 It seems I don’t always have everything as completely organized as I might like. This becomes no more apparent than when I build a new computer and move over to it. I wind up with all these orphaned files and folders, cast away photos included. Sometimes I have no idea why I did it, maybe I didn’t like the photo at the time, maybe I set it aside for something. [...] Continue reading Stumbling across old things In my attempt to get a new ND grad filter (Cokin 4×6″ 3 stop soft edge) I got sent the wrong thing by B&H. They’re doing right and fixing it, it’s just going to wind up taking about a week longer to get the right thing. I’ve got to say, their customer service is much better than the last time I used it six or seven years ago, [...] Continue reading ND Gradually getting here Some day I’m going to find myself somewhere that has really distinct and photogenic lightning, and I won’t have a camera. It seems that will happen because the converse is almost always the case in the northeast. In NJ you wouldn’t get a well defined front, in upstate NY you have fourteen different weather patterns moving in from all over the place and the same thing happens. [...] Continue reading Lightning  Joe and I went down to a party at a guys house south of Rochester who we worked with or near last summer (Joe still works at the same place, but I’m an advisor’s slave now).

It was a fun time seeing them all again, and the place we were at was a lot of fun too. [...] Continue reading Chance with benefit Today Joe and I thought we might go downtown to watch and shoot the fireworks. We were considering shooting them through archways in the old abandoned subway but the rain all day and the hazy skies discouraged us. Continue reading You don’t have to take that photo This is a neat trick where you “abuse” the unsharp mask tool in Photoshop to have a small sharpening effect (in other words contrast enhancement) over a large radius around object edges. The result is a subtle bump in edge contrast and if you don’t overdo it, no visible artifacts in the image. The most common misuse of this is an overapplication resulting in a halo around objects in the image. [...] Continue reading “Photo polish” a.k.a. local contrast enhancement  Irondequiot Bay Continue reading Playing with color I’ve been wanting to get something going for a while now and this is it. I have no idea how often I’ll be updating this or what I’ll update it with each time. I hope to be able to use this to share things (photographs) with friends and family.
