WPC – Pub Inner Geek Solitude – Photography

02/06/2017

‘Yes they’re sharing a drink they call “Loneliness”
But it’s better than drinking alone’, Billy Joel – Piano Man

Loneliness isn’t really the same as solitude, although the two often go together.  But that’s not what this post is about.  It’s about the inner geek in people (well in me – not sure that qualifies as people).  On my phone I have a camera app that allows manual control (ISO, aperture, shutter speed, etc.) of the phone camera including saving the image as a RAW file (DNG).  See what I mean by inner geek?

While waiting for the food during our weekly dinner visit to the neighborhood bar (pub sounds so much better), I decided to try the new camera app.  With some post processing, here’s the result of that inner geek solitude.  And yes, Piano Man is on the jukebox.

WPC – Repurposed Photo – Photography

01/31/2017

I gave this photo a title, “Rings Of Saturn”, and repurposed it in the amateur abstract category of the 2016 Monochrome Awards competition.   The very generous judges gave it an honorable mention.  So I’ve repurposed it one more time here.
