Home Renovation Project: Bedroom Three.

Little Planet view of my third bedroom after renovation. Prior to this the room was only used for storage. The first view was created using 25 images taken in 15 degree intervals using a Nikon D810a camera and 14-24 mm f/2.8 lens (ISO 200, 14 mm, f/8, 1/50 sec) with a flash pointing backwards. The second view was created using 70 images taken in 5 degree intervals using a Fuji X-T1 camera and 16 mm f/1.4 lens (ISO 800, 16 mm, f/11, 1/15 sec) no flash. The raw images were processed with Capture One Pro, and the Little Planet view created using AutoPano Giga Pro. If you look closely, the second one includes a selfie.

Ten-Years Ago (14-January-2007) — New Jersey

Backyard Winter (Loss of Nature) in New Jersey.

Some Cat’s (and a John Deere) parked in the mud on a misty winter day. There used to be trees here, soon to become a housing tract. Image taken with a Nikon D2xs camera and a new 12-24 mm f/4 DX lens (ISO 100, 24 mm, f/4, 1/200 sec).

Six-Years Ago (13-January-2011) — Chile

Gone to See Patagonia 2010/2011. Photography Workshop with Thom Hogan. Day 18: Puerto Natales, Chile. Hostage Day 2.

Tangled web of power, phone, and cable lines shot from my hotel window. This was the 2nd day we were held and not allowed to leave Puerto Natales. We were the luck ones that found a hotel where we could stay. There were nearly 1000 others that were staying in an elementary school that was converted into a Red Cross shelter, or just living rough in the open. In addition there were several thousand more stranded in Torres del Paine National Park (Parque Nacional Torres del Paine). At this point, I needed to see a doctor for a bad cough that turned into walking pneumonia, but there wasn’t a doctor or pharmacy available. Also, the US State Department didn’t really believe that we were being held against our will — all having to do with issues of fuel subsidies provided by the central government to the residents of southern Chile. The new President canceled the subsidies, and southern Chile went on strike and wouldn’t let the tourists (one of their main sources of income) leave… Image taken with a Leica D-Lux 5 camera (ISO 80, 19 mm, f/4, 1/640 sec).
