Photo Luggage and packing gear for travel
Photo Luggage … All I need is a Sherpa This weekend, I’m going on a business trip to the UK, Germany and France for about 17 days, and getting my photo gear ready. I’ve picked up a few new pieces of glass and needed a larger bag, so I went with a roller carry-on for […]

Star Squared
Trifecta’s Morning Star Squared Playing around a bit with some new lenses, and my dogs as my guinea pigs. This is a Tamron 28-300 f/3.5-6.3 on a Nikon D610 body… actually, this is a Golden Retriever who’s photo was taken with the equipment combination above 🙂 I cleaned up the photo a bit with Lightroom, […]

This image is composed of three Lightroom merged exposures (-2, 0, +2) and some post processing in onOne Photo Suite. The Times Pub sign is what caught my eye, and the brick wall … so grabbed […]

Boston Summer Street and South Station
Summer Street, Boston I’ve been up in bean-town for a business trip this week, and the weather has been fairly crap all week – that is until yesterday afternoon. After work, I walked around downtown for a couple hours taking photos and looking something for dinner. I grabbed this image in three exposures (-2, 0, +2) […]

Barcelona Cathedral Revisited
Barcelona Cathedral Revisited On the road again, this time in Boston, Mass… and it was an unusually rainy and cold night so I spent the evening in my hotel room catching up on some of Matt Kloskowski‘s Lightroom and OnOne training videos I purchased last month… I somehow missed Lightroom’s inclusion of a native merge […]

Trifecta’s Morning Star
My Star A photo of my Golden Retriever, Trifecta‘s Morning Star – who was kind enough to be a crash test dummy for some work I am doing on a preset in onOne photo suite. She is the best damn Golden in the world – and yes I am completely partial and the vote was rigged. […]

Barcelona Cherubs
Barcelona Fountain Cherubs An image from a trip to Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain earlier in 2015 while in the city for business. The walk from the office to my hotel was through La Rambla and I passed these cherubs two or three times – each time the lighting was fubar or there were too many people sitting in […]
