Yosemite National Park
A few weeks ago I decided to take a random family trip to Yosemite. It’s about 3.5 hours away from where we live. Surprisingly, most people thought Yosemite was a lot farther. While not an insignificant amount of time, it’s well worth the time.

The “Leica” Look and Classic Film Actions With Photoshop
I was trying to give my photos that “Leica” look and was able to find a technique that allows me to do this. You can find this technique in a pretty old article on leica-users.org.
This reminded me of a bunch of Photoshop actions I had discovered a few years back that allows you to mimic different types of film, including Fuji Velvia and Kodak’s now discontinued Kodachrome. For a set of free actions, they’re not too bad. One word of warning, if you’ve got a camera that produces fairly noisy images, the noise may become more pronounced by the actions. Go to Pierre Bize’s Photoshop Actions site to find them.
