Some of my better photos from 2009

December 31, 2009

I’ve taken a look back at some of the shots I’ve been for­tu­nate enough to cap­ture this year. flickr has a cool fea­ture called ‘sets’, so I made one — then noticed that I can share the set as a slideshow — embed­ded below. Enjoy! And happy new year!

Some photos of the day

December 19, 2009

I’m in Canada, so snow is a way of life at this time of year. It’s to be expec­ted, it’s routine, almost mundane. But occa­sion­ally you get the right mix of an early morn­ing snow­fall, and some really inter­est­ing light to provide the basis for cre­ativ­ity.
Mix in a little Light­room tweak­ing, and I have fun:
Morning Snow

Morn­ing Snow-2
Oh, […]

Full Moon setting on Wednesday morning

December 3, 2009

The fol­low­ing post is a Quick­Hit™ — an art­icle or post I found online and thought was import­ant enough to share dir­ectly with you. Of course, you’ll see my thoughts or opin­ions pre­pen­ded or appen­ded to this post, oth­er­wise I’m just scrap­ing con­tent, and that’s not the intent.

How to make a Polaroid from any digital image

September 27, 2009

Even though Polar­oid instant cam­era and film packs are no longer being made by the Polar­oid Cor­por­a­tion, you can get that same look on your digital pho­tos with Rollip.com. Once upon a time you had to manu­ally cre­ate these things in Adobe Pho­toshop or GIMP. Not any more.
Basic­ally, Rol­lip takes your image and does some […]

Atlantis on the Sun — Desktop Image

July 30, 2009
Thumbnail image for Atlantis on the Sun — Desktop Image

I felt the need for a new desktop image for my com­puters, now that the Apollo 11 excite­ment has died down, and I was tir­ing of my Apollo 8 Earth­rise image.
I found this neat shot of Atlantis trans­it­ing the Sun, by Thi­erry Legault. The fol­low­ing sizes at the NASA site:

Top of the World Provincial Park (2008)

December 31, 2008

I decided to take a scan through some pho­tos from earlier this year. This one from our sum­mer vaca­tion stuck with me as one that I could play with.
And I did. Using Light­room again. A bit of Sepia. A bit of dodging and burn­ing, and I’m rather pleased with the res­ult.
There’s an easter egg in this […]
