Prints on Metallic Paper
… You just have to love it. When I need the best quality in my prints I have a printer in the Mid-West print the images for me. I upload the files and a few days later I have my prints. I probably use them more for orders on metallic paper than anything else. The…
Now how did I do that last time?
Have you noticed that once in a while you start thinking about the way you used to do something with your camera but it won’t come back to you? Most of the time you can even look in the manual, if you happen to have one, and you still can’t find the answer. A few…
Riveted
Well are you tired of my HDR images yet? I’ll try and make this the last set for a while.
The images in this set are macro 1:1 shots of three separate images blended to make one image. You actually take a normal image and one over exposed and one under exposed and blend them together and then do some strange things with color saturation and some other things that you don’t really care about.
Anyway the objects in the photos are the rivets holding the steel plates together that make up an old railroad tank car that hauled water. Steel, water and lack of maintenance can make for some very interesting close up photography. I give you … Riveted…

From the Junk Yard

A few images from our trip to the coast the week of the 4th. I will admit to a little HDR processing on all of these. I am still learning the limits and capabilities of HDR. I know it can be a great tool and on the other hand is is something you can go “way out there” with in processing. Some of these may be just a little heavy but I don’t think any are “way out there” HDR was done with Photomatix.

From The Beach
It was a point and shoot kind of day. Wind blowing sand 30 mph kept the good camera in part of the day.

… it is time for a trip to Newport. Probably some of the best public dock walking I have found anywhere.
Box Of Rust
I can’t help it. sometimes I like to play with a filter or two in Photoshop. This one kind of plays games with the eyes.. Is it really a box or what shape is it? Not that it makes any difference. I just thought it looked cool. (click for the big image)
