Welcome Summer!

Here are some images for early summer...  I took these while visiting Florida. 

Recently, I've been migrating my catalogs to a new laptop.  This has been quite a project as I also decided at the same time to upgrade my software to the subscription Adobe Creative Cloud service.  This is an interesting proposition as for a reasonable monthly rate, my versions of Lightroom and Photoshop will always be current without dropping the big one time payment to actually purchase these programs.  We shall see how this goes.

At the same time, I have taken Amazon up on their "unlimited" cloud photo storage option for "Prime" subscribers.  I uploaded over 14 thousand pictures for backup... thank you Amazon!

So you can see that while I have not published on the blog in a while, I have been busy with my hobby...  I have a back log of content to share in the coming weeks.  Here is the first batch...

I hope you like the photos!

 

 

 

 

 

Christmas in Budapest and Holland

Here are some images for the season taken on a recent business trip to Budapest and Holland.  As I was there for work, my opportunities for seeing the sights were mainly set in the evening.  This forced me to experiment and work on my low light techniques.  I must say my Sony Alpha mirror-less camera performed well.  All of these images were taken hand-held, without the luxury of a tripod.  I have not had much time just yet for post processing.  Most of the pictures you see are raw, straight out of the camera.

I enjoyed my visits to the old churches of Budapest and the outdoor Christmas markets.  I hope you like these, my favorite images of that trip.

 

Merry Christmas!
