Day 87 – Cool Rocks on the Beach

Cool Rocks on the Beach-Santa Barbara

Decided to spend a few days in Santa Barbara for Spring Break. Loved the way these rocks looked after years of wear and tear by the salty surf!

 

 

Trying Something new with my daily photos.

I’m making a change in the way I post my daily photos to my blog. Sadly, after I post my daily images to my gallery at Sandquistphotography.com and Google+, I get lazy and don’t get them posted here. I then get behind and feel bad about that which causes anxiety. So I’m going to try something new. I’m going to make single posts of my photos 2 times a week of 3-4 images each post. I think this will allow me to keep posting and then once in awhile post about something else as well. This post will contain all the images to catch up!

New Backdrop! We have a new Backdrop

Just installed a new backdrop on the upper level of the Sandquist Railway. This was a tricky photo to capture. The benchwork is roughly 325″ long there. So I created a panoramic image of the local mountains that do a pretty good job replicating the are we are modeling for the Roundhouse and Turntable area. Here are some photos of the backdrop installed.

Here is the Panorama stitched together and then printed

Backdrop installed

I think this looks cool! Here’s another:

Another view.

Thanks to Sherry and FastSigns Las Vegas for figuring out how to print this massive backdrop! It’s 325″ long by 42″ wide.

 

 

Daffodil Subdued Day 73

Really enjoyed photographing the Daffodils, I also enjoyed playing around with Split Tones… Not often do you see Daffodils that aren’t yellow.
