PAINTERLY PHOTOGRAPHY

chuck@chucknelsonphotography.com (Chuck Nelson Photography) — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT

WITH THE ADVENT OF PHOTOGRAPHY IT BECAME POSSIBLE TO TURN A PAINTING INTO A PHOTOGRAPH. TODAY, WITH NEW TECHNIQUES AND TECHNOLOGY, IT'S POSSIBLE TO TURN A PHOTOGRAPH INTO A PAINTING - ALMOST. FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHS CAN NOW BE MADE TO APPEAR AS FINE ART PAINTINGS AND DRAWINGS. YOU WILL FIND PAINTERLY PHOTOGRAPHS SCATTERED ABOUT IN OTHER GALLERIES BUT THIS GALLERY IS DEDICATED TO SUCH IMAGES.

You might want to run this gallery as a slideshow to enjoy the "art" of photography.

chuck@chucknelsonphotography.com (Chuck Nelson Photography) — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT

THIS GALLERY CONTAINS A VARIETY OF IMAGES OR PHOTOGRAPHIC PROJECTS I HAVE DONE FOR INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES OR FOR MY OWN ENTERTAINMENT.

If you are interested in having me design a business card, postcard or folded card for your business or family, contact me by email so we can discuss options and prices.

VINTAGE VEHICLES

chuck@chucknelsonphotography.com (Chuck Nelson Photography) — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT

OLD BUILDINGS AND VEHICLES CAPTURE OUR INTEREST BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE LOOK OF HISTORY. WHETHER IT CAPTURES SOMETHING IN MY MEMORY OR IMAGINATION, I OFTEN HAVE TO STOP AND TAKE A PICTURE WHEN I ENCOUNTER A VINTAGE BUILDING OR VEHICLE.

Many images are presented in different aspect ratios to allow you to select a size and shape you like. In this sense, images are pre-cropped so you can see what the final product will look like.

NOTE: Many people prefer METALLIC paper for these imags so my pricing structure allows you to select premium paper (metallic or true digital B&W) at NO EXTRA COST. Matboard mounting is offered at cost so your print can arrive ready for custom framing in the event you choose not to order your print with a frame.

Each Year Redwood Chapel Community Church in Castro Valley, CA hosts a car show that is free and open to everyone. The event is a way to reach out to the community in a fun way. With over well over 200 cars participating, it's well attended and appreciated by the car lovers and the general public.

If you participated in the car show and see an image of your car in this gallery and want a copy of it, contact me through this website and identify yourself and your car. You can identify your car by the sequence number but better by the four-digit image number you will see below the image when you click on it.

FORMATTED FOR GALLERY WRAP

chuck@chucknelsonphotography.com (Chuck Nelson Photography) — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT

GALLERY WRAPS ARE POPULAR IN ART GALLERIES, OFFICES AND HOMES. A GALLERY WRAP IMAGE IS PRINTED ON CANVAS, WRAPPED AROUND A 1.5 INCH STRETCHER FRAME AND ARRIVES READY TO HANG. SINCE THE IMAGE TYPICALLY WRAPS AROUND THE EDGE OF THE FRAME, GALLERY WRAPS MAKE IMPRESSIVE 3-DIMENSIONAL WALL HANGINGS.

The images in this gallery have been pre-formatted to produce wall hangings in the sizes specified at checkout.

NOTE: When you look at an image formatted for gallery wrap it sometimes appears the border area is too wide. This is because the image has been formatted to allow about two inches to wrap around the sides without detracting from the main subject. For instance, an 11x14 gallery wrap is made from an image formatted to 15x18 inches so two inches can wrap around the sides producing the 3-D effect that make gallery wraps so impressive.

To ensure you receive the printed image as you like it, be sure to check where the crop lines fall during checkout.

LAKES AND RIVERS

chuck@chucknelsonphotography.com (Chuck Nelson Photography) — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT

chuck@chucknelsonphotography.com (Chuck Nelson Photography) — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT

This gallery contains artsy or interesting images relating to fishing. Some of the photographs have been specially processed to appear as paintings.

I have all but given up fishing for photography but I grew up fishing and enjoy visiting and photographing the beautiful places where fish and fishermen are found.

MOUNT SHASTA VIEWS

chuck@chucknelsonphotography.com (Chuck Nelson Photography) — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT

This gallery contains images of Mount Shasta from various views and locations, as well as different seasons and lighting conditions. Mount Shasta dominates the Siskiyou County, California landscape and is a beautiful mountain with many faces. With changing seasons, lighting and atmospheric conditions it seems to be a new mountain every few minutes and it's never the same mountain twice.

SCENIC VIEWS

chuck@chucknelsonphotography.com (Chuck Nelson Photography) — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT

This gallery containes images of natural beauty or landscapes that have caught my attention.

RANCH AND FARM

chuck@chucknelsonphotography.com (Chuck Nelson Photography) — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT

This gallery contains images reflect rural living, ranch and farm life and the natural beauty associated with country living. I grew up on a cattle ranch so these images and rural living are familiar to me and one of my favorite subjects to photograph.

MISCELLANEOUS BIRDS AND ANIMALS

chuck@chucknelsonphotography.com (Chuck Nelson Photography) — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT

IN THIS GALLERY I PRESENT A VARIETY OF BIRDS AND ANIMALS, MANY OF WHICH WERE PHOTOGRAPHED IN SISKIYOU COUNTY, CA. ALL OF THESE CREATURES (EXCEPT ZOO ANIMALS) WERE PHOTOGRAPHED IN THEIR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT BUT I OFTEN COMBINE IMAGES IN ORDER TO CREATE A MORE INTERESTING OR AESTHETIC COMPOSITION. MY GOAL IS TO PRESENT THE BIRDS AND ANIMALS IN A VARIETY OF WAYS TO ALLOW THE VIEWER TO APPRECIATE THE CREATURE AND THE CREATOR.

Many images are presented in different aspect ratios to allow you to select an aspect ratio and size you like. In this sense, they are pre-cropped so you can see what the final product will look like.

NOTE: Many people prefer METALLIC paper for these imags so my pricing structure allows you to select premium paper (metallic or true digital B&W) at NO EXTRA COST. Matboard mounting is offered at cost so your print can arrive ready for custom framing in the event you choose not to order your print with a frame.
