In the beginning…

Well, here we be. I now have my very own BLARGH!!!

As it says on the About page, this blog’s primary goal is to be a way for me to track my progress as I relearn what I used to know about (more or less) serious photography and expand on that.  I’ll probably be dropping blogs that have to do with some of my (many) other interests but will be trying to tie them in with a photographic theme.

Let’s start with one of my recent favorite shots, a chance happening I caught the day of the first big snow in Central Indiana of the year.

EXIF Data:
Nikon D3100
ISO 1600
F/5 1/60s
18-55mm VR @ 34mm

The only real processing is a little cropping, some additional contrast, and decreased brightness.

Another one I got at Cool Creek Park a few weeks ago.

EXIF Data:
Nikon D3100
55-200mm VR @ 190mm
ISO 400
F/5.6 1/250s

I cropped the crap out of it and did a little bit of contrast adjustment but pretty much what’s here is what came off the camera. Just in the right place at the right time.

That’s about enough for now, I think.
