Took my camera to the store again.

Got a few more shots along the way. All fresh off the card, I'm waffling on coughing up for Photoshop again…

Everything from my Nikon D7100 wearing a Nikkor 35/1.8 DX lens (one of Nikon's finest, IMO)

Leaf on a fence


Adorable story…the cashier saw my camera and said "Oh, that's a fancy camera, are you a photo…photogra…photographicalist, I'm not sure the word?" and I said "yes, I'm a photographer but it's just a hobby. Would you mind if I took some pictures of you?" and she agreed, so long as she got to see them…and.I wish I could have taken a picture of her grin when she saw them


DC Metro awnings are quite aesthetic, though this may be better B&W

Carwash and bakery…get a fresh baguette while you get detailed

3. I'm very familiar with the GNU Image Manipulation Program.

Problematic name aside…it just plain sucks. It's not in the same ballpark as Blender, not the same league, not even the same sport.

Yeah, it's technically just about as powerful as PS but ho-lee-crap is the UI/UX awful. I've been trying to learn it for probably 20 years and I still don't really get it, to the point that the $20 a month for the Evil Empire (plus a terabyte of storage, which isn't bad at all) is looking very useful.
