3D!

Ok, not really, but wouldn't that be neat?

Some hot(bright), afternoon light vs. fading, evening light.

Shenandoah

Just off Skyline Drive

Cross your eyes

Haha, ok that was painful, I know.  Too far apart, I think.  I'll work on it.

(I bet somebody somewhere has a technique for doing this really well)

Duck!

I met a duck. We were friends.

Invasion!

Palaemon macrodactylus?

"The thing with studying invasive species is it's exciting to find them, but then not exciting as well because you really don't want them here"

Poor little shrimp

Stitching

Wish I had more sky, or more ground, or a polarizing filter...

Anyhow, while we're in photoshop, who can resist inverting?

        

Shenandoah National Park, Skyline Drive, VA

also, words with no definitions?

Honey

Honeysuckles

A bit of a technology setback in the workflow-I think something's wrong with my motherboard.  Who loooves RMAs? (not this guy).  Anyhow, on my old laptop now, which means the processing went back about 4 years in time while the camera finally caught up 4 years.  We'll start here again with a crawl.

Leafy Sea Dragon

New England Aquarium, Boston, MA

Waterfall

Is that an affine transform? Perspective projection? Geek it out.

Forest Floor

"Starting from the ground up..."

Starting off my tour of National Parks in

Shenandoah National Park, VA

No, I didn't see any black bear : (

The First of Many

Well, it's been a buuuuusy couple of weeks.  I won't bore you with too many details, but feel free to ask; we'll catch up!  Of note in my photo-taking life - I sold my dear, old Canon 30D for an upgrade. :D

Hopefully this transitional time will afford me some opportunities to break it in, because, honestly, there are a lot of new buttons on this thing...  Haha.  Learn how to use it, aaaand get around to posting things.  I'm still kind of hesitant to post anything before I really know how to use it, but here are some of the first shots I took.  Things seem quicker and easier, that's for sure.  Here's to things to come - photo-wise and life-wise!

Look out, real world.
