RichardM and Bridget took me in their Jeep to the San Antonio airport this morning so I could catch at flight back to the overcrowded cesspool that is the Metro Denver area.
I'll be here a few days to take care of some stuff with the VA, some legal paperwork to be signed for family matters and to prepare to take the 2014 Honda CR-V (now aka Harriet) south along with Martha.

Snow Day! It snowed, sometimes heavily, most of the day, tapering off by mid-afternoon. Heavy, wet snow which made the snow blower work harder.
Still, I got Scarlett out for a short ride for snow-clad trees pictures. I also wanted to "try out" the Magic Eraser function of magicstudio.com and object remover tool from picwish.com. I must say, they work pretty damn good!
A rather mono-chromatic kind of day eh. Not too cold, things were melting nicely as I returned home, making things slushy on the roads. It should prove quite icy tonight when things freeze up!

So now we can't believe any of the pictures on your blog. Once you start deleting things, you'll start adding things back. Then you really don't need to keep the Ural for snowy rides. Just add a Ural or two into the picture!
Oh, it's not only me RichardM....I know you're joking re my pics but basically you cannot trust anything you see online. Reality is manipulated to fit someone's agenda.
I've been deleting unwanted objects from my pics for years now. The AI tools I mentioned in the post just make it really easy.
I sure hope your experiences with the VA is much better than when I had to help my dad years ago. I love the photos the snow looks great. You guys be careful driving south..
Photographers claim that editing OUT is permissible, but editing IN new stuff is not kosher.
To nitpick that statement, by editing out wasn't something added to fill in the void?
In the end, every photo you take is your vision, make it the way you saw it in your mind at that moment that day.
So if you want to edit the cesspool out of your images, go for it. LOL
Fingers crossed, Oz, so far my experiences with the VA have been very good
Thanks for the comments.
CCjon, I had not heard that before... That photographers say it's okay to edit out stuff but not to edit in stuff. I agree! Thanks for the comments and feedback.
Yep, these auto erase tools are scary in how easy they are becoming to use. I took a few liberties with some photos from Tuk to remove power lines. :)
Yep, BlazeOurWay...Lori, scary indeed ... but more troubling, the fact that most people just take digital imagery at face value.
Wait a minute, it's all fake? All the time I thought you were travelling and now I learn that it might be the doing of an AI?
But Dom, what a stark contrast between your lovely header pic (is it even real?) and the monochrome pics from snowy Colorado. Fake or not I am loving it.
Cheers, SonjaM
SonjaM, the header is real....post-processed but real. Like CCjon said, I am one of those that edits out....not edits in. There's only been two instances, that come to mind at this point, where I edited in objects and such edits were labeled accordingly as Photoshop products.
So yes, warts and all....it's mostly all real. ;)
