For some reason I cannot determine, there is a glitch that exists when you try to move between the first image and the second. So please start with the first thumbnail which is the second image and move forward. Thanks....  About 2 weeks ago more or less, I was monitoring Twitter for activity from my photographer friends there, when one of them Jacques Gudé, tweeted something about wanting to try swapping brackets with some of his friends. Immediately Rob Hanson and I accepted, and what you see below is the first result. We have not...  I have a good number of night time street photography shots in which the subject is slightly out of focus. So I was pretty excited when Topaz Labs announced InFocus, which is touted as being able to “enhance the clarity of an already well-focused image, as well as deblur an out-of-focus or motion blurred image.”...  Everything is pretty in golden hour. Even with a graffiti marred doorway, the scene just seems to defy the name of its street. The street at the far end of the block where the light is shining is the infamous Bowery. The shot disappointed me a bit when I saw it on the computer, as...  They were with a parading New Orleans jazz band, performing “When The Saints Go Marching In.” Tweet  I’ll be curious to get people’s opinions on this one. When I took the shot, I had no idea that everything was leaning so far to the right. It isn’t lens distortion. As you can see below, when the image is simply straightened, everything lines up vertically. Nevertheless, I decided to keep the lean to...  This will be quick. My post today is late because I’ve had a busy weekend. There was a family event yesterday, a lovely christening. Today I went shooting, and the image above is one of the results. Finally, I have a new computer, which I am still in the middle of setting up. My hope...  I’m willing to entertain the notion that I went a little overboard with this one. In particular, the HDR processing is probably gratuitous. Nevertheless, once I started down the road I could not turn back. This is a still life of some sort of potpourri display that was a gift to my wife, taken in...  This is an infrared image of the moon, some clouds, and part of a bush, taken around 4:00 pm in my backyard. Apart from the clouds, there was a bright blue sky. The infrared capture and black and white conversion create the illusion of darkness. Actually, I would not know how to get a capture...  Very few real streets look like this. In fact, if you are watching a movie or TV show and see a street in the midel of a city that either dead ends, or ends with either an L intersection or T intersection, it is almost certainly a set. City streets tend not to have such...  I received enough positive feedback yesterday to keep me going with the Bus Stop series a while longer. I tentatively plan to stop making regular Bus Stop & Crosswalk postings when each series reaches 100. I won’t stop shooting or posting them, but they would no longer be a twice-weekly regular feature. Tweet  or the hat will work you. Earlier this week Jason Martini posted this image on Flickr and tweeted that “Chicago has the most wide brimmed hats per square block of any city!” I can’t argue the point, as I must admit that NYC has a shortage. While there are a smattering of fedoras, plus the...  Hmm. I confess to getting a little bored with the general trend of the Bus Stop images lately. There are still some good ones, but I’m finding more interest in the Crosswalk shots, and general street photography. It might be coming up on time to give the series a rest. If you have any thoughts,...  |
