get link Though we are still firmly entrenched in summer, and have the record heat waves across the country to prove it, signs of change are easy to find. This prairie, only a few weeks ago awash with myriad colors of flowers, is now gradually turning flowers to seeds. The muted colors of autumn slowly replace the brights and bolds of summer. Hot, still days turn warm and breezy.

Tall Grass Prairie

https://thesentinelgroup.com/round-up-lawsuit/ This isn’t the time of the year to be walking through a tall grass prairie. It is as dense as a thicket in a forest. Many of the prairie flowers bloom in July and August, some are already setting to seed. The Compass Plant, Indian Plantain, False Indigo, Orange Milkweed, Black Eyed Susans and Purple Coneflowers are some of the plants that will grow tall enough to make a hike through this area difficult. There are also four main grasses which grow in thick clumps — Little Bluestem, Big Bluestem, Indiangrass, and Switchgrass. It is not unusual to have many plants swaying three to six feet above your head.

Wild Columbine

https://www.grupoursa.com/trayectoria/ Skirting the rocks at the forest edge
With a running flame from ledge to ledge,
Or swaying deeper in shadowy glooms,
A smoldering fire in her dusky blooms;
Bronzed and molded by wind and sun,
Maddening, gladdening every one
With a gypsy beauty full and fine —
Health to the crimson columbine!

Wild Roses at Art in the Glen

Three Wild Roses

follow url I’m fond of the wild roses that grow in the garden. I prefer them to the tea roses, not that those roses aren’t beautiful, only that they require much maintenance this far north to keep them healthy. After planting the hybrids two years in a row and losing a total of six out of six plants, I returned to the old garden standard.

After a two weekend break for graduation parties, bridal and bridesmaids dress shopping, and visiting with my dear sister-in-law from California – successful and enjoyable on all counts – I take my “Garden in a Gallery” out on the road again. Seeded Earth Photography and I will be at Art at the Glen in Glenview, Illinois – Sherpa’s hometown – on Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM.

I’m at Booth #81, near the historic airport tower, and I hope to see lots of friends and relatives from Glenview and the Chicago area at the art fair.

I am presenting an art chat in my booth on Saturday at 1:00 PM. If you want to learn more about photography and my personal philosophy, and add your own ideas, come visit Seeded Earth Studio’s booth at 1:00 PM on Saturday. All are welcome.

Dancing with Poppies

Poppy - Bi-color Filter

Poppy - Bi-color Filter © 2011 Bo Mackison

As promised in my last post, here is another version of my abstract photograph of a poppy using Nik Color Efex Pro™ 3.0 software. In this photograph I used the Bi-color Filter which gives the photograph a combination of pink and purple highlights. After I added the filter, I worked with the many adjustments until it was to my liking.

I learned from my Nik experience that one should “never say never.” For the last few years, I chose not to do much post processing to my photographs. I  think it was a good decision as I needed to learn the basics first, and using post processing software takes control out of a novice’s hands and gives it to the computer and the software. Before I was comfortable using software such as Photoshop or Nik, I needed to know what I could do without using photo recipes and quick pre-sets.

I now have a better understanding of what I can do with a photograph using a program like Adobe Lightroom which is more of an organizational and basic processing program. I also have an understanding of what I want a photograph to convey to my audience. My intention has always been to not over-process a photo so it had that over-saturated Photoshop look. (Though occasionally in my experimenting I have a photo that is heavily processed that I do like – never say never!) But now I am in a better place to add software processing to my repertoire.

Waiting had some decided advantages. Not only did I learn how to do many things step by step instead of in a pre-set. I also gave myself enough time to get comfortable with the camera, the computer, and Lightroom without adding more pressure to learn another complicated program. I’m happy I waited. And I am happy with my new results.
