Dinner party

Tonight we had a dinner party with some friends and had a great time.  This is after dinner with our friends David and Claudia.

Goldfinch

Since we had lots of bluejays at our feeder tonight, I patiently waited to capture one, but of course, as soon as I got my camera, they hid.  After waiting until almost all the light was gone, I settled for this pretty goldfinch.

Street scene

Today I worked on an image taken with my flatbed scanner.  I liked it, but it was a huge image and I couldn't get it to load in Photoshop or Lightroom.  It's probably because I've maxed out the memory on my laptop.  Anyway, I couldn't post it, so here is a photo of a street scene I shot after dinner tonight.  I'll try again on my scanner soon.

Season's bounty

A sample of the goodies I bought at the farmers' market yesterday.  Butterbeans, corn, green beans and the best cornbread I've ever fixed.  Today I spent a couple of hours learning more about Photoshop, so all my "photography time" was spent on back end work.  So....just a quick shot of a nice summer veggie plate.

Blackberries

Today I shot a series of objects that I wanted to put together as a collage of sorts.  However, when I started putting them together in Photoshop, I realized that I didn't know how to size them appropriately and since it's late, I didn't have time (or the energy) to delve into my Photoshop manual to learn how to do this.  I'll probably do this project, but it will take several hours worth of post-processing and I'll need to schedule out the time to work on it.  Since I'm short on time tonight, here's a quick image of some blackberries I shot this morning after breakfast.  Not a great effort, but at least it's a post!

I'm trying out posting from my iPhone tonight. Quick photo of Hobbes.
