Rural Ohio In Pictures

George Corneliussen

* To view larger versions of these pictures, click on Article Images ( upper left ).

Between 1995 and 2001, I took many pictures on the Sunday rides my wife and took (and still take) in rural Ohio. All these images were taken within a hundered mile radius of Cincinnati. They are all 35mm, the film speeds vary. All pictures are copyrighted.

gorgeous! How did you make them grainy? photoshop? Or did they just load that way? Any-hoo I love it!
And again, lovely, George!

Mandi,
The secret is a combination of using actual 35mm film for the original image, scanning the image (Microtek ScanMaker 5600) , and processing it through Adobe Photoshop Elements.
The end result comes from "messing" with the image along the way.

Hannah,
Thanks, I'm having a ton of fun working with these images.
George Corneliussen Apr 10, 2006, 11:14am EDT
Cindy,
Don't give up ! More pics of covered bridges are in the pipeline.

George,

These are great. I have a huge box of pictures from various travels which you are inspiring me to unpack the scanner and get crackin on.

My favorite in this group: "Gonna hang around the shack till the mail train comes back." - Priceless. Thanks

Bill,
One word, " Scan-O-Rama". Get to scannin' my friend. What else do you have to do while you're waitin' fer the mail train. ?

Heather,
Mr. and Mrs. Ed ?
Carl Neeld Apr 10, 2006, 1:13pm EDT
Great pics but I'm still waiting for the covered bridges.
George Corneliussen Apr 10, 2006, 4:11pm EDT
Carl,
Don't lose faith, I've got you covered.
Aileen F. Apr 10, 2006, 4:36pm EDT
Lovely! Looks like the back roads here, too.
George Corneliussen Apr 10, 2006, 4:51pm EDT
Aileen,
Maybe we're neighbors ?
Carolyn Madden Apr 10, 2006, 9:53pm EDT
omg George, rolling in my sweet baby's arms! that song's the one i sang to my little boy endlessly when he was gravely ill as a baby.. it would sooth him like nothing else. and i never hear it over here cept when i play the Patsy Cline movie Sweet Dreams. and good old Hooterville made me smile big time and i can just hear that dawg saying 'you talkin to me?'
these are fantastic!!
Helen W. Apr 11, 2006, 12:19am EDT
Beautiful colors!
Carol Voigts Apr 11, 2006, 12:26am EDT
Love the doggie in the first one. And the horsies under the bridge. esp.
George Corneliussen Apr 11, 2006, 6:19am EDT
Carolyn,
Thank you, It is so great to able to share these pictures.
George Corneliussen Apr 11, 2006, 6:19am EDT
Helen,
Thanks, Color Rules !
George Corneliussen Apr 11, 2006, 6:21am EDT
Carol,
I agree, the countryside is the real Animal House.
Kathryn E. Apr 11, 2006, 7:18am EDT
George, of your current series, I like the Ohio pictures the best. I think I will take a trip again today to revist the earlier Ohio pictures you have in this series. A photo series is such a great idea, George !!!
Christopher C. Apr 11, 2006, 9:34am EDT
George, makes me think Johnny Appleseed will jump out! A good pictorial. Thanks.
George Corneliussen Apr 11, 2006, 10:18am EDT
Kathryn,
Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
" Farm livin' is the life for me".
George Corneliussen Apr 11, 2006, 10:19am EDT
Chris,
Is he or isn't he wearing a hockey mask ?
Gisela S. Apr 12, 2006, 5:36pm EDT
"Horse Sense" is definitely my favorite! I've got to back track and see what I've missed!
George Corneliussen Apr 12, 2006, 6:10pm EDT
Gisela,
Thanks, Animals always photograph smart for the most part anyway.
Beckie Lynn Apr 12, 2006, 6:49pm EDT
that is a great collection. the last one is my favorite though. its like the plane with the lions under its wing
Cheryl C. Apr 12, 2006, 11:39pm EDT
I'm beginning to think that all roads lead to Cincinnati. Because I've long cultivated a festish for delapidated farm houses, I could spend a day or more exploring Petticoat Junction. These crumbling buildings capture so much imagination, and remain a testimony to the many lives honestly dedicated to simple needs,
George Corneliussen Apr 13, 2006, 12:06pm EDT
Beckie,
Thanks, the horses are getting a lot of votes.
George Corneliussen Apr 13, 2006, 12:08pm EDT
Cheryl,
I agree, even though I already have many pictures from this area, I'm still inclined to load up the old camera when we take a ride.
George Corneliussen Apr 13, 2006, 3:25pm EDT
Zenith,
Thank you much !
Ron Hall Apr 15, 2006, 6:50pm EDT
The horses hanging out in the cool under the bridge are my favorite, but I really like the shack too. How much house does a person need anyway?
George Corneliussen Apr 16, 2006, 5:53am EDT
Ron,
If your house has a "You Are Here" map inside the front door, you probably have too much house.
Kathryn E. Apr 18, 2006, 9:13am EDT
Back again for another look. The nice thing about this series, George, is that it's like looking at an old photo album somebody has, or a coffee table book...
George Corneliussen Apr 18, 2006, 12:13pm EDT
Kathryn,
Every picture tells a story, don't it ?
