Running... Again?

Image
  If you know me you know there was a time about 10 years ago or so where I was running. A lot. At least 5 days a week and at least 5 miles a run. I wasn’t training, I wasn’t preparing for a race or a marathon. I just found myself enjoying the time spent running. I wasn’t obsessed with numbers, but I kept track of them all and liked seeing improvements in time and distances. It was good physical health and mental health. Then I tweaked my knee. Not bad enough that I couldn’t walk on it, just a tweak that told me I needed to back off of running for a little bit. So I decided on 2 weeks. At the end of 2 weeks I aborted a run very early as the pain was still there. 2 weeks became 3, became a month, became 5 years.

The Weekly Photo Project for 2013

Weekly Photo Project 2013
Weekly Photo Project 2013


After a successful 2012 of following a 52 week project over on Google+ I was looking for another to do. I was half expecting The old group I was in to just carry over into 2013, but turns out I was wrong. And, as the saying goes, if you want something done you're better off doing it yourself. For 2013 I will be helping to run a 52 week project over at +Weekly Photo Project 2013 with a couple other great curators; +Andrew Willard and +Tiina Niskanen. This is a great low stress way to shoot throughout the year be it a full sized DSLR, a point and shoot, or your trusty phone. Head on over to the page to check out the details and share with your friends. 

I might be biting off more than I can chew as I will also be doing a black & white 52 week project, +Project 52 B&W. And still posting weekly photos outside of these projects. As for the blog postings I don't expect much to change. I might just make Monday my project posting day, so two photos, and Thursday my other photo of the week. I have hopes of doing other non-photography related posts, but we'll see how it goes. We'll see how this goes!

The Pros and (Mostly) Cons of Upgrading to a 4K Monitor

Image
I'm in the process of getting back into photography which will mean a new camera, more on that in a later post. But the first step for me was a new computer, one with the horsepower to handle a modern day camera and its RAW files. Along with the computer comes a new 4K monitor. 4K is great for media consumption, right? Your characters on your favorite show or movie really look detailed and realistic. Scenery looks wonderful. Everything looks great, right? Wrong. You know what doesn't look great? That photo I took in 2012 that I thought was sharp but is very much not. I transferred over my past catalogs of photos over to Lightroom Classic and eagerly began opening up some of my favorite photos. At first I was happy with how the colors looked and how the scene was composed. Then I noticed it was a little soft. Well I had just gotten a new contacts prescription so that must be it. Changed to my glasses and the photos were even blurrier! I went through photo after photo and most ca...
