Jeremy > January 31, 2009; Day 274. On the Lamb. Peter and I cashed in one of our Christmas gifts tonight…dinner for two at the Cornerview restaurant in Concord. He had the lamb shank and I had the leg of lamb. Yum. The Cornerview does not add butter to their vegetables but they make up for it by buttering their rolls and serving them with butter. I joined Facebook yesterday and was surprised to find that I was one of the last of my family (cousins too) to join. I used to know what was hot! I had the first Commodore 128 on my block!

Raw: Color Temperature: 2850K; Tint: 0 Raw: Exposure: +0.3 Raw: Recovery: +100 Raw: Saturation: +8 PS: Lab a channel adjustment: “Soft light” at 50% opacity PS: Smart Sharpening: 180-1-Lens Blur
Jeremy > January 4, 2009; Day 247. Red Coat. Peter and I ventured to the public lands near Garvin’s Falls dam in Concord today to break-in our snow shoes for another season. There is a old rail bed that runs along the Merrimack River at this location. I wanted to reach the point where it once crossed over the river, but we didn’t realize just how long a trek that would be, so we abandoned the project in favor of lunch in a warm restaurant. We decided that we would return in the summer to bike the trail to see just how much longer it would have taken us to get there. Here I am trying out the new “pastel” Photoshop action which uses the channel mixer. I like what it did here, subduing the colors to give it a more chilling effect, as well as blowing out all but the trail detail of the snow. The Lab adjustment was needed to retain a little more red in Peter’s coat; it didn’t change anything else in this image.

Jeremy > August 28, 2008; Day 118. Amid all the historic significance of the day, Peter celebrated his birthday. I treated him to supper at 55 Degrees, one of the nicer restaurants in Concord. I think he’d have found it an even bigger treat if I had left the camera at home. But he acquiesced to this shot and I thank him for it, for it turned out really nice even though it came out of the camera really dark. I love how much detail you can find in the shadows if you’re willing to dig. Peter enjoyed baked haddock on a bed of green beans and broccoli; I had a beef tenderloin on potatoes. A very good meal. Dinner at 55 Degrees is a two-hour affair, so I didn’t do a training ride today. Raw: Exposure: +3.0 PS: Curves adjustment for a little more exposure increase PS: Desaturate PS: Color Balance: -100 Yellow to Blue, -39 Magenta to Green PS: Unsharp Mask: 20-30-0
Jeremy > July 31, 2008; Day 90. Blueberry season has returned to New Hampshire. Peter and I biked to Rossview Farm in Concord today, skipping our original plan to kayak on Newfound Lake (thunderstorms in the forecast). The rain never materialized, but now we have the key ingredient for blueberry crunch, one of our favorite desserts. As you can tell, Peter did most of the picking while I was searching for art. Rossview Farm uses the honor system when it comes time to cash out your blueberry purchase. However, the sight of my camera and lens bag brought the owners out. Peter thinks that I look like a reporter when I’ve got all my gear strapped on. They were fine, just curious what I was up to. PS: Crop: ~30 percent PS: Shadows: 50 percent; Highlights: 15 percent PS: Curves to restore some contrast after the shadow/highlight adjustment PS: Unsharp Mask: 20-30-0
Jeremy > July 28, 2008; Day 87. Relaxing the day after the fundraiser. Peter loves to jump in the water, and I love to photograph. It was a great day for both. While exploring Odiorne Point, we saw the same ship on which we held our fundraiser heading out to the Isles of Shoals. It was great to capture this view of it. This has been the only time so far this weekend I wished I had my 300mm lens with me. This evening we went back to Portsmouth to enjoy what we call “Post-cruise bingo.” I have been the caller for this mini-event for years. Here, Brian Dustin has won the grand prize “coverall.” I am verifying that he was indeed the winner. Raw: Color Temperature: 4800K Raw: Clarity: +100 Raw: Vibrance: +10 Raw: Saturation: +50
Jeremy > June 8, 2008; Day 37. Peter came over to push me into the gym so that I continue to burn away some of my winter fat. It was a brutally hot day in New Hampshire (96 degrees) so afterwards, we arranged the chairs so that my sole window A/C could wash over us. Peter thought he'd read the paper but decided to doze instead. It is a really comfy chair. Yeah, that's a hot window. The graduated ND filter would not have helped, and an HDR would have revealed a lot of diffused light coming through blinds. Sometimes you have to live with life's compositional hurdles. No post processing...JPEG from camera.
Jeremy > June 1, 2008; Day 30. Peter and I enjoyed a beautiful late Spring day by taking a short bike ride through a neighboring town. I quickly metered with the camera to my eye (that’s as close to living on the edge as I get), then let it hang as it fired away. I like the angle of the horizon and the motion implied by the road. I’ll be doing much more biking starting now…I’m planning to ride my first century (124 miles, actually) in September. No post processing…JPEG from camera.
Jeremy > May 18, 2008; Day 16. Peter and I visited a new friend today. Charles LaFond has been a master potter for 25 years and now resides fairly close to us. Here he's guiding Peter through his first pull. The wheel throws a lot of clay and water around, hence the splatter. Another image from today's shoot was submitted in my Art of Composition class. Raw: WB to 4150K PS: Color Balance: +10 Yellow to Blue PS: Saturation: +10 PS: Unsharp Mask: 20-30-0
Jeremy > May 4, 2008; Day 2. This is Peter and Molly, my favorite weekend guests. Molly is a pug with a swollen fold of skin between her eye and nose, so she is being cleaned and checked for ticks. He took her to the vet today who said she had a bacterial skin condition. She puts on a proud face despite the prognosis. This shot is in a group of shots I took for an online photography class on composition. In week 1, we’re learning how to fill the frame.
January 31, 2009; Day 274.

On the Lamb.

Peter and I cashed in one of our Christmas gifts tonight…dinner for two at the Cornerview restaurant in Concord. He had the lamb shank and I had the leg of lamb. Yum. The Cornerview does not add butter to their vegetables but they make up for it by buttering their rolls and serving them with butter.

I joined Facebook yesterday and was surprised to find that I was one of the last of my family (cousins too) to join. I used to know what was hot! I had the first Commodore 128 on my block!
