I took a bunch of pictures – six gigabytes worth, apparently. There are some out-of-focus junk shots, but there are a surprising number that I really, really like. Some of the images I want to upload to Flickr right away, but some need deserve a bit of post-processing. Some of the images I took with the intention of doing something with them, whether it be fake tilt-shift, HDR, or fake lomography. I just didn’t bring a laptop with me this trip that had Photoshop, so I couldn’t fix things on the fly. When I get this new laptop configure the way I want it (ie, getting right of Vista), I’ll be happier about processing images while travelling.
Flickr can bit kind of weird. As I said, I think some of these images came out extraordinarily well. However, if I upload them all at once, the really good pictures might get lost in the deluge of images. Therefore, I’ll be sending these out a bit at a time. Today I uploaded a few HDR shots. Probably by the end of the week I’ll have the rest of them on the way.
That cabin/building with the mountain background would lend itself to a watercolor or painting ala Wyeth. The boat picture above is reminiscent of a Benwah color scheme, which could be quite interesting. IMO.
It’s a shame that photos like this don’t bring that much money as art objects.
