Half Dome from Tunnel View

Photography Comments Off

Working on things for the holidays, and here’s one of the images I’m making prints of:

This is a reprocessing of this shot from a 2007 trip.

Just a LITTLE bit better, I think. Why spending time on practicing your post processing is a good idea…

The good news is — I’ve finished christmas shopping. The bad news is: I have a bunch of empty frames that need things put in them before I can wrap them…

I decided after thinking about it not to do a calendar this year; instead, I’m doing some prints to give away to some people. It’s making me take a fresh look at some of my images, and I’m seeing I can take some things I thought were pretty good and make them a lot better.

At least, I think they’re better…

(updated. I realized this morning I patched in the thumbnail of the wrong photo; corrected to show the proper previous photo.. sigh)

Stuff to Read

Here are the most popular blog pages on this site over the last 90 days:

New laptop time revisited

Here are a few items I think you'll be interested in checking out while you visit:

Backups: I've talked a fair bit about backing up your data and why you should. Most people don't. Most people don't. Most people regret that some day. Don't be most people. To understand why or how, check out more than you wanted to know about backups, and even more. Then I decided to follow my own advice, and then I started running out of disk and had to solve the problem. Which is all really more than you want to know about backups -- but you need to know it, or you'll regret it.
Photography: There are three rules they tell photographers. I explain why those rules are wrong (at least some of the time).
Teachable Moments: I love teachable moments as a way to take mistakes and turn them into something postive. I just wish I didn't make them quite so teachable some days, as I did the day I convinced myself a ring-necked pheasant was really a blue grouse. Birders will understand...
Paying Forward: Here's where I make the case for paying forward instead of paying back.
Blogging: and because I know I'll need it, here are 50 reasons why I haven't been blogging. For when i stop blogging for a while.
Apple: And finally, an explanation of what I did for a living when I was working for Mama Apple.

Looking for Something?

Here are a couple of companies that I purchase from and can recommend to you.

In some places on this site I use links that take you to a page where you can buy a product I talk about. If you use that link and make a purchase, I'll earn a small commission and you'll earn my thanks for doing so. You don't pay more when you do this and I get a few dollars to help pay for this site's fees or to put away for that 800mm lens I'd love to buy. If you choose to use these affiliate links, thank you. If you would rather not, that's fine as well.
