Frozen Expedition

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I was thinking the other day as I drove past the frozen Scioto River downtown that I should go out and get some photos of it before it got warm enough to not be frozen. It has been more than a week without temps getting much above 20F and today was no exception, but we braved the elements and headed down to North Bank Park to get some photos. Unfortunately, we could only stand to be out taking pics for 15 minutes!

However, I did get a handful of decent shots, and with the dominance of white in all the photos I even got to practice some color enhancement, a new filtered B&W script, and some other tricks using GimpShop! I think they turned out pretty well.

    I certainly realize that most of you do not have the time to browse through the whole collection of photos that I’ve posted from the trip to Ireland and Scotland, and that I’m reserving the right to add some more to it later, so I’m just going to list the 8 sets that make up…

    Yeah, I installed Max this evening. This is Microsoft’s new photo-sharing tool. At this point the only real advantage to this as opposed to just having a Flickr list and sharing it with people is the ability to do a couple of funky things with displaying photos as they would look framed on a mantle,…

  • All over the Schmap

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Apparently, going places that are a bit off the beaten path pays off when the folks from Schmap go looking for photos to illustrate their travel guides. My photos are now displayed in the Schmaps for Chattanooga, and Richmond. It’s pretty cool to see my photos, as well as what other photos folks took of…

    So I got the film pics from Chicago back, and since Angela was working late last night, I “borrowed” her PC and scanner to get the chosen ones scanned so I could put together a web-album type thingy using them, along with a few from the digital camera. Unfortunately, our internet connection was down most…
