On Friday, I went down to Provision Bread & Bakery in downtown Colorado Springs and got myself a delicious loaf of sourdough, their absurdly delicious croissant cinnamon roll, and this delightful…

Look closely!

[photos] Taxiing

Flying home a few weeks ago, I ended up with the entire exit row to myself. That made for a pleasant ride back, and it let me try some things when it came to framing shots out the window. Pulling…

[photos] Dallas Wall

Walking back to the hotel after drinks and dinner one evening on the Vanta all-engineering offsite, this wall and parking lot and parking garage and tower all caught my eye. There are so many fun…

[photos] Illusion

One of our social activities in the Vanta offsite back in September was visiting Dallas’ little Museum of Illusions. Most of them weren’t especially interesting or photogenic, to be honest, but this…

[photos] A Good Drink

At 3Eleven Kitchen and Cocktails in Dallas, at a Vanta all-engineering offsite in September. A smoky variant on an Old Fashioned. See it full size. CameraSony α7R V LensFE 50mm F1.4…

[photos] Rain / Beach / Dog

When we took a family vacation to Virginia Beach back in May, I rented (n.b. affiliate link for LensRentals!) the Sigma 60 – 600mm ƒ/4.5 – 6.3 DG DN OS Sports…

[photos] Downtown Denver Wall

Downtown Denver back in April. We met a friend for coffee and lunch, walked the vicinity of 16th St. Mall, and took a bunch of pictures along the way as we caught up on life. See it full…

[photos] Watership Down

Our older daughter just read Watership Down for the first time. On finishing, she insisted everyone else in the family had to read it sometime this year. Our copy, picked up from a used bookstore a…

Took this walking near our house back in January. The horses caught my eyes! See it full size. CameraSony α7R V LensFE 50mm F1.4 GM Settings𝑓/4, 1/2500 s, ISO…

[photos] From Mount Muscoco (1)

The aspens were just starting to turn when I took this hike with friends a month ago. And I figured out how to use masks a little bit when editing this photo so it looks more like it did in person…

One of those delightful surprises.

[photos] blossoming

Two days ago, walking through our neighborhood. And yesterday evening, trying to dial in the colors in Lightroom CC: more practice on color grading and image processing. The α7R V’s out-of-camera…

[photos] spring evening

Continuing to work on (read: muck around with) color grading in Lightroom CC. This isn’t quite where I want it to be but it is waaaaay ahead of the image as it came out of the camera. full size |…

[photos] Autumn Sunset

A lovely (subtle) sunset last autumn. I dropped out the shadows here a lot: in “real life” and in the photograph both, the foreground was quite visible… neighborhood and mountains alike. But I think…

[photos] Eagle on the Neighbors’ House

A mated pair of bald eagles live in our neighborhood, and one came and hung out on our next door neighbors’ house for a few minutes this morning. 🤩 🇺🇸 🦅

The same photo as the previous one, but this time my first ever experiment in color grading. I think this worked better than the B&W? full size | Glass CameraLeica Q2 LensSummilux 1:1.7/28…

Trying to catch a hint of the feeling of the end of the coldest day I’ve ever seen on the Colorado Front Range. full size | Glass CameraLeica Q2 LensSummilux 1:1.7/28 ASPH. Settings𝑓/5.6, 1/125…
