plog?

No picture today!

I thought I'd type some stuff. I guess the big revelation over the last few days was that people actually read my blog! So to the handful of people that are looking at this every day and those that drop in from time to time...hello!

Anyway, there's some things I'd really like you to look at if you've got time, firstly the awesome Frederick Van (Johnson) has posted this excellent interview with Photoshop guru John Nack. In the interview the thing that interests me the most are Johns comments on a multi-shot depth of field type function that might work in a similar way to HDRs. I'm not doing the concept justice, so go listen to John and have a look around Freds excellent & varied video blog. (vlog? ...0log?...vidlog?...whatever)

For a lesson in how to do a photography blog (plog?) look at 365 to 42, by Brett Trafford. For a newbie like me this sets the bar for what I want to archive with my blogging (bloggery?). His photos (especially the birds) are tack sharp and gorgeous and backed up by really insightful text. There's also Brett Trafford Photography which has more of a tutorial feel to it and is shaping up to be a belter.

Anyway the weather forecast for tomorrow is excellent and my challenge for the week is 'Blue' as per the latest TWIP photo challenge. Hopefully some blue skies or blue seas or something - the standard of these contests is incredible but as I've said before, as a newbie I really like going out with a subject of some kind in mind. Even if I have nothing remotely near the quality of the stuff in the competition I will have had fun trying.
