San Francisco’s Dutch Windmill…
Tucked away in a garden near the Pacific Ocean is a beautiful windmill surrounded by tulips and poppies. How a lush green garden can grow right next to the ocean is beyond me. I photographed this scene in both color and infrared. I like the infrared black and white version for something a little different. I used Nik Silver for conversion to black and white. The edge treatment is one of my favorites. It’s from OnOne PhotoFrame, and I like the finishing touch it provides for the image.
Interested in infrared? Please join me for Digital Infrared Photography online at BetterPhoto.com. Classes start next Wednesday! I hope to see you there! ~ Deb
Hi Deb,
I love the POV and lighting as well as the processing & framing you used.
In my years of buzzing up & down the PCH, I never knew of this windmill and probably drove by it a few times 🙂
BTW – my Sigma 8mm will hopefully arrive tomorrow.
Are you out here on the left coast ? If so, are you headed north toward Seattle way ?
Love in Light, Carlton
Hi Carlton – Thank you! This windmill is practically hidden in Golden Gate Park, right near the Pacific. Congrats on your new lens, hope it arrives today! You’ll love it! Just got back to FL but will try to get back to the west coast soon. I’d hope to get to Seattle one day too!
Best, Deb
