Camera experiments -

Experimenting with a few settings on my point and shoot camera on Wed.  Looks like I need to play around with these settings a lot more.  I was happier with the black and white than the Sepia.  Even the black and white didn't turn out as well as I had hoped.  I'll keep trying . . .

Painting at the Beach

Painted at the beach with a few artists from the Danvers Art Association. This was on Wednesday, the day of those terrible tornado touch downs in Springfield, MA.  It was hot and humid all day.  For us, the day started out with thunder and rain, but turned to a gray, humid and very windy afternoon. 


At the beach house I walked around experimenting with my camera.  I discovered a setting called “vivid” on my camera.  It works pretty well on a gray days. Might be too colorful on a sunny day.  I also tried the sepia setting and the black and white settings with disappointing results…I’ll have to do some more experimenting.

Here are a few of my photos from the day -

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I ended up painting inside because of the wind.

Favorite Beach

On a clear evening you can see Boston from the beach.

I'm BACK!!! New post...

I've been away from blogging for too long.
First, it was a home renovation which took my attention away - Painting walls, etc.
Then it was the holidays - work and other stuff...

But, now I'm back in full swing.

I'm always looking for sea glass, shells and other interesting items for my jewelry and art work. Recently, I explored several beaches. Here are some of the photos I've taken:

Singing Beach, Gloucester MA

Singing Beach is lovely, but it was sooooo clean - no rocks, shells or sea glass.
