Jasonisms

I guess I'd always held out hope that Google would roll the #Nik Collection into #Picasa and continue to support both of them. But, alas , they dropped Picasa like a bad piece of meat and now have set Nik adrift. For the record, I love #CaptureOne. It's a great program that produces amazing images. https://photographylife.com/another-nail-in-the-coffin-of-photography-software/

"The Original" SOOC I know I've been ignoring this blog for a while and I apologize for that indiscretion. While I haven't stopped taking pictures, both with Android and with Pentax; and while I haven't stopped sharing them on both Google+ and Streamzoo, I just haven't been in a place to sit down and type out posts. Today, hopefully that changes. The image to the right is one I snapped at the dog park a few days ago. This shotgun shell was just sitting out there on the walking path in a place designated for dogs, horses, cyclists and runners. It's not really a place for shot guns or their shells. Now, granted, this area used to be a gun-dog training area, but casual dog walkers eventually took it over from those trying to teach their hunting dogs not to fear the sound of a shotgun firing and to retrieve on command. Occasionally a shotgun shell is found in the park, some older than others. For giggles I played with a handful of photo-editing software option...

The BLOG THIS button in Picasa doesn't seem to be working for me today. It's not really uploading anything to Blogger leaving only a small empty square where an image should be. Very inconvenient. From Stuff
