Some years these guys show up about now. Not this year, methinks. But they'll surely be here soon.

This building was Dimondale's post office when I moved to the Lansing area. There've been businesses in the building since the PO moved across the river and around the corner. Nowadays it plays weekend host to small groups of crafters.

Photo taken on Valentine's Day in 2019. It was cooler then.

Buds on Beard Tongue

"Husker Red" Penstemon, if you'd prefer. Apparently named by a Nebraska fan.

Once told one of the neighbor kids that I was planting Beard Tongue. He assumed I was joshin' him...

Frankly, the SOOC Sepia version of this photo I posted yesterday is pretty dull. Here are a couple variants.

This version's got--well, let's call 'em My Usual Changes, all made in DxO PhotoLab here but I've been doing this for many years using a surprising variety of tools. I've brightened the pic a bit, adjusted the Black slider a touch, and played some with the Contrast sliders to sharpen the edges.

The result is similar to the Auto Levels control you find in some software, but gives me more detailed control of the process.

These are simple changes, and almost always I touch these controls while post-processing photographs. Regardless, this version's less dull than the Sepia original.

This version of the photo's been processed using one of DxO PhotoLab's Presets. Specifically, this is their Silent Movie preset, which I've brightened a bit but otherwise left untouched. I rather like the result.

Two versions of the same photograph, both Straight Out of the Camera (SOOC).

For the past few weeks I've had my Olympus set up to shoot RAW+JPG. The JPG version's been getting further in-camera processing; it's square, and it's turned to what the software calls "Gentle Sepia." The result's been that I get two very different versions of every photo I take. Thought I'd share a pair, today.

This camera setup actually means I'm shooting the sepia version, as that's what the viewfinder shows me; essentially the RAW photo is an incidental byproduct. Which version I post, it turns out, has been unpredictable--which might be the point of taking two pix with each shutter click.

I'm not really an SOOC shooter, by the way. Almost always my photographs get tweaked ("photoshopped"), though it's unusual for me to do fancy processing. I'll likely talk a bit about that tomorrow.
