Summer’s End.

Fall’s right around the corner…

The Sun and the Water.

Have a good weekend.

The Beach Phone.

Shot with an iPhone.
At the beach.

More to come.

Out of the Blue.

I’ve been playing around with some new post-processing techniques for my cell phone camera pictures.

The Wrong Light.

Another pair of sisters who needed pictures for their mom. Go figure.
The only problem was that there were no clouds and the sun was still at its zenith around 5pm.

We made do.

Also, two posts on a Friday? Madness!
Have a good weekend!

Come to the Light.

Sometimes you shoot something with a digital camera and look at the display and think, “Nope, but I’ll keep it anyway.” It’s a luxury film doesn’t give. This was one of those shots.

It looked blown out and I dialed the exposure back a little — I’d been thinking of this when I was doing it — and kept on shooting. It wasn’t until I uploaded the images to my hard drive to look at them that I realized that I really dug the shot. I toned it a little in Lightroom and cropped it some before I put it here.

It’s funny how that happens.

Zoe.

I was playing with the kids – well, mostly Zoe – at the playground and snapped off a few images for fun. I was playing with the flare aspect again. I’m not sure I have it down yet, but I am getting the hang of it.

Flare intrigues me for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that I’m exploring the idea of good photos that aren’t “perfect.” In addition to my personal musings, I came across this blog post about how to get images noticed on flickr. While I’m pretty sure this image won’t matter to anyone, it’s still interesting to consider.

When I brought this up on the computer to futz with, I was reminded a little of Andrew Wyeth’s “Christina’s World.”
