Thre had been stories before

Thre had been stories before, a photo by fangleman on Flickr.

I've seen a somewhat recent trend of pictures of trees, taken with the camera moving in a vertical direction. It makes creamy gorgeous lines. I tried it with something else. Very nice to my eyes.

So, uh, when do we eat lunch?

I pushed this one a little harder than I typically do. I think it works. Do you like it?

I made a B&W version, but I didn't like it near as much.

All natural sunlight streaming into the building. Much darker inside than it would appear from the long exposures...

I tried a different method this time. I combined the 3 exposures in Photomatix and saved the TIFF image without any tonemapping. Then I loaded it into Photoshop and did all the tonemapping in Photoshop.

Light was a mix of one fluorescent and natural light streaming in from an open door. Not an easy white balance to fix...

The white balance was difficult on this one. All natural light from outside, but the light from behind the camera was streaming through a color, while the light in front of the camera was through normal, though quite dirty, glass. I tried to bring it back to the real color, but it is still a little off overall.

Maybe it's been done before, but I created this cocktail tonight. Wine glass? Why not?

Single jigger to about 6 ox of tonic water. Adjust to taste.

A very nice, refreshing drink. Enjoy!
