Underground

Just in time for my trip to Colorado I snagged a flashgun for my D1x. No clue how to properly use it and when I visited some Caverns that allowed the use of flash photography (the ones in my state don't) I thought I'd be all set.

Turns out the flash didn't work well in the caverns, probably (heck, most certainly) user error, so I ended up handholding most of the shots, with predictable results.

But I did manage a few good ones, such as this one here.

Fall

Yeah yeah, been late with pics. I've been in evening classes recently and that's been my main concentration. In addition, Summer is over, and so is my desire to go outside (I dislike any weather below 80 degrees) but this image captured my desire to stand outside for more than five minutes.

On a bridge heading to work, in the morning. Straight from the camera, the Fuji, with a 17mm lens.

On a side note, I endeavour to keep this site family friendly, refraining from even mild cursing. Much to my amusement, when I attempted to pull this site up from the University's network, access had been banned and the reason listed? The journal is listed as pornographic.

Heh, it's a strange world out there.

Plain

This is not what I shot. Well, the flowers are, but the colours are not. I've been shooting in RAW recently, which captures each colour channel individually and allows me to work with each one.

The problem here is that although the image looked great in PhotoShop, here on the 'Net it's washed out and faded. Not certain what I can do about that, it may be a limitation of the journal's image recognition capability.

In any case, pretend the colours are more vivid.
