Field Trip

Here's a candid photo I took as Deb and I strolled around in Bruges, Belgium.

A Quiet Morning On the Canal

Here's another one from Bruges, Belgium.

In Bruges

Bruges (aka Brugge) is a beautiful small town in Belgium and Deb and I visited it a few years ago. In my quest to find a photo to post today, this one called me. I had abandoned it because it was overexposed in the brightest spots and way too dark in the darkest spot. But with the amazing power of Aperture (photo processing software) and the inherent wide dynamic range in a raw file, I was able to resurrect it - more or less.I harp on focal points and making sure that our photos draw the viewers' eyes in my teaching and I'm really not sure that this photo does a good job of engaging the viewer. But here is it anyway. . .

03-21-09 Early Morning On the Canal

It's good for a photographer to be a morning person and this photo is evidence. The light is good, the breeze has yet to pick up and there is a serenity in this scene that I doubt exists an any other time of the day.

This was taken is the picture-perfect city of Brugge, Belgium, on a trip Deb and I took in June, 2008.
