House Fisheye
Sunday, November 13th, 2011
I’ve been trying all week to get a chance to write a new blog post, but obviously did not succeed. I did get the print made for the gallery show in Vermont that opens at Darkroom Gallery in Essex Junction on November 29. I reworked the photo from the original file and was able to […]
Something Fishy
Monday, June 20th, 2011
Would you know this photo was taken with my fisheye lens if I didn’t tell you? Maybe if you look very closely, but I don’t think most viewers would notice. I like that. I’m pretty pleased with that lens because the fisheye effect is not overwhelming and I can often put together a photo that […]
Light At The End of The Tunnel
Thursday, May 19th, 2011
One of the features of the place I took Brooketo shoot when she was here is an old railroad tunnel. It provides some interesting lighting opportunities. And it gave me a place to do another fisheye shot that doesn’t look all that “fishy.” It’s fun exploring the characteristics of a new lens and learning what […]
Spring Flowers
Monday, May 2nd, 2011
The wild flowers were starting to bloom when Brooke and I were out taking photos near my childhood home. This patch of “Blue Bells” was particularly nice, so we decided to try to make some photos there. Wild flowers with nudes seldom work, but I think these came out ok. What I’m finding interesting is the […]
Software Alternatives
Monday, April 18th, 2011
I’ve been working on finding better ways to post-process photos done in bright sunlight. I think I’m beginning to improve the results. I talked with my old friend, Tim Black, about my problems and he suggested I try the Nikon software to process the RAW files. I’ve had bad experiences with Nikon’s software in the […]
Down on the Plantation
Saturday, March 19th, 2011
The nature preserve where I shot with Charlise used to be a plantation…actually two plantations. The main buildings are long gone with just a few foundation stones remaining to show where they used to be. But a couple small buildings remain. And they gave us some protection from the bright sun for a few photos. Above […]
Back In The North
Monday, February 28th, 2011
I returned home over the weekend. There was snow on the ground when we arrived back in Ohio, but it melted yesterday. Today it rained, but the temperature is dropping and it looks like we will be getting another taste of winter. But it’s March tomorrow, so the end is near. That’s another photo of […]
Notes From a Snow Bird
Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011
Sorry it has been so long. Last week was a whirl of activity, then I headed south with the family to get away from this horrible winter. We have a favorite place on the coast in South Carolina that we like to go to at this time of year when we can’t take any more […]
Dirty Show Snaps
Monday, February 14th, 2011
I went up to Detroit to attend the Dirty Show on Saturday night. They gave me a photo pass this year so I was able to take my Nikon in and do some snapshots. I don’t have much time for writing today (Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone) but I thought I’d go ahead and share a […]
Playing with the Fisheye
Friday, February 11th, 2011
It’s off to the Dirty Show tomorrow, but I’ve had time this week to do a quick shoot with Angele at the studio. As I’ve mentioned here before, I have a new lens, an 8mm fisheye. I have some specific things I want to use this lens for, but before I get to those I need […]
