Photo To Photo Art

A good friend recently commented on one of my Photo Art images saying that while Photo Art wasn't necessarily his 'bag', he thought it might be cool to have a slide show where the photo art image transitioned into the original. Trying out his suggestion, I discovered I preferred the opposite -- the original transitioning into the photo art.

So with much thanks to Ron for the idea, here is my presentation of 'Photograph To Photo Art'.

The Photo Art images were created using Dynamic Auto-Painter with pre & post processing done in PaintShop Pro. A trial version of DAP can be downloaded from Mediachance (http://www.mediachance.com/dap/)

Other Photo Art images can be seen in my Photo Art gallery.

Please feel free to leave comments here on the blog or in any of the photo galleries.

Spring has Sprung!

The weather has been so much warmer than normal that the flowers have become confused and are sprouting up almost everywhere.

Took a walk around my area yesterday (19 March 2010) and took a few photos of early signs of Spring.

Even along the St Lawrence river, all the snow and ice has disappeared. Admittedly everything is still very brown. But if the temperatures continue as they have been, it will soon be green.

Recent Trip to Vermont

Had a 2 day getaway down to Vermont recently. Beautiful weather. The sky and the lake were a beautiful shade of blue.
