David Gray Photography

Another Mt. Pilatus shot. This time I decided a black and white shot would look better, as the blue haze in the distance made editing this nearly impossible.

We're coming up to the 1 year anniversary of our trip to the UK to see Oasis / do a European tour. I want to travel again, but this pesky thing called "money" keeps standing in the way, so if you'd like to donate to the "let David just roam the country / the earth for ages" fund, hit me up.

Since August last year, I've posted 18 photos (including this one). That's the most photography I've posted since 2018.

Part of it has been having European photos to edit, as that whole region is just so photogenic, part of it has been having a new PC that can just edit photos without hesitation, and part of it is just a very slow easing up of the intense burnout I felt after doing the 365 challenge back in 2015. I'm still not 100% back, but hey, I've posted 18 photos since August, so I think I'm doing alright!

Anyway, this photo was taken in Florence. I was wandering down some side streets when I saw these two women walking off in the distance. The street might seem empty, but there I managed to catch a lucky break, as just a few seconds later, some people wandered past me, and came walking down the other end of the street.

I also just recently reinstalled Photomatix on my new computer. Lightroom's HDR is okay, sorta, but Photomatix has SO much more in terms of settings you can futz with. It's good to have it back!
