Another day of Govt shutdown only to hear that they are going to patch it for two freakin months! Okay. If I went about patting myself on the back for duct taping a hole in the dike... the hole is still there and the dike is failing around it... I think they would hire another engineer. Yeah train. Its time to hire someone new. Or.. the flip side. Fire these old doddering fools who keep their hand tightly in YOUR pocket. Cant wait to see the freak out when that person who "thinks" ( yeah, not a word they know )... they are getting free healthcare. Hahahahahahahaa... a fool and their money..so that saying goes.....
Enough of that.
I diddled around with the tone mapper keeping in mind that I have to come up with a new "dodge" with the photographs. Tilt shift.. bohec... abstracts only.... out of focus... black and white... grey... moose in every corner... hmmmm
On the "buy" 30 plus shots for a balloon ride thing... sigh... its a tough call since its such a nice shot.
OKay.. so here are the shots... This is day 7.. just a few as I will do more tonight but dont have the time for the whole process now.
And see how the perspective changes with what I have centered and focused... I have to go back a couple of times to find the right.... look. So many files...
Puff... Heavy tone and the edit was a decision depending on the subject.
Vivids. Subject slightly off center that makes you look at the people.
Interesting Traffic. So many choices of subject I didnt pick one which makes the shot confusing.
Spotted. Centered. Background is a bit busy.
Sunny. Nice and warm.
One small step.... to the target.. Also nice.
Over the side. Okay but a little bland. I will go back and get this to pop.
That was fun huh!
Still have not decided on the ride for pics..
Links for you!

The Huuuman... too bad they don't go into how lazy most humans are that they are ignorant until it smacks you in the face. Too late.

How much more can they cement over, under, or around until New Amsterdam is a complete wasteland?

I'm all for green spaces.. on the 1/3 basis... one green space for one suburban and one city space. All the same and all have to be coexistent. Central park is like your armpit.. looks ok but really stinks.
I am also all for picking up your trash, not littering, no tarmac, no cement everywhere. I would like to end with this tonight... How many empty buildings do you have to have before you stop building more buildings?
Sigh.
