INSPIRATION

Inspirations of the day - World Hall of Fame & Okanagan Hall of Fame:
I am mostly inspired by our Great Okanagan Outdoors. Below are some more inspirations.
Here I want to put a spotlight on outstanding Photographers and outstanding Photography.

Douglas Morgan will be the first in the Okanagan Hall of Fame.

He created outstanding Panoramas of the Okanagan Valley, of other parts of BC,

and most recently a Panorama of New York, you can see more on his website:

Mentioning New York, my favorite Photographer from NY is Andy Williams, his website:

So, let's add a 'World' Hall of Fame to the Okanagan Hall od Fame...

...and Andy Williams will be the first in it. The photo below is taken a little while later just after sunset

Light is one of the most important parameters in photography, like Andy's late September picture demonstrates.

We are lucky here in the Okanagan, as we experience the wonderful surroundings with ever changing light. Check the pictures of the bridge during different light situations, see 'Changing Light' in the Gallery and 'Anatomy of a Rainbow' on [url=http://www.alphalenses.com/]http://www.alphalenses.com !

Looking for inspiring photographers in the Okanagan, I came across Dr.Andrew Farquhar, you will find amazing photos of the world and our beautiful Okanagan on his website http://www.afarfotos.com/ :

The photo above: Winter Sunrise, puts Dr. Andrew Farquhar right into the Okanagan Hall of Fame!

My favorite Animal Portraitist is Steve Bloom, his website under 'links', I will post it here, whenever time..

If you like the Brush Stroke Feature in Corel Paintshop Pro X2, you might want to study the work of French Impressionists, like
Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and Frédéric Bazille, Camille Pissarro, Paul Cézanne, Armand Guillaumi, Degas.
With little training, you can achieve similar effects and create your very personal own "art".
