I try to write a journal every 1000 views. Been tardy on this one. I've been able to take a lot of pix so far this summer, but I made what, for me, is kind of a sad discovery a couple of weeks ago: I think I've outgrown my trusty Nikon D90. It just doesn't have the resolution that I've come to want and expect. I stumbled on this a few weeks ago while visiting my son in St. Louis, Missouri. Rather than haul tons of photo equipment with me, I picked up a cheap Nikon point and shoot. While it doesn't have any of the versatility that the D90 has, it has a higher resolution and I could tell the different in post production. With the D90 I have to sharpen most images. That wasn't necessary with the S7000. If you check out the flamingo pic on my page you can see that the image is quite good. So now I'm thinking of upgrading to a Nikon D7200. (Oh sure! I'd rather get a pro level camera, but that's not in the budget right now.) What I've read about this camera looks good. Anyone with any info about this beast please feel free to pass it on.
AI
Just wonder what people think about AI images. I downloaded an AI art creation app the other day and, without having to pay a nickle, created an image far better I could ever do on my own. So, is this cheating? Is this the future? Thoughts?
Devious Journal Entry
This isn't as much a journal as a question. I seem to have lost the ability to go to the next page in Eclipse. My Next/Previous buttons have disappeared. This isn't a problem with with the old dA version. I know dA has made a lot of format changes recently so I'm wondering if I just haven't figured out how to advance pages or whether something's broken. I've sent notes to dA a couple of times but have gotten no response. I'm assuming that, like many, the folks at dA are working offsite and may not be getting to things as soon as they otherwise might. Thoughts?
Been A While
So I see it's been almost a year and a half since I've updated this journal. Haven't been quite as active as I once was. I've been sort of bemused by the roll out of ECLIPSE. As a beta tester I've been able to see the development of the new DA version. I must say it's come a long way from when it first was introduced when, as far as I was concerned it was pretty much unusable.
The most important part of DA for me is looking at other peoples' art work. Still is. I am far less interesting in the web page design aspects of the site. This may be a generational thing. I'm not going to take a lot of time to figure out the minute details of
Devious Journal Entry
I'm so bad at updating these. But, after 11 years on dA, I hit 30,000 page views. Thanks to everyone who's watching me and to all those who drop in for a visit. I have certainly learned a lot about art during the past decade. There are areas of digital art that I had no idea existed, for example raw fractals. I have been amazed, especially recently, at how skilled some people are with this art form. As I've mentioned before, I joined dA to be an observer with no thoughts of posting my own work. It didn't take long for that to seem a bit odd, not to mention more than a little timid. I came to the conclusion that, if I was going to m
