taking it all in
From a recent Fathers and Sons campout a couple of weekends ago.
And no, this is not one shot, straight out of camera. This is a composite of two shots combined in Photoshop. One is a well-exposed image of the sky as it was at the time (which had everything in the foreground completely silhouetted), and one was a well-exposed shot of the tent, grass, and me (which had the sky completely blown out). Put the two together and this is what you get.
If anyone needs a run-down of how to do this, let me know and I’ll put one together.
And yes, I’m not very good with my layer masks, but I’m getting there.
blossoming
Last year, a neighbor gave us a few bushes that he had pulled out of his yard. We put them in next to our parking area in the backyard. They recovered from the transplant well and seemed to do fine. It wasn’t until two days ago that we realized that they could be even finer.
That’s right: they can blossom, too.

Digression: I so need a macro lens.
