From the Sky
Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby. – Langston Hughes

This week between weather that would be more fitting for the North-West (rainy and cloudy every day) and trying to keep close observations on our dog Foster, in case of another seizure, I’d not taken any photos and by yesterday it was getting to me.
So I grabbed a camera and headed to the yard [...]

First, thank-you everyone for your kind comments and emails in response to yesterdays post regarding Foster.
As a quick follow-up, Foster did not have any seizures yesterday or last night following the three Grand Mal Seizures he had the day before. His blood tests came back with no indication of any problem or issue.

The last few days here (central North Carolina, US) have been excellent for photographing interesting skies with big fluffy Cumulus clouds. With the rising heat of day a few of these clouds manifest into thunderstorms with heavy rain, winds and lighting.
While these clouds and sky make interesting photos on their own, I’ve also been taking [...]

Open publication – Free publishing – More sofobomo
I finished my SoFoBoMo ‘09 book a couple of days ago but was considering holding it for a while–I even blog about holding it yesterday. This thought was born from my own insecurities. Bonnie, my wife, got her first look at the book last night and she strongly [...]

Gordon McGregor recently published a post, “enthusiastic about enfuse,” on using the open source application Enfuse for HDR photography. I’ve experimented some with HDR and normally use Photomatix. Based on Gordon’s results I decided to take a look at Enfuse.
You can read Gordon’s post for more of the technical aspects of Enfuse but his opinion [...]

I believe, except for minor editing, my SoFoBoMo ‘09 book is finished. However, I’m not releasing it until near the 31 day mark, around the 1st of June. This delay may be a matter of my own nerves or wanting to have every chance to view it with fresh eyes before I let it go. [...]
