Different Perspective

I went to Central Park yesterday and took some photos in the Ramble near the feeders. It was below freezing. Even so, some birds were singing as if it was Spring. I took the images little into Photoshop to make them into something different.

Ice and Winter Light

The weekend was freezing. We bundled up and went to the park to take a few photos. The ice and winter light was lovely.

Frozen Hudson

Just a narrow channel clear for shipping left in the Hudson River, Lower Manhattan. This much ice is a novelty for me.

I created this last winter from an older image of a Cardinal photographed in the Park. The watercolor was brushed in using a Wacom Tablet and Corel Painter. Part of the photo of the bird, especially the eyes, is unaltered.

Created in Photoshop and Corel Painter 11/24/2013. NIKON D7000, f-stop 115.6, exposure time 1/800 sec., ISO 720, exposure bias 1.3 steps, focal length 600mm, and max aperture 6.5.
