Quotes<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The world always seems brighter when you’ve just made something that wasn’t there before.<\/em>” — Neil Gaiman<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I learned a long time ago that there is something worse than missing the goal, and that’s not pulling the trigger.<\/em>” — Mia Hamm<\/strong>, American soccer player<\/p>\n

“The monographs I make give me a focus. I think too often as a younger photographer I missed telling a bigger story by focusing on single images and not bodies of work. Bodies of work and thinking in terms of a series forces us to go deeper, to mine the possibilities, to create unexpected themes or connections between images. And pragmatically, they help me sort through my edits.<\/em>” — David DuChemin<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n-Simon Booth processes a forest floor shot<\/a> I agree with the order and approach Simon uses for this image. My processing is similar except I use camera raw and PS. The order is critical, including lens profile correction. One difference: I nearly always add a bit of contrast with the texture, clarity and\/or dehaze sliders.<\/p>\n

Recently did my fall mulching and look what popped up overnight. Tentatively identified as Coprinus sylvaticus. It is apparently pretty common, but I like its delicate appearanc.e.<\/p><\/div>\n

These guys came up the same morning. Probably also Coprinus. It is amazing how ephemeral they are — they had basically fallen apart by mid-morning. Might be worth considering a time lapse.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
