Found a photo-blog website today of photographer Ken Rockwell. There is a page where he has reviewed (hands on) the soon to be released Nikon DSLR D40 with photo comparisons as well as other models in his 2006 Holiday Camera Guide. I noticed a link to his gallery and am still going through his photographic travels as I type this. I am especially fond of his photos from France; the lavender fields and chapels extraordinare`. Just gorgeous, and I'm sure he's used filters in some of the photos. He doesn't mention it but if he doesn't then I'd love to be his student! But I wonder if I can be a good student with my Olympus C3000Z 3.3mp point and shoot? *sigh* I've been tempted to pull out the ol' Minolta 202 SLR 35mm, heavy (boat anchor) as it is, and give it another go around for old times sake.
If you're so inclined to take a peek, be prepared to spend a minimum of an hour browsing and reading (brief comments) his travel photos. This particular photo gave me inspiration today and thought I would share the link. Gratitude for the Code Talkers.
Excellent information contained in this article for photographing the Meteor Showers that are visible in the northeast this evening abt 11:30 pm.
Good Luck and have fun! I'm hoping our skies will clear up so we can watch - we're currently under dull and cloudy skies today.
ciao!
I think it turned out so pretty. Each of the circles that I'm showing here have been manipulated using my own photos of flowers from our gardens. Some of them had been changed into a different design prior to making the circles and some of them were unchanged before making the circles. Oh yes, the center circle in the row above, is of a wine glass, a portion of a wine bottle (label) and a sparkly candle holder. No flowers involved in that one. There's a few more posted at my Flickr account, if you care to check it out.
Was browsing Blinklist today under their tag "Photography" and followed one that sounded rather interesting. Of course it led me to a few others and because I know there's a few photography enthusiasts in my neighborhood, I thought I'd share the links here.
I'm still teaching myself different things in Paintshop Pro. I find it more user friendly than Adobe. Although Adobe is probably better, for me, it's like learning how to play piano after you've learned how to play organ first. The differences are in the way you make the tones last. Ok, so maybe that's not a good analogy but Paintshop Pro has me spoiled and Adobe .... I think if I was shown a few shortcuts, I might catch on faster. I spend a lot of time in Adobe trying to figure out where everything is and what the comparable techniques are called. Some of the things in Adobe are quite a bit different.
Here's today's project. Original photo on the left, unchanged except maybe resized to 640x480.
Here's a few pics of roses that I was playing with under low lighting. The flash fired in all of them. It wasn't until after these, that I tried some with minimal lighting and higher ISO (200 and 400) that I started to see the hot pixels appear.
