting to see how it is decaying: http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2013-08-21
I'm surprised there is anything left here after 2 years! Here the wheels would be removed, the glass taken out or completely smashed. Makes a gritty photograph which is always good!
Interesting to see what has happened in two years. I like the four panel presentation - was that hard to achieve? So pleased you are settling back into your home! Now you are there things will get done! It's great to know you feel "luxurious"! I bet you didn't think this day would ever come! Enjoy!
It's most interesting to see how much it has degraded over the years. I read through some of the comments posted on the original, I liked the comments about the 365 diet! I feel rather guilty at present as I am not doing much commenting at all. I have always tried to respond to everyone who has commented on my pictures but I am not even managing that at the moment.
So glad you are set up in your study.
So glad you are beginning to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel with all you building work. I like the way you have processed this and it's interesting to see what's happened to it over two years. Fav
Love your processing and so interesting to see the decay. Many congratulations on your no. 1 TT. Well deserved. And how wonderful it should happen just now, adding to your happy feeling!
Very fun to see the before and after views.... it has changed quite a bit in two years. Isn't it amazing, in a luxurious way, when things suddenly come together and a major task gets completed? So glad that things are coming together for you in the new/old home.
I would not have guess this truck to be the same one as yesterday's photo subject. Time has taken a serious toll on this old machine. Your moving experience sounds like one that would talk a toll on anyone's nerves. Good grief, you've been through so much since that devastating fire. So glad you smelled the smoke...
So glad to hear that your home is becoming habitable and that the top gun got stuff done in a hurry! This is really fun. I'm not sure re the dividing lines....doesn't do much for me but I bet as a pano it would be fabulous. Decay is sometimes quick and amazing isnt it!
What a great old truck that you could get so many different photo opportunities from you. I am undecided about the tetraptych because I do like the style of David Hilliard, maybe there are too many different shades of green. Did you realise that there isn't a border on the right.
@elaine55@jgpittenger I smiled at both your comments. This was a shot I took to practice in PS -- combining into a pano and also layering to create a single shot. What happened was (no tripod), the perspective was off on the left two shots so the trunk became huge in the pano, and then I had way too much in the right hand shot and no time to go back to crop in LR which also would have thrown of the alignment. This was what I ended up with and, lacking anything new to post, decided to use it anyway. You've caught what I see are the two major flaws.
@pamknowler This is fairly straightforward using picmonkey. Take four vertical shots, lined up as well as possible. Then export to jpg and import to picmonkey collage. Then combine in the right order using 'ducks in a row' style, adjust for height/width. You can use 'edit' to make it larger and align it if needed. This one isn't great because of the fourth shot being 'off' and I didn't have the others aligned properly in camera so had to cut off the top or bottom here and there.
So glad you are set up in your study.
Huge congratulations on #1 on TT, well done!!
So happy to hear you are settled in your brownstone and can pick away at it when you have time........enjoy it has been a long time coming!
