Digital Darkroom Fun……..
When I started working with Jim (Begley) I really started to get into using filters to alter straight shots. My trip to Dave Jones Truck Rescue in Sprague, Washington, i got some great candidates for applying filers! Jim does absolutely beautiful HDR images that take a lot of precise work with layers and layer masks, not me, I’m a one click kinda guy! All of these images are simple NIK or Topaz filters!
Topaz Simplify applied to above image.
More images altered with Topaz Simplify painting effects.
Topaz Adjust Spicify applied below;
Tomorrow I will be in Kingsport shooting some more wonderful Americana at Memory Lane, and hopefully finding a new location for great Americana photography!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Blessings,
the pilgrim

I like the painting effects. That is kind of cool with those bold colors.
Me too Joshua!
Fun! Love the post processing. Looking forward to hearing what you find in and around Kingsport. I hope to process some of my Oregon photos this weekend. What a “cool” memory to dwell on in the Texas heat. Miss you and Jack and the group.
It was great to have you and Susan with us!
It’s a little bit out of the way from Kingsport, but Ridgewood BBQ in Bluff City is the best ever!
How far out of the way???!!!
Bill,
I live just outside Kingsport, but I am not familiar with the area you will be shooting. Have you been there before? BTW depending on where you are in Kingsport it should take 30-40min to get to Bluff City.

Thanks man, I’ll ask my sponsoring guys if they now where it is!!!!
Ridgewood BBQ is on the opposite side of Kingsport from where we will be shooting and the classroom. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/MeadowView+Conference+Resort+%26+Convention+Center,+1901+Meadowview+Pkwy,+Kingsport,+TN+37660/Ridgewood+Barbecue,+900+Elizabethton+Hwy,+TN+37618/@36.4189475,-82.3826623,12z/data=!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x885af2d5d49a4401:0x793ebc2a12558841!2m2!1d-82.567272!2d36.508301!1m5!1m1!1s0x885a81709b224a03:0x65405ea0117a10bb!2m2!1d-82.26568!2d36.43394 It takes about 30 minutes from the hotel. I’ve not been there in 20 or more years but at one time it was world famous after a Southern Living article.
Looking forward to seeing you Saturday. You’re going to LOVE Memory Lane.
Can’t wait!! I’m in a little under the weather but will get well over night! Really excited to be with you guys and your friends!!! Where near the hotel will we meet in the morning? I have my car valet parked
I’ll get it around 8:00 go to the meeting location!
