April brought another competition for the Saint Paul Camera Club. Print Competition: Monochrome I had a horrible time choosing prints for this month’s monochrome competition.

Minnehaha Falls Trey's HDR Flatten then Jack it - PlayingWithPhotography

Re-imaging winter at Minnehaha Falls

Posted onApril 6, 20162 Comments

I spent a morning shooting Minnehaha Falls last winter. Then I spent a couple of evenings experimenting in Lightroom. I started off by just moving sliders around to get a soft feel.

A black and white afternoon at the Seven Mile Bridges

Posted onApril 23, 20153 Comments

Intense backlighting from the late afternoon sun made shooting a challenge at the Seven Mile Bridges (there are two bridges, a modern highway bridge and the remains of a historic bridge) in the Florida Keys, but I also loved the way the light both illuminated and obscured the bridges. I think black and white enhances Read More …

This year’s bubble experiment #1

Posted onJanuary 12, 2015August 26, 2015

A local photographer gave a class on photographing frozen bubbles today, so (of course) I went. I learned what I did wrong last year (making really big bubbles instead of little ones), tips I can incorporate into this year’s attempts (place the bubbles on the snow to photograph them and shoot them from below if Read More …
