D 247 - Colors and motion

Ad hoc trip to the city airport surroundings.

D 237 - Fog at 40 meters above ground

Lousy weather but a glorious morning view from the window.

D 236 - Clean for 30 months now

Another thing about Picasa as RAW processor is complete lack of noise reduction. Which in case of Powershot compact camera starts to annoy at ISO 400 and is visible since 200.

D 229 - Evening bells

Length of the day just reached this sweet spot where I walk to and from work during the golden hour.

D 228 - Harmonious

Simple photo but I like the way the colors match.

D 224 - Motherly

When the child is away on vacations...

D 145 - Sunset +

Equipment

D 135 - Bottoms up

And there I have it at last. Satisfying photo using a pattern. It's shot through a large wine glass pointed at window blinds.

Equipment

E-510 with Pentacon 30.
In Lightroom: graduated filter (desaturate), levels, clarity, noise, sharpness and certain crop which moved the focal point closer to the golden section.

What I learned

Experimenting does not contradict thinking twice before pressing the shutter. Less is more.

D 89 - Master Frodo?

Taking advantage of the warm lamplight in my living room.

Equipment

E-510 with ZD1442.
Tone levels and color mix in Lightroom.

What I learned

With relatively slow shutter speed (1/10 - 1/20 sec) making shots in a series greatly increased my chance to capture a any sharp photo.

D 87 - Does not apply to trams

Just a scene as seen from a car.

Equipment

Samsung s630.

What I learned

Any dirt stains on the windshield can be made irrelevant by putting the lens very close to the glass. Reflections however are a big concern and difficult to avoid when the shot must be done quickly.
