Six Pixels

Jefferson Memorial

2006-04-05T10:57:00.000-05:00

My intent is not to get too touristy, although DC tends to do that to you. The focus is still photography.

My valiant attempt at street photography.

Cherry Blossoms

2006-04-03T09:26:00.000-05:00

It's that time of the year again ... cherry blossoms are here. This is the first of the series that I hope to post ... it's just the beginning people! :) I did take another picture, without the photographer, but I think this one has more character.

Circle Towers

2006-03-31T08:13:00.000-05:00

I wanted to try out the long exposure on my camera, and this is a 15-sec exposure. I didn't expect the trees in the background to be so illuminated. I kind of like all the green in the picture.

Lincoln Memorial

2006-03-30T09:14:00.000-05:00

Another one from my DC day trip.

Wooden Sticks

2006-03-29T07:50:00.000-05:00

From the same series as this one.

Dangle

2006-03-28T08:00:00.000-05:00

On a very different note ...

Washington Monument

2006-03-24T08:02:00.000-05:00

From the same series like this one.

Taken at the same place as this.

Post Processing Note: A very small amount of photoshop has been used on this picture, to get some of the dirt off the floor.

The Buchanan

2006-03-14T08:07:00.000-05:00

Nothing too mental here, no hidden meanings. :) My sepia pictures were coming out blurred, so I tried a higher ISO on this one, and that kind of fixed it. I like how the extra noise from the higher ISO mystifies the picture.

2006-03-13T09:40:00.000-05:00

I must confess, that I found a lot more meaning in this photograph after taking it. Would like to hear first from you guys though.

2006-03-12T01:09:00.000-05:00

So I think I am going to stick with not putting a title on the pictures. I do realize that some pictures like this one are pretty easy to decipher. However, I still couldn't help but explicitly convey my thoughts about the picture, so I have added an alt tag to the image.

I am going to leave this one untitled. I have been debating whether I should put titles on the photographs. Should photographs have any sort of explanation (even if it's a title), or should one just let the person viewing the photograph decide? Would like to hear from you guys about the photograph and this issue.

Post processing policy

2006-03-09T20:46:00.000-05:00

I know this is a highly debatable topic, so I am not going to get into whether it's right or wrong. I wanted to take time to mention the level of post-processing that is done on the pictures that I post (the duality of the word 'post' just entered my conscious level). Essentially most of the pictures that I post and will post in the future will probably go through one or more of the following:

* Cropping - for a better composition
* Tilting - just to get it straight

Yes, that's it ... for now. I have not become adept at using photoshop as yet; at least not enough to let it reflect exactly what's going on in this brain of mine. But if I do feel that that photoshop can be used to make a picture more artistic, then what the heck... I just might indulge in it. Will keep you guys posted on that.

I have used a slight amount of cloning on one picture that I haven't put up as yet. Just removed some dirt off the floor. It didn't change the essensce of the picture, so I think it should be fine.

As a general policy I will try and mention which pictures have had post processing over and above the two mentioned above. Please condone any inadvertent slip-ups.

And in case you haven't had enough of the word post ... here goes ... post ... post ... post ... post ... post ... post ... post ... post ... post ... post ... post ... post ... ok! I will stop now.
