Looking at one photograph at a time
Ella, San Clemente CA copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale Over the weekend I was "commissioned" to photograph my daughter's family for this year's Christmas card. While I was adjusting the camera position and ambient lighting Ella volunteered to be my test subject while I was tweaking the exposure settings. At first she was all about acting out...

#28 No Memory (Pods) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale I had mentioned in an earlier post today that when I converted my color photographs (RGB) in Photoshop to a Grayscale (Black & White) image that I first had to flatten the layers of the color image.

#55 Ghost Pods copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale This summer I have been continuing to explore the possibilities of my Memory Pods project that I initiated last May. The camera-phone in conjunction with the Snapseed App offered one alternative view point while the full frame digital offered a different, with the resulting collection of images looking...

Which has resulted in some darker photographs, which is another new... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Traffic Signal) Copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale While I was off on my temporary tangent working on the Memory pods project, one of the items I photographed was this traffic signal control box. At the moment I made this composition I was thinking about the association of something that attempted to control signals (memories) being... Continue Reading →
Untitled (HDR Memory pods #03 and #04) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale Always interesting as to the response I receive for the photographs I post. Just about every photograph that I post here on the blog, I usually post on my Facebook page. That's mostly a self promotion thing, right? Nevertheless, I do gets some pokes... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Grunge Memory pods versions #01 & #02) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale After discussing the Snapsneed app and the HDR mode yesterday, thought I should come clean with my messing around with the Snapsneed Grunge mode. This is a slightly different subject from my Memory pods series. While working with my other images in the... Continue Reading →
Untitled (HDR Memory pods #01 and #02) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale These are a par of HDR manipulated photographs that were fun to play with. The straight version is similar to Memory pods #37 that I posted here early in the week. I was aware of the Snapseed HDR mode, poked at it earlier and... Continue Reading →
