“Made with AI”?
An interesting controversy fired up on social media over the weekend. I’m not sure where it stands now, but apparently Instagram was…well, let me start with a photo of my own. I made this photo a few weeks ago while … Continue reading
Pan-o-rama
One of the things I’m enjoying about Lightroom (the photo editing software I started using earlier this year) is its ability to stitch together multiple photos in a single panorama shot. The AI it uses to do this is pretty … Continue reading

And then, there’s anti-serendipity
Serendipity is great! And it’s great when your skill level improves to the point that you start being able to recognize serendipity as it’s unfolding, and you’re ready for it! But also nice is knowing that the shot is coming, … Continue reading

Today in “Ya never know….”
Last Sunday morning I ventured out to Knox Farm State Park, a favorite local place of mine, to walk and do some photography. I wasn’t all that excited at the prospect, though, because the morning was quite cold and it … Continue reading

At the Gardens
Last week my Brother-in-Law visited us, and one of the things we did was go to the Botanical Gardens, which is always a terrific time, as well as a great place to practice photography! I organized my edited shots from … Continue reading
