Pelotonia 2019 photos...and still counting

Pelotonia 2019 is long over and I am still slowly going through the 900+ photos I took. I have been uploading some of the photos to my SmugMug site.

Here is a few recent shots I finally got around to processing.

Photo Art: Pelotonia

Once again, a little combination of photography and art using a photo I took from this year's Pelotonia 2019. First, taking a photo into Corel Painter 2020 and using the auto painting feature and using a impressionist style brush. Then, taking what was created and opening into Affinity Photo. There I blend the art and the photo together and added a texture to complete the work.

Pelotonia 2019!

Pelotonia 2019 was this past weekend in central Ohio and I got out and shot several hundreds of photos during the weekend event on Saturday. Check out my Pelotonia 2019 gallery on SmugMug! As I slowly make through all the shots, I will be adding more to the gallery.

Before and After: Head Down

Here is a before and after from a shot I took last year during the Pelotonia event held in central Ohio. All post processing was done using only Adobe Lightroom CC. Since then, I have switch to ON1 Photo Raw for processing my photos.

Pelotonia 2018

One of the events I attended in 2018 was Pelotonia 2018 here in central Ohio back in August. Pelotonia, a fund raising for cancer reach, is a three day biking event in central Ohio and the bike riders route is through Knox County (Ohio) and ends in Gambier, Ohio on the beautiful campus of Kenyon College.  The countryside in Knox County is great for a beautiful bike rider and has two bike trails, Kokosing Gap Trail and Heart of Ohio Trail. The bike riders from the Pelotonia event ride on the Kokosing Gap Trail section outside of Gambier. One of the perfect places I found to take pictures of the riders is on the old railroad bridge which crosses over the Kokosing River. It is a absolutely beautiful spot in which to use my Canon EF 70-300mm 1.4 lens with the Canon 5D Mark III. Btw, the event is a great time to practice photographing moving subjects, something I admit I just don't get to often. As for photo editing, I use Adobe Lightroom CC and a few times used ON1 Photo Raw. For now, Lightroom is my main go to software for going through hundreds of photos.

For those who wish to see more of the photos I shot during the event, you can check out the Pelotonia 2018 gallery on my SmugMug page. I hope you will enjoy the photos from the event!
