Off Roading

I kept it local and chose another spot today on the side of the road. I found some dirt roads that stretched off in a few directions, which led to town power, gas, and water relays. The roads continued, so I walked on and found some amazing places, including a new fork of Wappingers Creek (which abruptly ended my exploration). Another beautiful morning!


My sweetheart donated these awesome gloves, which kept my fingers working in the cold!

Good morning!

TOOLS I've been making good use of the Paint.NET tool for basic photo work and felt like it was time to give it a plug. It is a well made, FREE, open-source tool, and has served me well for the past year. It also has a healthy following of users who create plugins. If interested, download from here -  https://www.getpaint.net/download.html  RAW IMAGE EDITING After a ton of reading, experimentation, and testing ideas from the Paint.Net community, I found a combination of dlls and add-ons that allow editing of Nikon RAW images! Please note that I did not create these solutions and am not responsible for any adverse effects of using them (use them at your own risk), but I've found this combination to consistently work with NEF pictures (Nikon RAW images taken on a D5300). I've created a share of the needed files (which is a compilation of different solutions from multiple Paint.Net forum users). Do give them credit for their work! Download these to the "FileTyp...

Digging Back In

For anyone who may have been checking in over the last several months, I haven't been posting while I gathered up the needed momentum to push this effort forward. I've been searching for ways to make photography less of spectator event and more interactive for the audience. To help ramp up this effort, I started LIVE streaming via Twitch to show the photo editing process using Paint.Net (a FREE photo editing tool) and am looking for additional ways to connect and share experiences with everyone. Tune in and keep watch! Things are about to get busy and I'm excited to press on and share! https://www.twitch.tv/klinnowar Take care! -Nate

Everyone is talking about Photoshop, right? That sounds like the industry standard and the de-facto tool that guarantees success right out of the box. Maybe. Just to be clear, the point of this review is not to bad-mouth Photoshop. It is a powerful tool with a long history of innovation for photo work. Alongside Photoshop, many alternatives, open-source and commercial, have risen in stature and feature-set to openly compete for artists. At the crux of a good photo working application, there are some core things it should have to make it not just useful, but valuable.  Intuitive Design Tools should be foremost functional, which depends heavily upon the ability to effectively use its features. Designs should be built with logical positioning, allowing for optimal use of the space and giving users options to customize the overall layout according to their unique style and workflow. If too much time is required to find features or they are too deeply buried in menus, then it's best to ...
