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!
