B and H Optic All Stars

These are the ones I picked to submit for 6 topics to submit for the Optic Challenge. I don’t expect to win. I enjoy seeing what other people photograph. the event is freed and a lot of fun. There are lectures and prizes. You can sign up for the Optic All Stars online event by clicking here. Check it out – you might enjoy it. I always do. In June I won $100 to spend at B&H answering a quiz at the online social during Optic 2020.

While searching for some images for the contest for the B&H Optic All Stars event this month came across these and updated the processing.

New Paltz Doors

The Huguenot settlement in New Paltz was founded in 1677 on land purchased from the Munsee. Here’s a bit of native American history in the region.

For Norm’s Thursday Doors.

New Paltz

After viewing a house in Kerhonkson, NY we drove to New Paltz. There is a 10-acre National Historic Landmark District in New Paltz, Ulster County, with over 300 years of history. More about that will be in my post on Thursday. At the bottom is a painting of what it looked like in 1685.

Catskills NY

Found a lovely house in Kerhonkson but it was too far from medical and shopping plus there was no cell phone coverage there. Sigh. We’ll keep looking. Pictures taken during the trip.

Delaware Skies

I took landscape photographs during a trip to look at a house on October 22, 2020 in Delaware County, New York. This gave me the perfect opportunity to replace the skies in using the new Photoshop sky replacement tool. It’s a lot faster than the old way. In the last three I reflected the sky in the water to make it more realistic.

NYBG Landscapes

Some Fall colors and lovely grounds at the gardens.
