What is the resolution of your desktop?  800×600? 1024×768? 1280×1024? 1920×1200?  Or something else?  I am trying to determine in which resolutions to make Dr. Roundbottom desktop images available.

I just finished a new image for an upcoming piece which I believe turned out quite well.  Back to some macro work on that.

I still need to write Monday’s post.  I know what happens. I just haven’t written it out yet in Roundbottom’s style.  And we’re hoping to have the first podcast up as next week’s upload.  I am super pleased with the work Nate, my sound guy, has done on it so far.  I have a script and we will be laying down voice tracks soon.  Yes indeed, you will soon get to hear what Roundbottom and Miss Watkins sound like!

On a less happy note, the readership numbers for Roundbottom have been pretty terrible. I put a tremendous, massive amount of effort into the site and fewer than 100 people are checking it out. I’ll probably keep doing it so long as I find it interesting, but I have no illusions about much of anyone liking the project.  Those of you who do read it, I thank you.

About Me

Hi! My name is Jeremiah Tolbert, but you can call me Jeremy. I am a fantasy and science fiction writer, photographer, and web designer living in Northern Colorado. I am currently starting a new job and cannot take freelance work at this time. Drop me a line if you have any questions or comments. I love hearing from new people and I now have a lot more time to chat.

Frozen Food Center (HDR)

Frozen Food Center (HDR)

A concrete building in Old Town, reminiscent of Soviet Russia. Once a warehouse of sorts, it is now a very badly maintained apartment building, at least from the outside. Hmm, that sky didn't look like that when I was working in photoshop. Single exposure RAW experiment.

Vedawoo Trees

Vedawoo Trees

The trees of Vedawoo are twisted and gnarled by the high winds at that altitude much of the year. Not much grows up here, but what does is very hardy.

Prayer Rock

Prayer Rock

From the right angle, these rocks look like praying hands, and I've always called them Prayer Rock. More haloing than I would like. I should probably process this one again, but I really like the foreground.

Vedawoo Light

Vedawoo Light

The sun was at one of those great angles where everything low was still in the shjade, but the rocks were lit brightly. This is the kind of shooting opportunity that HDR was made for. This is one of my favorites, and is in excellent focus compared to some others. No matter what your shutter speed, you _cannot_ handshoot HDR.

Vedawoo, early dawn II

Another capture of the early dawn in Vedawoo, a rock formation in Wyoming. This reflects the pinkness of the sky very well.

Vedawoo, early dawn

More of the Vedawoo rock formation in Wyoming. This is taken just barely after the sun came up. Everything was covered in frost and snow, resulting in a blue/pink miracle. Less hyper-real, more true to the actual situation. Oddly, a little bit of vignetting in the top left and right, but not elsewhere. I'm not sure how that happened. Actually might be caused by the highlight smoothing, come to think. I've been trying to eliminate the halo effect, which is what I like least in HDR, but it's hard in these landscape shots.

The Vedawoo rock formations in Wyoming at dawn. It's not quite in focus. I need to work on my tripod locking. The blur I think comes from alignment issues.

Trying to bring back the effect a bit. Was too much in the old version.
