3x Monitor Background: Beach Pebbles
More from Deception Pass: This one was more difficult to produce because the color gamut was beyond what Hugin could deal with. I posterized each picture down to 256 colors to get some reasonable color control. I took it back into Gimp, resized it again and did a bit of enhancement. Let…

Two 3x Monitor Backgrounds from Deception Pass
I had good fun with my camera on Memorial Day. Been a while since I filled up a memory card. Since I have such a nice computer at work, I’ve decided that I refocus my photography towards landscapes, and put out multi-desktop wallpapers.

Father and Daughter, Elizabeth Park
This seems to be the one of the more popular photos I’ve posted this year. Here’s a slightly more romantic version of it. I have a 24×18 @ 300dpi source file for making large prints if so desired.
