kannafoot > January 21, 2009Quaint New EnglandThis beautiful old church was built in 1879, but is the third structure that serviced the Baptist community on this site. The parish was first gathered in 1794. What makes it most interesting is that the church has actually been in three different cities in two different states! When it was first built, this green was in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. In the mid-1800s, the section was restructured and the green became part of Seekonk, Massachusetts. Then in 1862, the state line was moved and the church became part of East Providence, Rhode Island.First Baptist Church of East ProvidenceEast Providence, Rhode Island
kannafoot > February 4, 2009A Touch of MagentaThis is an interesting shot of Bullocks Cove in East Providence. I opted to dramatically adjust the white balance and color temperature to deepen the sky and water colors. A post-processing magenta photo filter completed the effect. While it looks like an early morning shot, this was actually taken at noon with the sun directly in front of me. (I shot it from inside the car to use my roof as a sun shade.) Expect to see more shots as we get into the warm weather. There is a beautiful mariner along the coast on the left that makes for spectacular silhouettes when the sailboats are taken out of dry dock.Bullocks CoveEast Providence, Rhode Island
kannafoot > January 28, 2009Shed or Box?This rustic looking structure sits behind the Church of Christ along Wampanoag Trail. It's a nice enough structure in its own right, but I've yet to figure out its purpose. You see, I'm one of those old fashioned folks that believe a shed should have at least one door... I did walk completely around this one and can attest that the other two sides are identical to these two! Based on that, I can only conclude that this is a box, not a shed.East Providence, Rhode Island
kannafoot > May 3, 2009Tree BlossomI spotted this tree in full bloom while out looking for my PAD shot and decided to take advantage of this very brief period where our trees are in bloom. I took this shot without the use of a macro, instead relying on the compression from my zoom lens to produce the blurred background. Given the size of the flower cluster, I liked this approach better than the macro approach.Rhode Island CollegeProvidence, Rhode Island
kannafoot > March 29, 2009Purple RainToday's weather was absolutely miserable. The rain was pretty steady, and the sky was as bland as it can be. For today's photo, I took a drive through the North Burial Ground hoping for opportunities. There was a fresh grave covered with flowers, so a macro shot became the order of the day.North Burial GroundProvidence, Rhode Island
kannafoot > January 11, 2009Holy IglooWe ended up with about four inches of new snow overnight, so I thought it would be a good time to photograph this igloo shaped church. There was still a light snow falling and the sky had some nice dark clouds, contrasting with the snow on the church dome. All processing was done in Photoshop Elements v7.0.Cranston, Rhode Island
kannafoot > February 27, 2009BarredThere are a series of small very early 20th century storefronts in the Smith Hill section of Providence. This one is on Douglas Avenue. It has an old world color and texture to it. The bars on the window coupled with the red honor box in front contrast nicely with the bright yellow storefront. I opted to shoot this as a closeup on just those highlights. Maybe later this year I'll return and shoot the entire storefront. Smith HillProvidence, Rhode Island
kannafoot > February 12, 2009Octagonal HouseThere are a number of octagonal houses in Rhode Island, a style popularized in 1849 by Orson Squire Fowler. The house depicted here was originally the bandstand at the Boyden Heights Amusement Park. The bandstand was built in 1900. The park closed in 1910, and in 1916 the bandstand was converted to a house. It's still in use today.East Providence, Rhode Island
kannafoot > January 05, 2009Dismal DocksOne thing about Rhode Island is we have the grayest skies for almost the entire winter. Come to think of it, they're pretty gray all summer, too. The color version of this photo was unbelievably flat and dismal looking, so I opted to turn it into a black and white image. I pulled a good deal of the contrast out in FDRTools before bringing it back into Elements for final editing. Rather than just leaving it as a dull greyscale, though, I opted to add a 25% cyan filter just to enhance the final contrast and give it a bit of a cold touch. I'm not 100% satisfied with the image, but I do like the B&W effect better than the color version.John L. Lewis Waterfront ParkEast Providence, Rhode Island
