Band Saw 2

29 December 2013:
Another attempt at an image of the band saw. This time with a tripod, and processing a set of varying exposure images as an HDR image with no overlay.

Band Saw

28 December 2013:
I keep trying to take pictures of different things in the garage, so far without much success. This time I experimented with an overlay. The original image of the saw blade and guide is blurry to begin with - I should have used a tripod, but didn't. I took a second close-up picture of the mottled case on the band saw and used that as an overlay. This technique has promise, but maybe not so much with this image. Keep experimenting…

Catalina Island

24 December 2013:

The air temperature made it up into the high 70's today, and we took advantage and went for a short hike on Palos Verdes this afternoon. We started hiking at the top of the Portuguese Bend nature reserve. I had never been there before, which is a bit hard to believe given how long I have been in Southern California. It was a great spot, with nice views of the Pacific and Catalina Island in the distance. We made it down to the shade under this stand of trees, and then hiked back out.

Aircraft and clouds

15 December 2013:
We had some great clouds roll through in the late afternoon today. We do not get these very often, so they are fun to shoot.
