Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
I was pretty much in a hurry in the morning. When I left work late in the afternoon, we had traces of sunshine mixed with some raindrops, and halfway that turned into a constant drizzle. Oh well, it IS worse north of the alps.

Sharing is Good
Submitted by Craig Photography Blog
Destination Guide Atlantic City published one of my vacation photos (SEE HERE). This is why I love Creative Commons. Family vacation photos turn into marketing and advertising.
~Sharing is good.

989 - One More Time
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
I could have gone out today, really, but instead I preferred sleeping on the balcony. Nice Sunday activity, I tell you
Well, you and I have not missed anything. Weather was a mixture of dense, dark clouds, dense dark clouds with rain and not so dark [...]
988 - Standing On Old Grounds
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Today the mixed weather continued, but I really can’t complain. Although we had our more than fair share of rain, there are no floodwaters in Carinthia, while the rest of Austria suffers badly. Some towns and villages north of the Alps and in the east of Austria [...]
987 - It’s A Green Dream II
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Weather is changing rapidly at the moment. I used a short period of sunshine, to go swimming and make some images. This is another experiment with the new plugins: Topaz Adjust and Snap Art. It is clear now that I will buy both. I still have to [...]
986 - A Little Piece Of Advice
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
This is a little piece of much too late advice for all those who began SoFoBoMo 09 and finally decided to give up on it.
Let me first make one thing very clear: whatever your reasons are, they are respectable, and as in starting such a project, the [...]

Music

Wednesday evening I watched The Music Instinct: Science and Song. Next week I will watch The Musical Mind hosted by Oliver Sacks. The effect that music has on man is a wondrous marvel. I have read numerous books on the subject asking myself, why seek an answer when the [...]
“Real Photography”
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
I had an interesting encounter with another photographer yesterday. I was wandering around the Frog Level district of Waynesville with my little Canon A2000, when I walked into a second hand/antique store. I was greeted by a man wearing dark sunglasses. He spied the camera in my hand and asked, “Taking [...]
Unphotographable
Submitted by Howard Grill Blog
We have all had occasions when we see what would make a great image but, unfortunately, don’t have a camera. An image lost forever……but is it??
Michael David Murphy doesn’t think so. In fact, he has his own website devoted to images that he experienced but did not have the opportunity to [...]

Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
I’m in Carinthia, it mostly stopped raining sometime in the afternoon, but I still had not the least inclination to leave home.
Instead I have worked on this forest image of Sunday. I have used it to try out another one of those plugins Ted recently mentioned. [...]

Posers
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
I found this “statue” in downtown Asheville. He remains completely motionless until you drop some money into his bucket. Then he plays a short song on his guitar for you. He was making almost as much money from tourists wanting to take a picture with him as he was from playing [...]
Rant
Submitted by Craig Photography Blog
Things that have been on my nerves lately- Socialism…I am so tired of hearing everybody talk about the fear of being ruled by a socialist government. The bulk of our tax dollars are spent on defense…defense of keeping society safe. I like being safe. I like that I never had [...]

High Pass Filtration

I usually don’t post information about Photoshop techniques simply because there is an entire universe of websites dedicated to Photoshop that are run by folks who are far more Photoshop savvy than I could ever hope to be. However, every so often I run across a technique that I find really [...]
Tarot Card Reader
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
Downtown Asheville is a people watcher’s paradise. I spent a short time there Saturday evening, but I wish I could have stayed longer. So many characters, so much potential for street photography, so little time. This tarot card reader had set up shop in the doorway of women’s clothing that had [...]

Mountain Rhododendron
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
With all the rain we’ve been getting this year, all of the mountain wildflowers are flourishing like we haven’t seen in several years. The drought has been declared officially over and the mountain rhododendron appear to be celebrating. I found this bush near the viewing area for Devil’s Courthouse on the [...]
