SmugMug > popular today > 19.7.08 Ruins in Bury We took a trip down to Bury St Edmunds today for a bit of house hunting, we had a strol around a local park - Abbey Gardens - which is in the ruined grounds of the old abbey. I can see these will be lots of photo oppotunities here so expect a few more dailies from here once I move down! More pics from today can be found here: http://lincolnsteve.smugmug.com/gallery/5479871_cCKXt#335063206_nztL6 I did add some pics from last weeks epic 25 mile walk, they can be found here: http://lincolnsteve.smugmug.com/gallery/5410240_k6fx3#330896482_PdEPc
SmugMug > popular today > "West Point Mascot" Today's Daily originates because today was a special anniversary for me, it was 20 years ago that I finished my obligation in the US Army. For my final duty station from 1985-88 I was assigned to the United States Military Academy at WEST POINT as a Military Police Officer as a special assignment working under LT. General Dave Palmer. Well I went back to visit today and to shoot some images but upon arrival I found out that the base is now a CLOSED facility and not open to the public at this time (due to war). I was able to access the base with my retired police credentials but I was unsure if I would be breaking any laws if I shot photos so I kept my camera in the car and only shot a few here and there of non vital security places. This is a statue of the West Point Mascot . The special thing about this image is that I just spent 3+ hours really editing it BY HAND trying to keep my skills sharp since I haven't had to do work like this in a while. It has been painstakingly hand colored, toned and shadowed (My Walcom tablet is on fire and I wore the tip off of it LOL). Anyway I thought it would be cool to bring every detail of the statue out by bringing out all the details with a TON of Dodging/burning along with taking out all the garbage behind it (power lines, houses, street etc.) along with having to deal with the massive HAZE that was in the air there today, it was awful and most of my shots you couldn't even see the subjects if they were more then 50' away. *If you look at the original first the click on this one you can see the details in the horse & rider change before your eyes and see the huge difference* Try to look at it as large as you can so you can pick up all the details, I even detailed the tail, every pant crease, horse & riders face, every muscle on his body etc. The trees were also created by hand and shaped so that it would bring out the statues features as well. Well I can't type anymore my fingers are killing me, I'll add more to this tomorrow. Oh BTW to see the huge amount of work I put into this one, I also uploaded the ORIGINAL in this gallery so you could compare the difference ! Please let me know what you think ;) Best Regards, Bill

SmugMug > popular today > Sunday 20 July 2008 - Kombi Van at Coochiemudlo Island - no it's not mine but I wish it was !!! Today we went to Coochie to watch the Flinders Day celebrations. On July 19, 1799 the famous explorer, navigator and cartographer Lt Matthew Flinders, sailing on his sloop Norfolk, was the the first European to land on Coochiemudlo Island. This Kombi Van was used to tow one of the floats in the parade - I know the owners and I think the van depicts the casual fun atmosphere of the island. http://www.coochieisland.com/wp/
