Photography

It could actually be a deWalt ad, since she is playing with the new 18V flashlight that came with the kit...

Both pictures below were ones I took on a trip up the Coastal Highway in 2005.
Neither picture caught my eye until recently - something I find happens often enough
that I will periodically go back and review my older photos.

A new sharpening tool that I've found very helpful is Focus Magic.
It is especially good for photos that are a bit out of focus, and it doesn't seem to have many problem creating artifacts.





Enjoy!

Another from my "Farmer's Market" series...




...using what is becoming my favorite lens for this kind of shooting - the Canon 85 1.8. Now if only
it had a better short focus distance! I took this picture right at the minimum focus distance.

Both of these taken on one of her favorite things to do... a walk in the stroller. Light was getting very dim (around evening), so I had to take the shots at high ISO. I find with high-iso shots that a B&W treatment works well. I've also started using the Imagenomic Noiseware pro product for noise removal. I've been using Noise Ninja, but find it creates too many artifacts. I like Noiseware as it has a portrait mode which is aggressive about noise removal and has the effect at the same time of smoothing skin.
