I spied this object up above the sidewalk while walking around downtown Sylva on Friday. Any guesses what kind of shop is doing business just below the frame of this photo? (Click on photo to enlarge.)

Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
On my daily travels around western North Carolina, I occasionally pass through the town of Sylva. While making a delivery there one day, I discovered CT Auto Service, which is located one block off of one of Sylva’s main thoroughfares. What caught my eye was that most of the front of […]
Flamed Hoods
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
Folks have been painting flames on their hot rods for, well, since they first started building hot rods. Generally, flames are not what you want to see on, or coming out of your car, but painted flames usually look good and remain popular. Here’s two different interpretations of the same theme. […]
‘63 Dream
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
Do you dream in color or B&W?
I found this 1963 Studebaker Champ pick-up truck parked outside the Cherokee Rod Run earlier this month. It wasn’t officially part of the show, but I thought it deserved to be. Until I saw this one, I didn’t even know Studebaker made trucks. Well, they […]
777 - Everything Is Broken
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Let’s say this is another typical Friday: late at work, in a hurry in the morning, in a hurry while on my way to the train, short on images as usual.
I could have gambled and hoped for a nice night image with snow falling, and although […]
776 - Artificial Flowers II
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Yesterday I couldn’t shoot anything usable in the morning, and in the evening I found myself in a restaurant without any image at all. They had some artificial flowers, I made some images, rather uninspiredly, and this was it for the day.
Today, Friday, on the train, I […]
775 - Long Distance Call
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Here we go again. It’s winter time, and the worst thing is not the cold, no, it’s the light, or rather the lack thereof. I leave home in the morning either in a cruel, gray mock of dawn, or I am so much in a hurry, that […]
High Dynamic Range Processing
Submitted by Ralph Nordstrom Photography Blog
High Dynamic Range or HDR has become a standard and often used tool when I’m in the field. For example, a few weeks ago when I was shooting sunrises in Bryce Canyon we would arrive well before sunrise. Generally I would start shooting when it was light enough to get […]
LR/Enfuse For Blending Multiple Exposures
Submitted by Howard Grill Blog
Maybe everyone out there already knows about Timothy Ames’ LR/Enfuse, but I sure didn’t. For that reason, I thought I would post some information in case anyone else out there is as in the dark as I am. I found out about the Lightroom plug-in when I happen to run across […]

Thanks For Abundance and Freedom
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
No doubt about it, our economy is not as healthy as it once was. Still, we in America enjoy a standard of living, even in the tough times, that we should be thankful for. As shown in this photo of an old-time country store, the variety and abundance of food and […]

Thanks To Those Who Serve
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
Of the many things we have to be thankful for this season is our military, the men and women who faithfully serve to keep us free. The media seems to enjoy pointing out the bad eggs, but overall, this is a group of people who deserve our appreciation for all they […]
774 - He’s Gone Away
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Well, on we go with this series inspired by Bill Birtch and Juha Haataja, this time done in-camera, with the exception of straightening, vignetting and some color excesses
Today’s image was shot only maybe 50 meters from yesterday’s, and I did it in a, well, kinda […]
773 - Trains And Winter Rains
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Pretty obvious that I’m back to Vienna, huh?
Post-processing of this night image of yesterday is inspired by the recent work of Bill Birtch. My original idea to set the camera to long exposures in the range of one or two seconds and to use in-camera motion blur […]
Bryce Canyon Reflections 1

The trip to Southern Utah is starting to yield some results. And while this is still preliminary (that is to say, it hasn’t been proofed yet), this one is a favorite. And, it was just about the first shot I took.

772 - Mountain Hare Krishna
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Today was an extraordinarily bright day and a little bit warmer again. My first idea was to watch a sunset on mount Dobratsch, the mountain where I’ve watched the sun rise and set many times, but I did not manage to get up in time, and […]
771 - And Winter Came
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Just this morning I read Ted’s blog entry about snow outside his library window, and I saw a beautiful morning outside of mine, wrote a mocking comment and then drove around the corner to the baker’s, fetching breakfast. Suddenly it occurred to me that it was much […]
Vignette with a dash
Submitted by Photoplus Tutorials Blog
I was sitting down with a Sunday newspaper when I saw a particular effect, which was part vignette, part something else which I could not put my finger on. I thought I would try it and was able to work it out. And improve on it too.
This is the effect […]
