This is a digitally edited version of the photo I posted yesterday of lilies in bloom at Long Hill Gardens. When I took the picture, I was excited about the colorful blossoms, the textures in the leaves, and the composition. I liked the photo just as it came out of the camera, but still, I thought I might be able to change it a bit. I liked the informal arrangement, the lilies in various stages of blooming, and the endless complications of the leaves. But because it has been so hot here, there were lots of dry leaves, so many that I thought they were creating a distraction from the vibrancy of the flowers. So I opened the image in Painter and used a little light digital pastel so add a bit of color to the dried leaves. While I was at it, I covered up a few problems with some opaque digital pastel. I still like the original version, so I kept the changes subtle, using a light green or a yellow green where I could. I sometimes use these images for cards and greetings, and for that sort of thing, I would be more likely to use the edited version of this photo. I also created a posterized image from the edited version, which I plan to publish here tomorrow. randubnick on Flickr: Posted a Photo 
This is a photograph that I took at Long Hill Gardens last Thursday evening, after we picked up our weekly haul of vegetables. I loved these beautiful lilies. This is the original photo, which I have cropped in iPhoto. I like the basic composition, but I am wondering if I could do more with this image in Painter.

I took this photo tonight during a late walk at Obear Park, here in Beverly, MA. It was almost 8:30 when we got to the park, and the sun was setting. The light on the water was great, so I took some pictures. The view was great, but the sense of peace after a hectic day was even better! randubnick on Flickr: Posted a Photo 
Tonight we went to Obear Park, a little neighborhood park here in Beverly, MA. It was after 8 PM, so we could take the dog. The sun was already setting when we got there. The light on the water was amazing, so I started taking pictures, and kept going because the light kept changing. This is the first photo that I took tonight. When I got home, I used iPhoto to straighten, adjust the shadows, and crop to get this composition. randubnick on Flickr: Posted a Photo 
This is a photograph that I took back on July 2, during a walk at the Cummings Center Pond. Lots of lilies were blooming that day, in many different colors. Tonight I used iPhoto to do some rotating and cropping to get this composition. randubnick on Flickr: Posted a Photo 
I took this photo today during a late afternoon walk on the beach here in Beverly, MA. We went back to the same place we went a couple of days ago, a part of the beach that is hidden behind the houses on Lothrop Street. I took this picture looking down at the ocean from the little "pocket park" that you walk through to get down to the water. I liked the combination of colors, lines, and pattern, so I took a picture. Tonight I used iPhoto to do a little editing, and cropped the image to get this composition. randubnick on Flickr: Posted a Photo 
This is a photograph that I took yesterday during a walk on the beach here in Beverly, MA. Part of the shoreline runs behind the houses on Lothrop Street between Dane Street Beach and Independence Park, but the beach is open to the public and accessible through some of the little "pocket parks" on the side streets. (The signs say, "Please enjoy this public way", so we did.) We parked, walked down some stairs, and we were on the beach. The air was cooler by the water, and I instantly felt like I was on vacation! Well, this little break didn't last long, but it made me smile for the rest of the day. randubnick on Flickr: Posted a Photo 
This week, we had some really hot days, too hot to go for a walk until evening. This is from a photo that I took a couple of days ago during an evening walk at Obear Park, here in Beverly, MA. It was cooler by the water, and because it was after 8 PM, the dog could come along. (Dogs aren't allowed in beach front parks during the day.) The view was a bonus: the colors in the sky and the ripples in the water. Tonight I cropped the original photo to get this composition. randubnick on Flickr: Posted a Photo 
This image is from a photo that I took at the Cummings Center Pond last Friday afternoon (July 2). The lilies are blooming there, so I took some pictures. Tonight I cropped this image just a little, and used iPhoto to do a some basic retouching. hellanina on Flickr: Posted a Photo
