I wrote a whole rant about some advice a couple of professional photographers gave on their video podcast a couple of months go (and that I’m only getting around to watching just now), but I realized that 1) their advice was aimed at people who want to be professional photographers (i.e., not me); 2) their …

365.177 like a Pipsta
Pip is a happy little pug who really doesn’t much like these particular biscuits, but she’s not about to let Puck have it, and so she carries it around for awhile and only eats it to spite Puck… I think Pip looks quite gangster, here. Sort of a Pugsy Siegel, perhaps, though that’s a bit …
365.175 A Tipping Point
At first, I saw this as something disintegrating. Then it appeared as a strange tide rolling in. Then as coagulation or agglomeration. And yet again as rushing and crushing. Insofar as this picture looks like all of these, I think maybe it’s a tipping point, ready to go either way. In other news, I discovered …
365.174 Almost

Almost patient enough to wait out the fast-moving clouds. Almost observant enough to line up the various markings better (especially the arrows). …

D7000. Sigma 30mm f/1.4. ISO800, 1/125th, f/4. Some cropping and gentle processing in Aperture. I’m running a bit behind tonight for reasons I won’t go into, so apologies for not having a story or something to say about this. Note: a friendly neighbor assisted a bit, by strategically strewing flowers and twigs around. Thanks for …
365.168 people dressed in plastic bags, directing traffic
(Unrelated) Downloaded the new Aperture 3.3… It took ~30minutes to update my library, and a minute to get the RAW converter panel back. Overall, I like the look, though some of the stuff has been dumbed down a bit (the extra sliders in Shadows/Highlights, for example). The new preview functions are a bit strange too: …
