I had assumed that any in-camera picture-control settings were not saved when shooting in RAW/NEF format. That these settings were lost unless one was shooting in JPG. Not just assumed, but I have many times tried using various settings and found that when I opened the NEFs in PS, the in-camera picture-control adjustments were lost. [...]
A book I picked up back in the mid ’90s changed the way I saw and photographed subjects in nature [flowers, plants, insects and also landscapes]. After having read and re-read this book, it was John Shaw’s “Closeups In Nature” I went on to his “Landscapes Photography“, “Nature Photography Field Guide“, “Focus On Nature” and “Complete Guide [...]
A photo trip with good friend Stein Naevdal up the Balu River aboard the Peacock - a traditional Bangladeshi motorized sailboat boat – on 20th November early morning just as the sun was rising.
We got to Tolna [coordinates: 23°51'1.00" N 90°28'24.26"E] just before 7 AM in time to see the Peacock pulling up to the small pier [...]
SKWPW 2009.
One can plan, but one can’t be sure the plan will work as planned.
That’s what happened.
It did not work out like planned. A mishap along the way prevented me reaching the meet.
The images from the other Walkers should start appearing at the SKWPW pages online soon though, and these are going to be really [...]

SoFoBoMo is done. Completed on 7th June. The excitement and fun of doing the project have been savoured and enjoyed. So, what does one do now? I re-look at the book critically and want to change a bunch of things. Remove some images, switch a few, add a few, change the layout and book design….
I [...]
Looking at the hits stats at my SoFoBoMo blog – the most hits are for the posts that contain phrases like “failure”, “quits”, “SoFoBoMo no-go”, “halt”, “nada” and not for “completed”, “hurray” etc…
People look at things differently hmmm….

The fun part is over – making images.
Processing was a minimal job – Â converted the RAW files to TIFF in PhotoShop with a slight adjustment of contrast and levels, a bit of sharpening or softening depending on the image, resizing them. Making the final selections and stringing them together with the help of a few [...]
