I’ve Seen Onions From Both Sides Now
And…… here’s the other side of the onions. I did spend some time dodging and burning this photo and selectively adding contrast and vibrance. The depth-of-field on this photo is so narrow I didn’t need to do much focus processing on it at all. Because of the angle and shooting at f2.8 there is barely anything in focus at all. …

You’ve Got Radishes On My Onions
While in Mazatlan we spent some time in the Mercado Municipal in old-town. The market covers one entire city block and is very interesting to visit and wander around in. I took lots of photos while at the market and the onions and radishes above are one of the produce shots I got. Don’t ask me why taking pictures of …

Ruins?
I wanted to share this image because I love the detail (at least there is a lot of detail in the original), and the techniques that were used by the people that built the hotel that evokes such feelings of ancient mystery. I haven’t found that hotels or resorts pay that much attention to detail or take the extra steps …

Rotunda
Is the jungle taking over? It looks like it, but I don’t think so… This is a follow-up to the previous post, “Distressed”. This was shot with my new Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 lens at 14mm. Taken from the balcony of the hotel, this shows a different perspective of the rotundas on the back side of buildings. I like this view …

Distressed
In February I spent some time in Mazatlan, Mexico (which is one reason why I haven’t posted anything recently). I wanted to try some HDR photography while there, but did not have access to a tripod. Over the next few weeks I’ll be posting some “Hand-Held HDR” or H3DR photos. I’ve been debating about which photos to post first, and …

I should have posted this a long time ago, but this was one of those “I got busy” items and then I lost track of it. Recently I got permission from Hannah’s mom to post this and thought I would do it now before it got lost in the virtual stacks of to-do lists. Kids can be a lot of …

Portland Union Station
This is the result of my first HDR attempt. By that I mean going out with my camera with the intent of taking a bracketed set of photos to produce an HDR image. As usual, I happy, and I’m not. I’m actually quite happy about the final outcome – yes I know, I can hear several of you who know …

Roundhouse
Those of you who know me well, know that trains are one of my passions (along with photography, ruby, and my wife). I haven’t worked on my model railroad in almost three years – too many other things to do. I’m going to start the year by posting a few photos of the roundhouse in the Train Town Railroad. I …

Where Does Time Go?
I’m serious, think about it – Where does it go? If one consumes matter in pretty much any form it turns into energy. If one uses energy it generally results in ‘work’ (light, movement, heat, etc…) [E=mc2 and all…]. But where does time go? What does it do? I can feel it passing, I can see that time has come …
