Picture: Bidwell Mansion, Chico, California
I tended to include “No HDR” with many of my landscape images posted online. I heard too many people say, “great use of HDR” at a time when I never used any automated HDR process on my images. Not long ago, I finally experimented with a few HDR shots. The [...]

Picture(s): Lava Tube Cave Entrance, Lava Beds National Monument, Modoc County, California.
Those people that know me and have seen my image postings around the internet may have seen many of my postings contain the phrase, “No HDR”. The only reason I posted that, and have mentioned before, is that I’d get so many comments [...]

Picture: Early evening light over Mount Diablo from Briones Regional Park, Contra Costa County, California
Two great tests today. The first is this test of the hosted embed widget from my PhotoShelter Archive. (It works.)
The second, and much more significant venture, is more akin to that Anakin Skywalker’s trek over to the Dark Side. This is [...]

Pictures: Asilomar State Beach, Pacific Grove, Monterey Peninsula, California. The first is a straight RAW file; the second represents my standard image processing, which took less than 30 seconds, and the third is a “hyper-processed”, highly-saturated image like might often be seen on Flickr.

Like purveyors of private ambulance services, many touted the line “let us help save you”. One company that has surfaced is LicenseStream.

Some of you readers had a chance to see my post this last week regarding a fake reflection filter used on a slot canyon photo. Although I’ve since deleted that post, one of my favorite shows brings this subject to light. I’m a huge fan of the PBS show, NOVA, and their sister program, NOVA [...]

So this evening I was doing some random surfing on the internet; and speaking of surfing…
Check out this photo taken during this years Maverick’s Surf Contest by photographer Brant Ward. The image appears on the SFGate.com photo gallery pages. The SFGate is owned by Hearst Newspapers, and everything about this gallery and other similar galleries [...]

In following with my last post, I found another good explanation page for something most amateur photographers know nothing about; the Historgram. One of the keys to improving your photography is to gain an understanding of how your camera sees the world – and it doesn’t see it like your eyeballs. Understanding the Histogram is [...]

Picture: Golden Gate Bridge and grey fog sky, from San Francisco Bay, California
This has been one of those work travel catch-up repeat periods over the last six weeks. Recently, I got to take a cruise on SF Bay. As the boat got close to the Gate, a dilemma that confronts most amateur photographers confronted me [...]

Picture: Clouds shroud a mountain peak near Whistler, British Columbia, Canada
