Olga and I went for a very short walk today. I used the opprotunity to make a few images. I tried to be as broad goaled as possible. And I think I’ve got it right this time. I have made portraits, panoramas, close-ups, and probably something else. Overall, I have selected 9 images after postprocessing. Check them out and let me know what you think via comments.

Today’s ‘Picture of the day’ came out pretty fast and easy. I just shot salt and pepper a couple of times. (It turns out, a white t-shirt on the chair makes for an excellent, alsmot studio-like, background). Originally, I intended to make the picture in black and white. But after postprocessing, I couldn’t decide which one is better, so I left both of them.

Today’s submission to “Picture of the day” project touches upon the subject of love of animals. Out of 6 shots done, I found only 3 usable. Out of those 3 three, I picked only 2 for the submission.
Lessons learned again today include making sure that background doesn’t have any wires growing out of person’s head (I used to have trees and polls, but now it is down to minor subjects) and making sure there is enough light (it turns out it is pretty dark under the table where dog eat) for moving subjects (like people and dogs). I also realised that I way too far behind in learning Gimp. I mean I can do a few tasks easily now, but whatever requires patience is out of my league. Like cutting out a noisy background.

I was supposed to post lots of pictures of cars today, but since the show is apparently next week, all I have is just three pictures of the poster. Stay tuned though – I am going to visit the show anyway and you’ll get your pictures too.

Once again a boring day with nothing much happening. That means I am photographing whatever nearest to my hand when I understand that there is nothing interesting for my submission to ‘Picture of the day’ project today. (Now that was most probably one of the longest sentences I have ever written. Or this one). Anyway, the nearest thing to my hand was at this time a can of Pringles. I thought – “Why not? I haven’t yet photographed Pringles. Or, at least, I don’t remember doing so”. And so I did.
