Category Archives: Still Life Although this is a photo blog, in today’s post, the image is really just there to seve the story. Yesterday at work I tried to charge my iPhone, but instead of charging it generated an error message: “Charging is not supported with this accessory.” Now this was odd because I had used that accessory to...   This is obviously the companion piece to yesterday’s image, but while that photo made me reflect on the origins of the pilings, this one has me reflecting on a powerful concept – life finds a way. I expect most of us picture Jeff Goldblum saying that in the Jurassic Parkmovie, but this takes me back...  I like to imagine that whoever threw away this perfectly serviceable suitcase just gave up.

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...  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. As a result, it seemed as if this year I had already covered the main Christmas subjects in...  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...  |
