Pilings at Picnic Point
January 20, 2013
That now-famous foggy day
I've scads of pictures of these pilings in my gallery, and millions more in my files. It was fun to look at them on their own, isolated in the fog, and see what Topaz could do. After looking at several different filters, I chose Topaz "Expressionism." I liked the way it gave interest and texture to a colorless world.

love this effect - it does add life to the scene

I love the surreal and ethereal feel of this scene. It speaks to things gone by and now mostly forgotten.

Very nice, Tara! You've turned them into something monumental. Perhaps something left by the Druids?

Another of your pics that must be seen full size: Full size, this place is crawling with digital energies and visceral worms and teeming waves of topaz-dom. It's a bleak landscape---with that open horizon and just the sky. It could be the apocalypse. Yet your topaz texturing gives it a life that's even more spooky because it's the only life for miles around. Kind of like when you find a secluded spot in nature, and it's just filled with weird life forms, but no one else sees it. This is desolate but so rich and strange: Full size, it's downright otherworldly!
I found some of your shots from this time, in your gallery. I just kept going back until I found Jan of that year. But thank you for sending me pics, it makes it a lot easier! (And I love what you sent. I'll get back to you.) It's wonderful that you're reworking them anew. I'm a big fan of reworking old work. Did someone compare this to stonehenge? It sure feels like a wooden version of it...(remember Eddie Izzard, "What's a henge???")

Perfect choice, a very interesting effect. This is one of my three 'favourite' filters in Topaz.

Impressive looking image!

This changes so much going from thumbnail to initial view to full size view. I like the painting-like image that you created with a filter (like Andrea's post of her pond today, I'd describe it as vibrantly Van Gogh-ish), but I have to admit that I was looking forward to a more traditional photographic image from the thumbnail (which my fuzzy vision misinterpreted)...

A great capture with a lovely digi finish that gives them a different look and feel. Excellent work and I love the solitude they portray.

Great picture Tara. I loved days on the beach in winter or during foggy days. We used to hang around around the Mukilteo Ferry (just south of the landing) and when back east I kept going to the beach way past the end of the season to catch foggy days with seagulls cawing and the fog horn blasting, and the whole beach being empty! This picture reminds me of that. BTW great post work.

very nice oil-painting effect!
