As indicated in Dean's post I suspect that the majority of us in the US are going through some pretty bleak weather conditions.
With 2026 on our doorstep I feel the obvious choice for our next challenge is something NEW.
I hate the term "fine art" but I don't know what else exactly to call these besides just black and white.
All these are from my camera that I can make phone calls and search the Internet.
These are, again, multiple misaligned exposures merged in Photoshop. In both cases, the dramatic sundown sky was photographed through tree branches.
For the past couple months I have been investigating the app "Analog Photography Assistant" with emphasis on Light Meter, Reciprocity and B+W Preview.
Just to let folks know that I have added a second blog entry after performing some pretty intense testing on the Bluristic iPhone app.
