I’ve always had a soft spot for photography. I borrowed my mother’s camera in high school and eventually bought my own. These days, I mostly use my phone (it’s amazing how good those have gotten), but I still pull out my years old DSLR from time to time.
Mostly, I have pictures organized by photosets, but I’ve started adding a few ‘meta sets’ like Mini Worlds, Bugs etc (macros), and Fungus Among Us.
I submitted “Lonely Winter Night” for the Silence II challenge at DPChallenge. I came in 110 out of 177 with a score of 4.96 / 10. So far this is my best result at DPChallenge. I think that I may have over done the softening on the shot, but I still think it was a cool effect.
The first real snowfall of the year for Terre Haute. I looked out around 9:30 and it was too nice out not to take pictures.
I submitted “Natural 20” for the Lucky challenge at DPChallenge. I came in 66 out of 85 with a score of 4.41 / 10. In 20/20 hindsight, I probably should have submitted the other version of that shot. Oh well.
I submitted “Can You See?” for the Transparency III challenge at DPChallenge. I came in 116 out of 152 with a score of 4.64 / 10. I hope to do better in the next competition.
Some pictures from before and the rest from during the Verkamp family Christmas celebration. I really like how each of these turned out.
A set of pictures from the Olinger family Christmas celebration this year. This is the first set of pictures from my new camera!
Three shots from inside the dome at West Baden. It’s been decorated for Christmas and the tree is huge!
