Unexpected Snow....

Tuesday morning we had an unexpected snow storm enter the area so I went out and took some images of my snow covered daffodils. The snow had melted by the next day.

From the Past...

I have thousands and thousands of photographs that either sit on a hard drive or are in a filing cabinet in slide form. A very small percentage have seen the light of day, I decided to change that. Recently I've started working on a 30 year retrospective book project and I've been going through my archives, here is one the photos I found taken on Fuji Velvia film. I used to be obsessed with macro photography but in recent years I've strayed away from that, I think it's about time to go back to my roots.

Something Different...

A couple of weeks ago Google announced they were making the Nik software suite free to download. You can't beat free so I downloaded the software and here is one of the first images I processed using Silver Fx Pro. This image was made by opening up Silver Fx and just playing around with it. There are a lot of how to videos on Youtube that cover the use of all the different aspects of the Nik suite, I plan on watching some so I can take full advantage of the program.

Clouds on The Move.......

This image shows why I wasn't able to get a clear photograph of the milkyway during my last visit to Popham, which would've been behind me. This is facing west and the glow on the horizon are the lights of Cape Elizabeth and Portland. Even though they're miles away the long exposure really makes them show up, the 30 second exposure also causes the clouds to streak as they head east.
