On a Sepia Roll, with Grain!

Between my 365project and Happenstance, it seems that I've been posting a lot of Sepia toned, B&W images lately.  Often with added grain to replicate my old film days (shooting Tri-X, often with notable darkroom zooming).

A few examples, for your enjoyment (I hope!).

What I Did 130

Last week I posted a "What Would You Do?" challenge.  Here's what I did with the subject image:

I also posted this version over at my 365project.  

What Would You Do? WWYD130

Full Size Version Here

Many of you (some of you?) know that I started the year joining a picture-a-day project over at 365progect.org.  I'm nearing 1/2 way through, and still enjoying it.  One of the nice things about these things is being part of a community ('though just virtually) and doing challenges.  I know I've posted several examples of the Album Cover Challenges.  Another is the WWYD (What You You Do) challenge.  Someone posts an image, folks take their shot at post-processing, and the the people vote.  And the winner gets to post the next image.  Well, on the most recent challenge (WWYD129), my entry was a finalist, and was leading in the voting.  Until a late surge resulted in a tie, and an (ongoing) run-off.

Anyway, if I win, the image above is the one I'll use for WWYD130.  This is Straight from my iPhone.  If I don't win (which is likely), I'll tackle it myself, and see what I can make of it.

ANYWAY, I thought I'd post it here, just for giggles.  And if anybody out there in blog land wants to take a swing at it, I' love to see what you can do.

We're On A Road To Nowhere

Well we know where we're goin',  But we don't know where we've been  And we know what we're knowin',  But we can't say what we've seen  And we're not little children,  And we know what we want  And the future is certain,  Give us time to work it out

Ducks On A Log.

More frightening than Snakes On A Plane?  I don't think so.  But I count a dozen ducks on thos log, including the one standing.  Watershed Nature Center this afternoon.

Reeds, Reflections

Just a little something, one of the first shots with my brand new compact digital.  I think I'm going to like it!

There's another interpretation of the reflections over at 365project.
