05.19.2022 Learned a New Trick

In the past I’ve ham-handed my attempts at flare removal.  Some have turned out reasonably okay and others not so much.  I recently learned a method involving an inverted curves adjustment that does a nice job.  Of course, this image … Continue reading

04.05.2022 Tuesday Teaser

As I continue romping through my archives, I came across these two examples of Lady’s Slipper beauty from 5 years ago.  May is not that far off and it’s about time I paid them another visit.  I photographed one here … Continue reading

11.29.2020 Another view of Mount Monadnock

The distance to Mount Monadnock in NH appears a little more realistic from this spot in Shelburne, MA. A horse is a horse of course, of course. The mountain is the one to the left.  I believe in the center … Continue reading

05.28.2019 Evolution of a Sunrise

05.27.2015 The pinks get their due too

05.24.2015 Sunrise over Mount Monadnock

Why do I get up so early every day? Well, the main reason is that Murphy expects his breakfast at 4, but I have always been an early riser since I had a paper route when I was young beyond … Continue reading

02.23.2015 The Patten Redux w/Nuclear Sunrise

This is a similar but different image from that which I posted back in October.  Again, sorting through files I decided to give this a go as it includes the sun which I had avoided in the previous composition seen … Continue reading
