GeoGlass > 7/1/09: Just a friendly horse at Muscoot Farm in Somers, NY
GeoGlass > 6/26/09: RIP King of Pop. Remember the good times, but more importantly, the message.
GeoGlass > 6/25/09: One of many "happy places"
GeoGlass > 6/24/09: Arc de Triomphe. The central figure looks down at the tomb of the unknown soldier (WW1). Best if viewed X3. "The Arc de Triomphe is one of the most famous monuments in Paris. Forms the backdrop for an impressive urban ensemble in Paris. The monument surmounts the hill of Chaillot at the center of a star-shaped configuration of 12 radiating avenues. It was commissioned in 1806 after the victory at Austerlitz by Emperor Napoleon at the peak of his fortunes. Laying the foundations alone took two years, and in 1810 when Napoleon entered Paris from the west with his bride Archduchess Marie-Louise of Austria, he had a wooden mock-up of the completed arch constructed. The architect Jean Chalgrin died in 1811, and the work was taken over by Jean-Nicolas Huyot. During the Restoration, construction was halted and would not be completed until the reign of King Louis-Philippe, in 1833?36 when the architects on site were Goust, then Huyot, under the direction of Héricart de Thury. Napoleon's body passed under it on 15 December 1840 on its way to its second and final resting place at Les Invalides." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_de_Triomphe
GeoGlass > 6/23/09: I'm getting so used these clouds that I process them into each and every landscape I post these days, so they feel more like home, new yawk, new yawk. ug. (best if enlarged)
GeoGlass > 6/22/09: Sometimes we wish that seemingly good choices were marked with this.
GeoGlass > 6/21/09: After apocalyptic rain for a few days, all the bees were out salvaging what they could... Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there.
GeoGlass > 6/20/09: Shrooms on aspara-guys. mmm
GeoGlass > 6/19/2009: Heart shaped petals.
GeoGlass > 6/18/09: I was just running some errands and saw this guy walking towards me around the Union Square area. Minus my "do you mind if I shoot you?" It was like a wild west showdown as I swung my camera around and started firing... I'd like more contrast between the cat and the building, but am happy I got the shot at all. Re why he had the cat on his head: People do crazy things, both good and bad, for money. Once I was done shooting, he asked me if I could spare a couple bucks. He caught me off guard, but I didn't think anything of it, because it was a fair transaction in my mind. other errand shots from around the city can be found here: http://geoglass.smugmug.com/gallery/8470818_cR9k9#556963270_eKHmW
GeoGlass > 6/17/09: an HDR view from the Tuileries up to the Louvre. This shot was taken a few days before and a couple hundred feet back from my Monday daily. You can also see those "poodle" shrubs in the background that were front-and-center in Monday's post. This fountain is famous for its two-headed Mallard, btw...
GeoGlass > 6/16/09: Amy and Georgia. Mother and daughter.
GeoGlass > 6/15/09: Monday. No pithy commentary is coming to mind. oh well.
GeoGlass > 6/14/09: Sunday Sacre Coeur
GeoGlass > 6/13/09: I don't know about all of you out there on the internets, but I always like to start my Saturdays with a hundred pushups, steak & eggs, and some HDR boobies in and around my monitor. Really starts everything off on the right foot, at just the perfect pace. Enjoy your weekend everyone! This is my first HDR. After work yesterday, I learned a method in LR2 that only required one RAW guy - no combination of bracketed exposures. I suppose the downfall with this method is majorly increased noise and chromatic ab on shots that really span the spectrum of light and dark. this one did not... the metering on the statues and bld was pretty solid to begin with, it was just the small strip of sky that was blown out. Given the mash potato cumulus clouds and the fact that they are still somewhat boring after HDR, i think that a technique which incorporates exposure overlay would salvage more from both super "light" and "dark" spots with fewer negative side-effects than crazily tweaking a single RAW. For those of you out there who are already pros at this technique, would you agree that using bracketed exposures generally produces higher quality HDR images? Thanks!
