Great sunset tonight that I almost missed if not for trying to get a photo of a rainbow to the east. Glad I had a chance to see this sky spectical in all its glory. These are straight out of the camera, no post editing at all. 

Grabbed the photo below with my Android and edited it quickly with Snapseed. I liked the black and white treatment of this image the best. Below is the original image:

Earlier today I was at the store and one of the sample-persons was handing out these Hershey's Kisses. Plenty of people taking a few kisses but very few people buying a bag. Not even me, but I'm more prone to buying peanut butter cups than Kisses Regardless, I was able to grab this quick snap and thought I'd share.

I've had a couple of friends recently accuse me of being depressed. Not "I'm having a bad day" depressed, but clinically depressed. I brushed them off citing I wasn't depressed, just tired. While I've been sleeping better this past week since my cough has subsided, I have still be extremely tired throughout the day. Earlier today I was on the phone with one of those friends and she again accused me of being depressed. "No, I'm not," I said. "I'm just tired." And that means I lack motivation to do just about anything constructive. She told me that was a symptom of depression. I wanted to argue with her but then she said something (I can't recall exactly) and I had an epiphany: I haven't been taking pictures. I always take photos. Sure, there are times where I have set the camera down for a week or two, but never have I set the camera down for this long. It's been nearly two months. Sure, some of that was driving 1.5 h...

inspired by G+ post https://plus.google.com/u/0/103486150650858067282/posts/WTgoQUUEf4m and article  http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/how-to/shooting/digital-pitfalls-a-cautionary-tale.html + AJ Schroetlin , I agree with most of your points. However, with the advent of the digital age and the relative inexpensive method of digital manipulation we have at our disposal, I think many photographers have taken to compensating their lack of camera skill/knowledge with being adept photoshop users. A crutch. However, I do agree that many photographers took on HDR as a gimmick. They saw how popular HDR processed images were and in order to stay in the game, took on that method for their own work. I can't fault anyone for that as many business that plans to stay relevant has to adapt to current market trends, or find their niche. And , I also agree, HDR does have it's place and that one and only place, in my opinion, is when trying to capture those ranges that camera sensors just ...

This is a good thing. #Photography Originally shared by Jeff Cofer put down what does not belong to you: Developed in collaboration with the photo industry consortium CEPIC and the media technical standards body IPTC, the new feature helps make it clear to Google search engine users who the copyright owner of a photo is. https://petapixel.com/2018/09/28/google-adds-image-rights-metadata-to-photo-search-results/

Did you know sometimes I grab the camera and go outside? I did just this recently with a local group of lightpainters, which is something I've always been interested in, but not anything I knew how to do on my own. So, when I read about this group I decided to make contact and go shoot with them. And it was fun. Everyone was extremely nice, offering advice, taking advice and just being down-to-Earth people. I've been on photowalks before and hung out with other photographers, but this is one of the best groups I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing photography with. I have no idea what the name of this model is, but when I find out, I'll edit this post with the appropriate information.

Lots of good #photography and #photographer resources in this link. https://blog.pixpa.com/online-photography-communities-to-follow/

Okay, this is pretty darned interesting. #photography #Kodak #sepia #monochrome Originally shared by The Public Domain Review The circular snapshots of the very first Kodak camera (the first truly portable camera), whose inventor George Eastman was born today in Waterville, New York, in 1854: http://buff.ly/2udPhbR

I woke up this morning to the internet not working. Not just the wifi, but a CAT5 connection wasn't working, either. Just another reason why I disagree with this whole "move to the cloud" movement we've been in for a couple of years now. So, I tried writing in Libre Office, I had problems sitting still long enough to complete a thought. Having only a handful of hours sleep will do that to you. So, I decided to open up some old unprocessed RAW images and convert them to JPGs since I still have actual software natively installed on my computer. Then I chose an image and ran it through NIK Software Silver Efex Pro. While the image turned out fantastic, when I went to save it, Nik overwrote the original JPG. That sucked. Anywho, here's a waterfall from a few months ago. Waterfall in Black and White

When they ask you where you studied to produce such stunning selfies, you go ahead and tell then you studied at Harvard. #photography https://www.google.com/amp/www.konbini.com/us/inspiration/harvard-photography-classes-online-for-free/amp/?_utm_source=1-2-2

If you're older than your average millennial then you probably have some film prints collecting dust in an attic, basement or closet somewhere and that makes them hard to share. And, if you're like me, you're probably too lazy to sit at a scanner for hours on end digitizing your collection, or worse yet, you're (like me) too cheap to send your images off to a service that does these things for you. Good news! Google has you covered. #photography #photos #archive https://www.wired.com/2016/11/google-photoscan-app-scan-your-old-photos/?mbid=social_gplus&_utm_source=1-2-2
