The Pros and (Mostly) Cons of Upgrading to a 4K Monitor

I'm in the process of getting back into photography which will mean a new camera, more on that in a later post. But the first step for me was a new computer, one with the horsepower to handle a modern day camera and its RAW files. Along with the computer comes a new 4K monitor. 4K is great for media consumption, right? Your characters on your favorite show or movie really look detailed and realistic. Scenery looks wonderful. Everything looks great, right? Wrong. You know what doesn't look great? That photo I took in 2012 that I thought was sharp but is very much not.

Weekly Photo Projects, Week 32

Week 32: On White
The Monolith
Week 32 was a bit of an odd week for me. For the first time that I can easily remember I had photos for both projects ready on Tuesday, leaving me feeling a little empty when the weekend came around and I didn't have to rush around for a shot. For +Project 52 B&W the theme was On White, which I took to mean a white background. A cloudy but bright day on the beach and a long-ish shutter speed of .8 seconds got me this.

Week 32: Home Town
Naked Hangar One
With the theme of Home Town for +Weekly Photo Project 2013 I chose an image from my library of Hangar One in all its naked glory. Though technically next door to my home town of Sunnyvale, Hangar One was a structure we could easily see when anywhere close to Moffett Field Naval Air Station. I hope something between the Navy, the city, NASA, and private parties can be put together to renovate it and bring back some of its former glory.
