Week 42: Sunday, October 17th, 2010

This week's shot is from the Sleepless Goat. The Goat is a workers co-op based in Kingston that is a staple for almost all the grad students here, and provides a welcome change from Starbucks and other major coffee chains. They have a number of interesting menu items, including vegan options, and some of the most delicious desserts I've ever had (with the exception of Oh So Good in Ottawa). They also have a great selection of teas for those who don't like coffee.

Anyhow. The Goat has a great vibe to it, and a lot of funny little things that make it worth going back to. This picture is from their display of cinnamon buns on Saturday night.

Disclaimer: I am not being reimbursed from the Goat for this endorsement. But if someone were to give me a free cookie next time I'm there, that'd be cool.

Week 12: Sunday March 21st, 2010

This week's picture has no changes to it from the original picture - no changes in Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop, nothing. I usually underexpose my pictures slightly (you know that little EV setting on your camera? I set than to about -2/3). Two reasons for this: 1) it is easier to increase exposure in post-processing than decrease it, and 2) it means the photos can be quicker (as it needs less time to let the light in). When I'm doing indoor/night shots, it is the difference between a crisp shot, and one that looks like it was taken through the bottom of a dirty glass.

Anyhow. Here is this week's shot:


As always, I welcome your comments :)
