1,100 Views, 761 Comments, 42 Favs, 2 Galleries

As I sit here, trying to heal from another cold, I have been Flickr-ing about, and in doing so, I have noticed that my simple little picture of the small little creek near my house, has reached 1,100 views!

I think back to that day, it was the day after the first snow of the new year, and at the time, I had know idea how this capture would be received.

It just seemed such a simple capture, and simple HDR processing.

Japanese Maple Studies

It been about 2 weeks since I have had a chance to do any picture work on the computer.

Why?

Sick…

Something nailed our household. First one child, then Daddy, then the other child, then Daddy…

Oh well…

Yesterday, I finally downloaded an processed some images, and posted them to Flickr…

These particular images were taken while waiting for my daughter to get of the bus.

As for technical details, they were captured in Canon CR2 Raw format, then converted to Adobe DNG, and then tweaked in Adobe Photoshop CS3.

In Photoshop, I really did not do to much, which was a nice change of pace.

Hope you enjoy!
