I finally got my vineyard images uploaded. This means I'm completely caught up on uploading images since I went to Yellowstone National Park. These also mark the first set of images I took in all RAW and edited "heavily" in Lightroom 5, and they are also the first images I used to test out my MacBook Pro's editing ability. I was impressed with the way my MacBook handled them, especially since the images look the same between my calibrated desktop and the laptop's screen. Though, when I first finished editing them, I didn't think they fit my style and was ready to scrap them and start over. GraceWagner helped me realize, though, that I still like these, and my style will gradually change over time. So, while they're still beautiful in a simple way, they are also different, and that's okay. So, I may have found I have started to fit into a new style. We'll see how it goes.
The show in Rockwall is still happening, though I'm having to cut it short. I interviewed for a new day job in Denver, CO and will be moving out of Texas on Dec. 8 to start my job on Dec. 11. We are busy packing and prepping, though we have most of the planning finished up. The lady hosting the gallery said it was fine for me to pick up the photos a week early, so at least that worked out for the best. If you're a photographer and live in Denver, though, we should totally hang out! You can show me some cool places to take photo walks. I'll be off and on over the next week or so as we pack up a "POD" for Delivery to Denver, though I should be back around about the 5th-ish after they pick it up.
Finally, I've been mulling an idea over in my head, and would like some feedback. See, yesterday, I watched a live drawing session for one of my favorite web comic artists, Zach Weinersmith of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. While I was watching I thought how interesting it was to see how many people really enjoyed seeing the creative process. So, now I'm trying to think about how interesting it would be to watch someone edit a set of photos over live stream. Honestly, I would think it would bore the heck out of most people, but then again, I thought that watching someone draw would be the same way, but I really enjoyed it. Thoughts on that, anyone?
That's it for now. As usual, thanks for all of your support, everyone!
52 Week Challenge
Hello, loyal followers.
I know I've been more than sporadic and worse than flaky here lately. I've been going through some life changes and doing some soul searching. I have been getting more and more itchy to get my camera out and about and stretch out my shutter finger a bit. A friend of mine hit me up a few days ago to do a 52 week challenge. Take photos following a prompt each week to practice different aspects and to think of my photos differently each time. I find this a great way to reinvigorate myself and gives me a direction for each photo in order to stretch.
The prompts can each be found here: http://petapixel.com/2016/12/28/shoo
Scratching
I mentioned a long while ago that I was just beginning to feel the itch to take photos again. I cleaned my sensor recently and have picked up my camera and started scratching the itch.
Feels good, man.
I have missed taking photos. Hopefully, I'll make more time for it, again. Time does have a way of slipping past when you're meaning to do something. I could not wait any longer.
Let's see where my photos take me.
The Itch
It is returning! I went to a pumpkin patch the week before Halloween and took some pics. I've been thinking about my camera since then. (Also, some new pics on the way! I know! It's been so long!) I hope everyone is doing well. I'm sorry I've not been such an active member. That unmotivated feeling seems to be lifting a little every day, and even more so on days I get my camera out.
I still have quite a few pics from my storm chasing that I haven't finished up. That's my fault. Kind of part of the whole unmotivated feeling.
Anyways, just wanted to let everyone know: I'M NOT DEAD. And my uploading should resume soon. :)
Thanks for your cont
Long Time, No Chat
Hey everyone,
Sorry I've kind of disappeared. I've had quite a bit going on with my personal relationships that required a lot of attention. I have been taking photos, only much more sporadically than usual. I shall be uploading quite a few after a storm chasing trip I went on a couple of weeks ago (I'm still picking out my favorites and editing them to my liking). I shall be uploading them soon, though, as my partner is looking forward to showing them all off and I need to finish them.
I hope everyone is doing well. I've been kind of drained on photo ideas, so I'm probably going to start my wandering again as I used to do on a regular basi

I am glad to hear you are feeling happier about those new photographs now, sometimes different is good as it keeps things interesting
Congratulations on the new job, I hope it goes well and you will be happy in your new home, I hate moving house so good luck with that too!
This could be interesting. I have seen videos of speed paintings which are good. I saw one of the girl from Ghost Whisperer, it was beautiful and looked just like her so it was good to see it being created and how much work went into it
