Well it is the beginning of the new year, so it’s time to look back at the previous year and pick out my favourite or top ten pictures of the year. I was planning to do something a little different and go through each selected image individually to provide comments, but… nah. I’m not one for words.

Spent the week of Christmas in Penang. Lots of fun for Helena, though we had some bad news waiting when we got back to KL. That might be something for another post though…. … and a Happy New Year! I dug out a couple of previous photos and ran them through Adjust and Detail: Depending on personal opinion, some of these could be considered overdone, but that’s part of my intention: to see how far I can push these two plug-ins and still get a reasonably “acceptable” result. New toy for the pool! More experimentation. Again, full resolution image tweaked with Adjust, and then used Detail for sharpening instead of the usual websize sharpening routine. The first two are beyond 1:1 on the 7D, taken with the Canon 100L macro with a stack of extension tubes totaling 68mm and a Canon 1.4x extender. The rest are 1:1. I am testing out Topaz Lab’s two plug-ins, Adjust and Detail. Tweaked the full resolution image in Adjust. After resizing for web, run it through Detail instead of just sharpening. I’m not fully convinced yet. They’re both on a 30-day trial period, so I’ll have some time to play around further and evaluate. Finally we’re getting somewhere — even had a butterfly stop by for a snapshot. Lots of heavy rainfall, flu season, Helena falling sick, and lots of other stuff going on makes this week highly unproductive for photography. Whee! Duck Song book has arrived…. |
