Frozen Expedition

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I was thinking the other day as I drove past the frozen Scioto River downtown that I should go out and get some photos of it before it got warm enough to not be frozen. It has been more than a week without temps getting much above 20F and today was no exception, but we braved the elements and headed down to North Bank Park to get some photos. Unfortunately, we could only stand to be out taking pics for 15 minutes!

However, I did get a handful of decent shots, and with the dominance of white in all the photos I even got to practice some color enhancement, a new filtered B&W script, and some other tricks using GimpShop! I think they turned out pretty well.

    Something I’ve discovered over the time that I’ve been doing photography is just how much trouble I have editing digital images. Seriously, my wife can open up Photoshop on her Mac and do some amazing things, while I’ve tried a variety of Windows apps, including Gimp, and I just have never quite gotten the hang…

  • Gloomy morning

    Man what a gloomy start to the day we got here in Columbus. Rainy, gray, blah. It’s one of the few days I actually am glad my office doesn’t have any windows. The password switch didn’t go too badly, the ISP was kind enough to bend the rules a tad and send me a list…

  • New Lens

    I ordered the Nikon 50mm f/1.8D lens on the recommendation of a few folks last week, and it arrived at the office today. Naturally, I couldn’t wait to try it out. The one thing I was really excited about was how well people told me this lens works with available light when you can’t, or…
