Today we went to West End!
--

Today I awoke to a dreary overcast day, perfect of the universe to give me an overcast day on the only day in a few months that I've even had to go photographhin', but we work with what we're given. The journey is the destination and all that.

So here are some buildings and the scenery in the main part of West End in Winston Salem, NC. Not a terrible ton of fodder out there, but enough to fill the till for the day and get me out and about for a while.

After this I went and had some dipping tacos at a legit Mexican place and got mom a taco salad to take back home with me. I didn't feel much like stopping too many places.

The workflow has evolved. I now have neat little imagemagick scripts. How quaint! After I edit with , I run my scripts to downsample my images to the size I like at the quality I like for my server.

As-is, my photos tend to overexpose, but I can always wrench them back on the editor. The camera says my brightness is perfect, but it always looks too washed out to me on the editor. I would trust the .jpeg files from the camera as-is if this wasn't the case, though I did do some cropping on two of these.


A rickety old bridge I found in the dark and dismal park. See? Dark and dismal can be okay too. Not everything needs sunshine.

While we're being dreary, we might as well look at some roots of the creek that runs through here.

A Blue/Brown contrast I really liked that I was playing with, there's another set of buildings that look similar to this one, like they traded paint... but the other building is one street away.

    Pilot Mountain - The Failed 2nd Coming
    --

    One of my first ever big expeditions with a Camera was, against all good reason, was to climb the 3-4 miles to the top of Pilot Mountain - after working 10 hours that day.

    Thursday, I had it in mind to come back to the mountain with fresh eyes and some experience.

    Well... ehhh, I also didn't plan the timing of the day very well, as, as you can see, I don't have an actual photo of the mountain.

    "Firekeeper, why do you not have pretty picture of Mountain?"

    BECAUSE THE SUN WAS BEHIND IT!

    Ughh, Charlie Brown. Well, I suppose my next visit to this splendiferous Mountain will be had at 7:00pm rather than 7:00am next round, but nonetheless, I did walk the top and grab shots as I went, and made the most of the morning mist down below, or as much as I could of it.

    I took WAY more photos than I thought I did Thursday so these first four will be the first of eight to twelve from that trip. Right now, 8 seems more definite, so here's the first 4 that I've edited thus far.

    Some ominous looking steps up to the crown of the mountain.
