A journal of sorts.

I am an avid photographer with a love for digital processing. The Bearded One and I have become "Townies" once again and are in the process of transforming our suburban nest into a peaceful refuge.
This blog is where I like to stash things. An assortment of random thoughts, a recipe or two, a few of my favorite photos, and the processing thereof.

Work Search Wednesday

The weather out the Cottage window this morning

 

This post is much earlier than usual. I will be galavanting about today and so needed to "get 'er done"

Cottage Life

Today is work search Wednesday. This is when I fulfill  my temporary unemployment obligation. Having to revamp my resume has been somewhat of a pain. The older I get, the more dates, beginning and ending I have to try and remember. I have a job. It's a good one. I've not been "resume building" looking to better my situation, so these facts and figures are not readily available. I will fill out the applications as best as I can relying on best-guess estimate.

The job opportunities availing themselves to me this morning. Within a forty mile radius...

Naughty chocolatier, or I should say a maker of naughty chocolates, on Haristine Island. 9.00-12.00 per hour Monday- Friday.To be honest, I don't really think casting naughty bits into chocolate treats is a good fit for me.

Before and After

This leaf on the cabin chimney caught my eye as I was looking for a daily weather shot this morning. Straight out of camera was okay. The ornate chimney cap was on the "rule of thirds" line, but my interest was in the leaf.

Before

The cabin chimney cap

Next I thought I would do a black and white with just the leaf color coming through...

Phase two

This was a step in the right direction but focal point was now dead center of the photo. Unfortunately, not the best design composition.

After

The Composition after

So here I've sacrificed some of the chimney cap detail to focus on the leaf. It's all a matter of personal preference really. I will get a good Chimney Cap shot when the leaf blows away. lol

  1. Phew, glad to hear you're not seriously considering the choclatier job. I'd hate to think we were in competition for the same position! ;-)
