What's New : I am updating my equipment this summer (2008). See the captions associated with the individual photos for info on the software and or equpment used. New Cameras used: Nikon D300, Sigma SD14. Also retaining Sony R1 and DSC-F717 for now. I have also purchased Nikon Capture NX2 software, since it is the only program that can read the D300 settings saved with the NEF files produced by the camera. Until it arrives, jpegs from the camera are better than what Adobe Camera Raw can give me. The same appears to be the case with the Sigma Raw software.

Stereographs & 3D images : If you have a pair of viewing lenses, like those available from http://www.3dstereo.com/viewmaster/tig.html you can view these images here. Order 5x7 prints 'uncropped' to get cards. A more formal Holme's type StereoScope can be found at the first site above. All are rather inexpensive.

DigiPainting : There are numerous filters and 'actions' that can be applied to digital photos in most Painting & Photo programs. I like the direct simplicity of Fantastic Machines Paint Engine, which uses the underlying image data to produce watercolor, pastel, or oil paint touches to a photo. All images in this gallery are based on one of my 'real world' photographs.
