This bad picture is sort of a teaser for something I’ve been thinking about whilst munching a piece or three (or 13) of (not) dark (enough) chocolate most night after dinner, while watching a bit of tele before bed. Some nights, these happy platitudinous advertising messages bother me less than other nights; some nights I …

7/52-10 the Castillian at Night
This was an interesting and rather difficult 7/52. Sunday came and went with no thought at all for the week’s project. Monday came and went with no thought at all for the week’s project.

Pretzel Salt. D7000. Vivitar 50mm f/1.8 (Cosina), reversed on ~100mm extension. About 12 seconds of processing in Lightroom (slight boost to contrast, saturation, clarity).

The interaction between the eye/brain and …

7/52-08 Macrobstractions

D7000. Nikkor 24mm f/2.8ai, reversed. ISO800, 1/40th (AP mode), f/2.8, -1EV, 30 seconds of slider play in Lightroom 4.
