My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
Â
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
Â
In March, 2013, we sold our home in Washington and went on the road in our RV full time. What a blast! There is so much world out there to see!
After traveling around the West for a few years, we got rid of the motorhome and are now spending winters in deep-south Texas and summers in Washington State. Spring and fall finds us visiting whichever place strikes our fancy at the time!
Â
If I’m missing from Renderosity from time to time, I’m busy having fun elsewhere.
Thanks for your interest in my work, and for stopping by to learn more about me!Â

Cool! Did you fiddle with the sky or is it that blue?
auntietk
I've been known to fiddle with things like that, but in this case it really WAS that blue! I cropped the picture, but did very little else to it.

Nice POV.

I like the way you've created a very simple composition composed of basic geometric shapes. No distractions or filler material here, just pure form under natural light. Well done...

Cool capture, some of the old southwest architecture is cool.

Superb POV. It really communicates the power and permanence of the church. We have a Capistrano in California only ours had swallows.

Superb capture Tara. God bless.

Your ability to see and capture light and shadowplay is phenomenal, Tara! This is gorgeous, my dear friend!

Well done, for a classical view !

Mow there is a blue sky, though, oddly not the best for airshows lol Super shot Tara, nice POV. Rob

Tara, I'm past an hour and unfortunately I still have a bug, and I want to comment on some of Bill's too...so forgive me if I don't do every image I've not commented on, today. I'm very slow at this under the best circumstances; so I'm even slower under less-than-best. I'll make this the last for today, and come back for more soon...The two shots you made of this are wonderfully silhouetted, and really convey different worlds. To me they both capture the architecture and spiritual presence of the place---but I do see how one is geared more to one than the other. I see that clearly. There's a lot of textural variation in this---one has to zoom and really look at it, but it's all there. Looks like smudges and dust, etc. And it's so gentle in this rendering, as if it just needs a wet cloth to clean it. The shade and the contrasting bleached light really emphasize structure, here; and your angle allows us to see several sides at once (which a frontal shot wouldn't allow). And you show just bits of the bells---suggestions of them, knowing they're back there bathing in that intense (hidden) light, but largely invisible. The mystery of the partially seen---something you've mastered for a while now. Contrast and mystery, and hard-etched forms (made so visible by that side-light), and all set off by that deep blue sky. Beautiful, as is the next one (which I"ll comment on next time). More beautiful and very thoughtful architectural work, Tara.
