Back to the macro… but I tried something interesting this time: I took two shots (one at 1/3 second, the other at 1/13th, both ISO800 and f/11) and then tried to use the ‘Merge to HDR Pro” function in Photoshop. Alas, something shifted, and Ps was unable to align them properly. So I opened them …

365.142 she canna take much more of this
After yesterday’s Happy Accident, I decided to try to get one On Purpose, and I must say that the Happy Accident turned out better, and was much easier to recognize as ‘shot-of-the-day’ than this one. Of course, it didn’t hurt that the Happy Accident was the only picture I took yesterday, but it screamed “I’m …
365.140 a Happy Accident
While speeding to work this morning (I wasn’t running late, just speeding), I came up on an suv of some sort, and the light coming off of its spinners was AMAZING. So I slowed down, whipped out the camera, popped off the lens cap, pointed it, and tripped the shutter… But a D7000 in AP …

I shot through a second test of the BlackKeys 44 camera on the Hipstamatic Disposable series app today, and had no intention of using one of those for the 365. In fact, I shot a nice picture with the 645 Pro app that captured my agoraphobia in a beautiful and suggestive manner, and which I …
365.139 that kitten in the window
This cat tends to watch me head out to work every morning, so today I whipped out the phone and shot it. Good thing I did, since I had loads of stuff to do after work, and couldn’t be bothered to shoot anything for the 365. I did shoot a house, though, so that’s …
365.138 Smear Campaign 2012
Insofar as I’m feeling wildly uninspired today, I decided to shoot one of the tiny little painting things I made in late 2011, in an attempt to relax and kickstart my creative juices after months/years of neglect. I wasn’t ever satisfied with the paintings much, but it was more an exercise than anything else. Anyway, …
