The Basalt Columns of the Giants Causeway

Good times with my wife along the Antrim coast of Northern Ireland.

We spent a few weeks in her homeland late last year and had a chance to explore all over the country. If you ever get the chance to visit, do so and treat yourself. You won't regret it.

Let's go exploring, international edition.

Today I was at a choir party and I sometimes get overwhelmed with so many people in the house. So does my little friend Marion, who is five. So Marion and I decided to hang out in a little room and draw and she made this sign for the door.

I wish Armin was just a little more selfish, that he would've manipulated Eren into staying with them. If anyone could've done it, it was Armin, with the hold he has over Eren (E cares for Mika too of course, but their desires don't align in the same way as E&A)

I know it makes no sense for the story, but I can't help but think of happier alternative...though I don't know if Eren could ever find "freedom", I don't think it's in his disposition. I think he's oriented to always be seeking

There was the kind of big, empty silence made by an environment that not only doesn't have any people in it, but doesn't need them either.

Post Processing Software Really is Something Else These Days

So this is a single frame from a shoot out under the stars in the California desert a couple months back.

It is shot at ISO 3200, 20 seconds at f/2.8.

It was a throw away frame from a set I was shooting to stack in Sequator. It's a throw away because a car way off in the distance behind me turned it's headlights on and sat there for a while. This flooded my foreground with a level of sidelight and contrast that I just didn't want for my image. Because of this I decided to omit it from my stack, and instead process it as a lone image to see how good Adobe's new de-noise option is (inside Lightroom and CameraRAW).

The short version is that it's pretty darn good.

It was 100 ° at 11 o'clock at night, and this shot is 50-something in on a series of 20 second exposures at ISO 3200. This means my sensor was likely VERY warm, and as such would have flooded the image with noise and hot pixels.

Adobe's de-noise software really does seem to work like a charm and took care of a ton of the noise without destroying the details in the foreground and (more importantly for me) the sky.

'Nuff said.

Let's go exploring.
