Graphics tool

Let’s get one thing straight. Graphics software and I do not get along. I take a digital camera picture, and then when I try to enhance it to, say, make up for the lack of natural light on an overcast day, I turn the picture into complete crap 90% of the time. Angela is good at that stuff, she has a ton of rather expensive graphics programs and can do all sorts of really creative and awesome things with it. I can’t. I start messing with all those tools and pretty soon I can’t even recognize the picture anymore. 🙂

Given that, I’ve always looked for something simple. Something that would make some basic adjustments to a digital camera picture without me having to mess around with it. Something that would, for example, take the pictures I took on a cloudy day in Montana and enhance the color that was there, I swear, but that didn’t come across in the pics very well.

I found it. Digital Camera Enhancer from mediachance.com. The free version did wonders for the colors on those overcast landscapes, just by me telling it that it was a landscape pic. It did the rest.. The pay version ($35) has even more tools including a batch enhancer. Now the Yellowstone Pics have the color that’s been missing since I got home!

    Street Photography and Festivals

    I’ve never been overly comfortable taking photos of people or street scenes with people in them. I guess I’m somewhat shy about approaching people, and assume that most people would rather not have someone take their picture, so I don’t do it often. This past weekend, however, I made the trek up to Asheville for…

    Is it reliable?

    I wrote yesterday on the Friends in Tech blog, about why I don’t rely on on-line Office Suites, but here’s a similar thought. Even for something as unimportant in the grand scheme of things as photo-sharing, or Twitter, I still get mighty aggravated when a service doesn’t work correctly and I cant do the thing…

    A couple of photos from Water Fire on the Mile this weekend. One taken with a slow-shutter speed as you would usually see recommended for night time photos. It gives a nice shot, allows for a lot of light to enter the photo, get the lights reflecting off the river, etc. The other, in order…

    Hummingbird Moth, a photo by mikemac29 on Flickr. Took the Nikon D3000 out for it’s first adventure to Furman this evening. Liked what I saw from the first batch of photos, going to be uploading them to Flickr over the next few days, I’m sure. This one was especially cool, just because it’s always fun…
