I must confess that this is one of my adaptations of one of Greg's pics. He and I frequently exchange photos, so I grabbed one of his off his site, doctored it a little, and sent it back to him. He must'a liked it....... Al

Here's a derelict Canadian Coast Guard boat at Battle Island, Lake Superior. It was first "Quick Fixed", then the "Find Edges/Color Sketch" technique applied, and then Knotty C's "Cutout Filter". Finally the washed out sky was selected and replaced with a pastel cyan fill.

Don, your rendition of the fish tug is particularly stunning. What effects did you apply to achieve it? Al

I see it as a classic case of the left foot not knowing what the right foot is doing. Al

One perhaps unfortunate aspect of Photoshop, at least the version I have, Pat, is that it will keep track of all of the changes you make to a photo up until the time you close that file, and then all of your history is lost. Having said that, the Battle Island Light photo above is made up of...

Here's the rather uninspiring original of the Battle Island Light: And here it is with a foreshoreline, a brooding sky, and a hint of light beam from the lighthouse added. Then it was turned to B&W, toned slightly sepia, and a little film grain added:

Here's one from our pre- C-Dory days on Lake Superior:

Look at it this way, at least you didn't have to waste time applying the Gaussian Blur Filter. LOL Seriously, this is one fine rendition of your pal. I would be proud to own a dog like that and to have captured such a fine photo of him. Well done on all accounts. Al

No, I've just printed them on our home printer. We thought about having a large Giclee print made of one of our favorite Lake Superior pics , but it turned out the file size was too small. This summer I want to try shooting in RAW format which captures everything and doesn't throw anything...

You folks have done some nice work; I'm glad you're having fun. Pat, your color sketch of Daydream is very nice indeed. Here's another one I just completed using the same technique. It's at the Prince Arthur Landing Marina in Thunder Bay, ON. There are no C-Dories involved, but if you like...

Thanks. I found a tutorial here: http://www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials/ ... sketch.htm Al

I've been playing around with Photoshop (Elements 5) for a couple years and am having a blast. There is so much to learn, but the process is fun and there is a lot of help available on the internet. Here's a photo of the MOOSE at Rossport on Lake Superior made to look like a color sketch...

Man, I'd take fish effluvia anyday over the bug I've been fighting for the last 1-1/2 months! LOL Al

Here's a picture of our set-up: I ordered the two roof-rail style bars from the same place in BC that makes the rest of the C-Dory rails, Bolton Stainless if memory serves. The cleaning table I made out of Starboard and it simply snaps onto the rails. It can also be popped off and slipped...

Nick, this is no doubt God punishing you for enjoying +70F last week while we woke up to -22F. LOL Enjoy your enforced confinement. All the best, Al

Based on my experience, I think you are going to have real trouble trying to propel a CD22 with a 2HP. Al

Sunrise over the Sleeping Giant, Lake Superior:

We use the Model 800 Original Ecofan, the two-bladed model. The built-in fan on the Wallas is far more efficient at moving air, but it is noisy. When anchored overnight or for any longer period of time we use the Ecofan. It is dead quiet; all you hear is the pulse of the Wallas fuel pump. We...

Ok, here's a picture of the buss bars and fuse blocks I installed in the starboard lazarette. It made some order out of the chaos of too many leads directly from the battery. I don't like in-line fuses; these are all in one spot. I made a diagram so that I can easily tell which fuse is for...

Yeah, this is why I have a face plate on the electronics shelf, to hide 25' of satellite radio cable, 25' of GPS cable, 25' of radar cable, and 25' of VHF cable! LOL Al
