Monday Morning Tips – 06/20/10
Went to the Bernardo Winery in Rancho Bernardo for my annual “wassup” look-see. There’s always things that I never saw before and this time was no exception. While waiting in the parking lot for the people who had RSVPed for this Meetup, I noticed a row of old tractors and machinery that I had not seen previously. It’s possible they were always there but I had never hung around in the parking lot so it’s also possible I just missed them. Here are some of my favorites from the day.
All have been slightly tweaked using Topaz Labs Adjust 4. That is quickly becoming my favorite plug-in. It allows me to quickly enhance my photos and still retain my vision of what I captured. My readers qualify for a 15% discount off Topaz plug-ins by simply entering “digitalphotoguy” into the order form. (I have no financial interest in Topaz Labs)
Recount at the San Diego Fair
I was at the fair today and saw my entries. One had a ribbon on it but I was never informed. The docents told me it was a sponsor award meaning a sponsor of the Photography Competition had awarded a prize to that entry. I have to wait until the fair closes to find out what it won and what it means. Strange way to award prizes.

Glad you like these. As I get older, I find that I relate better to old, rusty, ancient things.
BTW, another student just told me she had 9 photos accepted at the fair and won 3 Honorable Mentions. Just shows to go ya that I’m a better teacher than photographer.
