Screaming Monkey Research Laboratories

Working on a couple of photo books. Whichever one I get enough photos for I’ll have www.blurb.comprint.

One from TRNP last year. (A little warmer than the winter shot below.)

From last winter.

I’m playing with the blurb software (www.blurb.com) which means I need some images. (Like at least 20-40 of them or the book will be thin.) Going through the archives looking for suitable pictures. I’ve been going through a set of flower photos from Flandrau State Park. This one is kind of nice. I don’t know if it will make the cut but I like it enough to post here.

Wild River. There is a very nice prairie there. Just wide open and peaceful. (Supposedly there was a bear near there but I didn’t see it.)

Anywho, this is a split tone. Hard to tell. It gives the feel of, I think, a type for Agfa film I used to use on occassion. Not sure which. (Been a long time.) Maybe Ultracolor or something like that. I just recall it being unnatural.

The Tamron 17-50 f2.8 arrived. I now have a serious need to sell a bunch of stuff on ebay.

Obligatory new lens cat photo.

A small part of a much larger image. I wish I’d seen it then. I know how I would have framed it. This doesn’t work. But I know how it could have. Very irritating.

This is from about a year ago. I have it on my wall to see what I think of it. I’m kind of liking it. (I’ve made one crop to the one on the wall so far.)

Very nice lens. I might have to buy one.

It isn’t this clean right now.

More ACR and CS3 testing.
