Photo of the day 5/4/11 – “Untitled”

“Untitled”

Between homework and dealing with my vehicle matters, I didn’t have a lot of time tonight so I grabbed an old picture from my first digital camera (2.1 MP, bought in 2000) to see what I could do with it.  The colors were bad so I greyed it and I don’t think it looks awful considering the source.

Photo of the day 5/2/11 – “I Think He Underestimated the Cavalry”

“I Think He Underestimated the Cavalry”

I underestimated how savable this photo was.  It was way overexposed and harsh looking out of the camera.  But I’m glad I took Steve’s advice and didn’t delete it.  At least my underestimation wasn’t fatal.

Photo of the day 4/29/11 – “Royal Attempt”

“Royal Attempt”

Even though there is nothing spectacular about this photo, some challenges from the original got me to play with some features of Lightroom I had not yet played with. And so, jolly mission accomplished.

Photo of the day 4/26/11 – “Unpretty”

“Unpretty”

In between monsoons today, I went for a walk on a nature trail. I’ve been doing this more and more as my appreciation of nature grows. (The 1000 and 2011 goal doesn’t hurt either.)

One thing I notice more and more on my walks is litter. Some there accidentally, some probably there intentionally, and some definitely there carelessly. But unlike the past, I didn’t just walk by it. I picked up a bunch. But there is a bunch more. Next time, I’ll bring a bag and leave the camera home.

So here is some of it in today’s photo of the day. Raw, and not prettied up.

Every now and then I get to work in the Minneapolis office. For years I flew there, but this time it was cheaper to drive. Of course, I had to bring the camera.

I love cities, and having the car allowed me to discover some cool parts of this one that I didn’t before know existed. Here’s a view from one of those.
