While working the second day of the rummage and art sale at our house, I decided to have a little stencil alphabet fun. Because a day (or two!) of standing around trying to sell your used junk can be very tiring! I took a ton of shots of many things, but like in most cases, simple is better. For this one, all I did was center the template on piece of brown craft paper and shoot it. The wonderful rainbow of dried paint is courtesy of my son and wife. Day 331 of my 365 photo a day project.

Long exposures of large fierce waves can produce a surprisingly ethereal and calm image. The waves you don't see in this image were around 4-6 feet tall. Quite tall for Lake Michigan, but what you'd expect after a thunderstorm. And since this is yet another horizon shot for me, I wanted to do something different with the composition. To emphasize the vastness of the lake, I placed the original photograph on a larger plain white background. It makes the scene feel somewhat intimate, yet the negative space implies there is a lot more to see. The image had an overall feeling of a charcoal or pencil drawing due to the long exposure. So using Topaz Impression, I also added a small amount of a sketch effect to the edges to blend the photograph into the white background. Day 330 of my 365 photo a day project.

Monkey See, Monkey Do. Monkey makes the face daddy taught him too. Over and over and over. Sigh. That's my boy! Day 329 of my 365 photo a day project. Copyright 2016 Scott Norris Photography scottnorrisphotography.com
