Cup of soup
Stopped in a local restaurant for a cup of soup. Sat at the counter as I like to do in restaurants. Met Dennis Frehard Johnson, 84, cancer survivor.
"Went by Dennis but it's a common name so then I was Dennis F for years." "Then a Dennis F made the papers for a DUI and I've been Frehard ever since."
Frehard told his wife he was going for a walk and ducked in for soup. All the waitresses smiled and talked to him...a lot. He's done this before I bet. We agreed that the soup was good and that it matters little why the young women smile at you...just that they do is good enough.
Buon Opportuno Frehard.
Image taken with iPhone 4.1's new HDR feature. There's a slight ghosting in the background but it added brightness to his face. I like this feature.

Tri-X. Remember me?
This was an interesting exercise (for me). These 2 images are Tri-X, ASA 400, Hassaelblad xPan.
The images were scanned at 3340 x 8150 (tall image) and 5035 x 3340. Yup. That's correct. 27 megapixels and 17 megapixels (lots of information on film). I processed the images in Aperture: levels, contrast, mid-contrast, USM. I also sent un manipulated images to my iPad and processed them in Photoforge, slight S curve, USM and added a dark vignette border in Photogene. They look pretty similar on my screens.
Of course I did downsize the images.

A trail from my neighborhood
starting behind City Hall it runs a couple miles through the woods and to the ocean, (Puget Sound). It's a favorite.
6 iPhone images combined in Autostitch. Panoramics are a fun exercise but not very practical. This image if printed at 8" tall comes out to be about 3 feet long. Also, the beach really isn't "V" shaped. I like the image though, it captures the mood of the day.

bottom and right of center is the top of my grand daughter's hat. Left in the image purposely.
One neat thing about the cooler weather
My grand daughters and I get to wear these funky hats again.
