Photo of the Week #11

I thought I'd try a conversion to black and white. This is another one from the hoar frost last month.

Photo of the Week #10


Can anyone identify the object in this photo? A couple of hints.

  1. It is found on Maui.
  2. The photo has been overly processed.
Ooops, I hope I haven't broken someone's rules and committed "photographic vandalism" by processing the photo. LOL!!

Photo of the Week #9

This photo is simply an experiment. I don't really think it succeeded, but I was trying to use camera motion to create something of an impressionistic image. Obviously, I need a lot more practice.

Well, I have to admit that the latest flurry of posts over at OT has been one of the most interesting sequences I've read there. I'm glad they took my post, or perhaps the information posted on the Ultra Fractal list where I got the information, as the catalyst to start that discussion. I find it encouraging that there is a bit of disagreement between Tim and Terry on some of the issues. It would be even more interesting to read other opinions on the subject, but that isn't going to happen there. They just don't like others contributing to their pontifications, as their comment policy and previous banning of several individuals from commenting attests.

In general, I found the exchange between Tim and Terry quite interesting. I found it informative to see the different viewpoints and various areas of agreement and, especially, areas of disagreement. There were some comments that I thought were over-the-top, and I may comment on them later. I haven't taken the time to fully organize my thoughts on the various things discussed yet. If you haven't read them, this is one time I would recommend that you do. I think it is this type of discussion that the two of them intended their blog to be.
