Bench Series #49

Posted on December 6, 2015 by Mama Cormier

….. for the month of December Jude from Travel Words challenges us to post a bench of our choice

When I saw that I could post a photo of any bench that I liked I remembered coming across two very unusual benches in the park that I frequently walk through. These two benches are part a memorial garden for the former patients of the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital that closed its doors in the late 1970s. They look more like sculptures but you can sit on them.

WPC: Transition

Posted on November 29, 2015 by Mama Cormier

….this week’s weekly photo challenge is transition

For weeks now nature has been transitioning from fall into winter.

And sailors have said good-bye to the warm weather and transitioned their vessels to drier ground.

Compose Yourself Adjustments

Posted on November 24, 2015 by Mama Cormier

….yesterday I posted photos of Vertical Lines with adjustments to some of the photos

One of the things that I have difficulty with is removing details from a photo without leaving a blur. Cee commented that she couldn’t see the adjustment so I decided to print the before and the after photos. The other thing I don’t know how to do is add photos to the comment boxes.

As you can see I cropped the bottom and the right hand side, enhanced the colour, added more contrast and I took away the yellow sign on the blue lamp post. Can you see the blur now?

Cee’s Compose Yourself Photo Challenge – Vertical Lines

Posted on November 22, 2015 by Mama Cormier

…thanks to Cee for this week’s challenge

I did a lot of adjusting to this week’s photos, mostly cropping because I have no idea how to take out details without leaving a blurry mark. Can you tell in which photo I tried to remove one piece of detail?
