Last night at around 4 p.m. (chinook on its way here)
Weather yesterday and today (so far)
The temperature has dropped 11°C in the past couple of hours and this chinook is making it almost impossible for me to think or write today.
Places on the internet where I share photos:
flickr: good community
Picasa: larger images and unlimited number of albums
momentile: Alpha only (not fully open to public yet).
A momentile consists of a single image, defined only by the date it was published. That’s it. Void of explanation and free from context, a momentile is pure visual communication.
My current (beginner) work flow:
iPhoto: straightening, cropping and sometimes colour correction
Apple Preview: sizing and emailing
GIMP: more involved image manipulation, colour balancing and retouching
Plans:
Culling and tagging photos so that I can find them more easily
Learning to control my imagery even more
Start a photographer’s journal
Polishing this pendant today I realized I’d been wearing it for nearly 20 years. Unfortunately, I’ve lost the artist’s name.
Today has been an unusually warm and bright day. 23°C. Normal for this time of year is 9°C.
Despite the obvious need for a tripod, the use of available light in the first image makes a much better photograph.
This theme started by placing my camera on my desk and just randomly turning it and snapping pictures without looking at the display. The first one was of the white chair and then I took a few more trying to replicate that (but actually looked at what I was photographing). I think I will explore this some more with a number of black and white items that decorate the house.
This is also a test of embedding a Picasa album in my blog.
