We were making a last-minute run to the grocery store New Years Eve, and this was what the rear-view mirror of our neighbor’s vintage truck was showing me. I guess it gets the message across?
Shot with my Nokia phone, then cropped, converted to 16-bit TIFF, then run through Luminance HDR and saved as a final JPG.
Happy new year to all that celebrate it, regardless of just when you consider the new year as beginning.
From Halau Wa’a Episcopal Church’s Christmas Eve service, 24 December 2022. Processed in high-dynamic range (HDR) using Luminance HDR. It brings out the candle smoke. The “candles” are actually those anti-mosquito citronella pots. The church chose them because we’ve had windy weather and the citronella flames stand up to the wind better.
Ahhhh ……

Photos taken when we recently visited the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Denver, processed using the (perhaps) aptly-named “National Geographic” filter in The GIMP. The originals were much lower in contrast and looked kind of flat.

My writing and creativity (and this blog) haven’t gotten much of anywhere lately.
“Why’s that?” maybe you ask. (Or maybe you’re still thinking about your worst enemy?)
A few things:
Now some of those things needed to be done, so there was some justification for doing them.
But the times when I didn’t have other things to do, and had some energy available, I have to honestly say that I’ve rarely done any creating:
One good thing from the last few months’ effort: I’ve finally caught up on ALL OF MY UNPROCESSED PHOTOS! 🙂
But I still have a storm of stories and ideas for stories, music and pictures. When I look at doing one of them:
So I added a new item to my To Do list, something to help me decide which of the hundreds of stories/ideas to do.
So let’s see how long it takes me to complete that item. 😉
