Shack, Aldrich Rd, 2010-02-03
I like taking pictures of … neglect. I don’t like the word neglect, so much, but rather the character a structure expresses after being abandoned to the elements. There’s another shack out on Aldrich Rd that I’ve been meaning to photograph, too. Print version.

Expose to the Right
I was very impressed by Ray Maxwell’s explanation of what a histogram on a digital camera shows in Maxwell’s House episode 60 [http://twit.tv/mh60]. The histogram is showing the amount of pixels that have a particular exposure and that exposure is power. So the further right on the histogram you go, the brighter the luminance. However,…

Bob the Build-*cough!* Ahem, ahem! Bob the…get the tune out of my head! Kevin, start whistling, please! I’m going to be building and building…software…but not my sink. This is not a matter of confidence, this is a matter of reliability.

Mt Baker from Aldrich Rd (Panorama) 2010-02-19
Here’s an attempt at making a very wide desktop background: 2560×1024. There are obviously better photos I could have chosen, but this one was recent. I think I need to figure out how to turn my bicycle into a tripod. I could certainly lose the shake, even on a 28mm lens. Feel free to tease…

Monitor gamma, cont.
A very fundamental idea wandered my way on the topic of adjusting my digital photography work-flow for … anonymous (for lack of a better term) monitors. These monitors have not been adjusted by anyone, likely. Their settings typically would reflect little more than entropy. Do I care for all my work to look good on…
