Monthly Archives: December 2010 It’s the remnants of a chair next to an empty lot on Dunham Place in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Shot hand-held with a 50mm prime wide open at f/1.4, with simple processing to increase the texture and contrast on the chair while leaving the background a blur. In addition, I think that Photomatix managed to properly align...  There are 20 inches of snow on the ground, with drifts 3-4 feet high. So I thought I would pull out an image from September, when people wore shorts and had bare arms. Tweet  Christmas is a season, and it does not begin until Christmas Day proper. The Church celebrates Christmas over eight days, or an Octave. The period before Christmas is not part of Christmas season, it is a separate season known as Advent. Yesterday, the first Sunday after Christmas Day, was the Feast of the Holy Family....  My daughter was very sad when Christmas ended yesterday, so we’re doing what we can to extend it. Tweet  I feel bad about not having taken or posted any Christmas pictures this season. Last year, when I was still really just starting this blog, I took a lot and they were the main subject in December.

Tweet  Three months ago I posted a rear view photo of a Mercedes 250SL, explaining that I was not too excited about the front view shots that I took, but noting that I might try to salvage them at a future date. Last week that post received a new comment from Dave who asked to see...  Just a few links today regarding my HDR work. I have joined an informal group of 6 HDR photographers. Each week one of us supplies a set of bracketed photos to create one HDR image. Everybody in the group processes the image as they see fit, and the person who supplied the image hosts all...  Quick one today. Busy weekend, busy day, so I’ve no time to think of what to say or even a decent title. This is what it is. It was shot from Brooklyn Bridge Park with the very bottom tip of Manhattan visible. The pier that is under construction will soon be an extension of the...  That’s the Whalebone building on Duane Street, just off of Hudson. According to this article, the building was built in 1843 as a residence. At some point it was converted into use as a whalebone cutting establishment, and when it closed in 1920 it housed the last working whalebone cutter in the country. The sign...  |
