Week 32 GPlus Project 52

Week 30 S Curve
On the road
I've been a little lax lately on posting my Google Plus 52 project here on the blog. The photos haven't been all that inspiring, but I suppose that's not the point of this project. So, I'll try to catch up in this post.

Week 30's theme was "S Curve" which could be interpreted many ways. I recycled an earlier shot of a road curve. I've always liked this shot because unknown to me at the time I captured a car going through the curve. My attention was elsewhere at the time.
Week 31 was silhouette. The shot I used was one that I hadn't initially intended for this theme, but it worked out better than my other ones. It's more of a partial silhouette, but it still works.

Week 31 Silhouette
Partial silhouette
And last week's theme was animals. There were plenty of cats, a fair number of dogs, but no slugs. At least until my entry came in. Is a slug an animal? This guy was by far the largest banana slug I've ever seen, which I admit isn't really saying much.

Week 32 Animals
Slow but slimy
And now I'm caught up. Tune in next week for textures.

Manzanar

If you find yourself in the Eastern Sierra, I highly highly recommend taking a few hours and stopping by the Manzanar National Historic Site. It's tells the story of out not too distant past that we like to conveniently skip over. If you're not familiar with the significance of this site, this is where, shortly after the bombing of Hawaii by Japan in 1941, some 10,000 Japanese, most with US citizenship, were incarcerated. This site is one of ten sites around the country that would come to hold over 110,000 people, again most of which were US citizens, from 1942-1945.

Spring Has Sprung

I realize it's been awhile since posting, but here goes. I have a backlog of photos taken with some new gear (more on that in another post. Hopefully) so I'm going to post some that have only seen minimal processing within the Google Photos service? App? All in all I'm really impressed with how much Google Photos has progressed over the years. Until I get Lightroom setup on a new computer, Google, and a handful of other apps, will have to handle the workload.

Panoramas From the Road

Image
Before we get into the meat of this post, if you're viewing this on a mobile device, these photos really don't translate that well on it. These are large panoramic photos and really need a large screen to do them justice. Now on with the post.

Occasionally during my Eastern Sierra trip I had the idea to take panoramas to try and take in the full view of what I was seeing and feeling. I tried to focus on a part of the view I was seeing that would fill up my frame, but I felt that it didn't full get the whole feeling with only part of the view, but this led to other problems. All the panoramas I took were literally on the side of the road, meaning I was in the middle of driving, with someone who's not a photographer. So, not wanting to annoy them I left the tripod in the car and took these panoramas free hand. When taking handheld panos my general rule is to take many photos and to go well beyond and after my intended start and stop points so that the photo software has …
