Photography For August [PHOTOS]

Hard to believe we are entering August ... this Summer has flown by! This month I'm featuring some beach sunrise shots from Seaside Park, like above, also some photos I then did some "editing" with to transfer them into "oil pantings" not everyone likes fooling with photos but I do at times. Some cool bird shots and architecture from Washington DC. enjoy ....

I love photography as a hobby and I enjoy sharing my photos, many  from right here at the Jersey Shore. I hope you enjoy taking some time to relax as I share my visions with you ~ Shawn Michaels

I love this last shot with the fisherman on the beach trying to catch a sunrise supper .....

Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.

Do you think this is a "purple martin"  ?

I don't like their baseball team, but they sure are a nice looking bird!

These two photos were taken at one of the Metro Train Stations in Washington DC ... I liked the "architecture" of these ceilings, lighting was different in both photos....

The four photos above are from a trip to New York City .... I played with color and black and white ... I love the combination as I can accent the subject with color.

Sir Noël Peirce Coward was an English playwright, composer, director, actor and singer, known for his wit, flamboyance, and what Time magazine called "a sense of personal style, a combination of cheek and chic, pose and poise".

The three photos above were photos that I used an editing tool on to make oil paintings ... I think they turned out very cool! Art, Landscape and Action ...

This last photo was taken by my Daughter "Erin" .... it the perfect bowl of chocolate ice cream on a hot summer day !
