The July/August issue of Garden&Gun magazine is out with a six page spread of some of my Cedar Key WaterWomen photographs. [The cover photo is NOT mine]


The original photos were shot on black & white negative film. For this printing I ftped the images files to them. This is only the second time that I have had photos published that were thus transmitted. I think it is an extremely nifty process.
I imagine you can find the magazine only in the southern US. Around here it is available at Borders and Barnes & Noble.

If you would like to see all the images full size,take a look at the WaterWomen portfolio on my web site.

I have the feeling I might be the last one to know about HDR tone mapping. I discovered Dynamic Photo HDR a couple of days ago. While I have not used it the way it is intended to be used, that is by combining/mapping several digital photos of the same subject taken at different exposures, I have used it to ‘do’ my ‘raw’ black and white Holga negatives.
To me the results look like a cross between a wet plate print and a daguerreotype. Interesting to say the least.
Since I am using their free trial version, here are two images with watermarks. I have not done anything to them except run them through the automatic ‘Pseudo HDR tone-mapping’ process.
Warts and all, here they are:
