Abbey of the Genesee

This past week we did a road trip to the Abbey of the Genesee, location of a Trappist monastery, and also the place where Monk's Bread is made. You can find out all about them at www.geneseeabbey.org. I took some pictures of the grounds and the outside of the chapel. Cameras were not allowed inside, but it was very rustic and peaceful. Of course, I couldn't resist messing around with the pictures in Photoscape. The weather might be gloomy, but grey skies work great with the water brush filter and some backlighting.

Photoscape Building Experiment

Winter in Photoscape

Here are some winter pictures I took at the beginning of December that I played around with in photoscape. Filters include noise, water brush, water color pencil, pencil, impressionistic, antique, and vignette. I included the original pictures for comparison.

More Fun With Photoscape

These were done in Photoscape using the pictorialization filter and then choosing either impressionistic, colored pencil or water pencil. I then played around with bloom, backlight, sharpen and contrast. I included the originals for comparison. As you can see, even a blurry picture has potential! Pretty cool for software that is a free download.
