Montauk 1 of 3

Sherry Felix13 Comments

On the weekend starting on January 18, 2024 we want on a trip with the Littoral​ Society led by Don Riepe to Montauk. Long Island, New York. The weather was freezing. I arrived there with a cold which I am still recovering from. The cold (illness and temperature) dampened my enthusiasm so I didn’t take many photographs. Many of the photos in this post and the following are by my husband, Marc (signed Felix).

I loved the Montauk Manor – Montauk Hotel. Our room was full of nautical tchotchkes. I’ll spare you from the over 30 photos of them. When we arrived on Friday it was snowing a little. Our group went for a short trip to Montauk inlet by Montauk Lake.

Marc and I went to the Littoral Society’s NE Chapter annual dinner last Sunday. Before the dinner I had time to take a few shots of a fabulous sunset at the Jamaica Bay NWR.

There are lots of shops and eateries at Brooklyn Bridge Park. This is an old iron door they kept on the old warehouse facade.

Bridges at Sunset

Sherry Felix18 Comments

I have been super busy lately and it took me a long time to prepare these. The light changed as the sun set so I made a lot of pictures.

The evening at Brooklyn Bridge Park in Dumbo was very dramatic with a storm and lots of atmosphere.

I added a bolt of lightning that I saw strike the Freedom Tower to the first photograph.

Young Wet Robin

I photographed this young bird in Central Park yesterday. Many birds were taking baths in the Loch. I’ve read they don’t do bathe to cool off, but it looked like that to me—it was a hot day.

Scotney Castle Process

Sherry Felix26 Comments

My version of Old Scotney Castle by Ryan Photography for June’s Before and After Challenge.

First, I brought Ryan’s picture into Photoshop and filled in the people and a few branches at the top of the image. Next, I opened the image in OnOne Effects and added an HDR evening metal effect, which I altered to suit. I brought it back into Photoshop and imported a sky. I masked out the original sky to let the new one show through. To tone down some of the color and make it less Disney like I added a black and white filter layer and masked out some of it to let the color show through in places. For fun I imported two eagles, masked them out and placed them in the sky.

Jay’s End

Even in death the refracted blue light of the Blue Jays’ feathers is still there. I was inspired to create this by some old photographs seen at the Photography Show at Pier 94 yesterday.
