Random post Tuesday

Tuesday, August 24, 2010

No, “Random Post Tuesday” won’t be a regular feature here.  It’s just a title, so don’t worry!    With many blogs doing “No Blog Wednesdays,” or guest blogs, or other such stuff, you don’t have to worry about some type of regular feature here.  I’m keeping it all random. A Little Surprised Talking with Josh [...]

Putting an image together…surprising what comes out compared to what goes in

Monday, August 23, 2010

Recently I’ve played with creating a few composite images.  It’s been a fun exercise, and I’ve been using Photoshop features that I just don’t regularly use.  Lots of fun!  Today I played with another composite idea.  It isn’t done, but it’s coming along.  Thought you might like to see what went in, and what’s come [...]

Going for the subtle HDR with Photomatix

Tuesday, August 3, 2010

Over the past year I’ve heard so much regarding HDR, “un-realistic”, etc.  Well, I thought I’d talk about doing a more subtle HDR today and how you can get a more realistic look.  That means no halos, no super detail enhancement, and none of the psychedelic look that people complain about.  Of course, I’m sure [...]

An evening in the Dells

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

Last night I took another walk out into the Dells.  This time though I wasn’t alone…… Josh, Ashley, and Melissa came along.  See, Josh has been working on a “fire dancer” project, and last night was his latest part of the project.  Okay, so the whole reason I went into the Dells was for the [...]

3 Takes On One Image

Wednesday, July 21, 2010

Last night I tinkered with a few images after taking a walk through the Granite Dells.  No monsoonal downpours or shockingly beautiful skies yet.  But hey, I’m patiently waiting.

A few Monday updates

Monday, July 19, 2010

This weekend’s Firehouse Plaza 1st Annual Luau looked pretty successful to me.  The late afternoon saw many people roaming the plaza, enjoying the food, and watching the finals in the volleyball competition.  I decided to include a few more photos just to show you what things looked like during the afternoon around the plaza.  Did [...]
