Cloudy Day along the Cinque Terre Coastline

Cloudy Cinque Terre Coastline

Here’s a shot I took from high above the coastline in the Cinque Terre region of northwestern Italy.  This is from just outside Riomaggiore, looking up the coast toward the other villages of the Cinque Terre.   From lower right to upper left, this is: 1.  The Via dell’Amore, a flat winding foot trail that … Read more…

Underneath the Mackinac Bridge

Below the Mackinac Bridge in northern Michigan

This is a view from the northern shore of Michigan’s lower peninsula, looking north directly underneath the Mackinac Bridge. This image is my first HDR with Nik Software’s HDR Efex Pro 2, and includes some post-HDR adjustments in Lightroom 4.

Dark Clouds over Lake Michigan

Dark Clouds over Lake Michigan

My wife and I were exploring the beach at Saugatuck Dunes State Park when we saw this cool group of dark clouds advancing over Lake Michigan. She shot this one using my backup DSLR and a wide-angle zoom lens, and I edited it in Lightroom 4.  

Testing mobile posting and admin

Blog Keyboard Icon

I’m away from my laptop for awhile, but I do have my Android smartphone and a WiFi connection, so I’m testing access to my photography blog from the mobile WordPress app. So far so good!  Looks like image and text posting functions are working as expected. Posted from WordPress for Android

The ‘photoworks’ vs. ‘photography’ thing

So why not just ‘David Kamm Photography’ and ‘davidkammphotography.com’?  Why this ‘Photoworks’ stuff? The answer is that another David Kamm, who is actually a pro photographer, has long been active commercially as David Kamm Photography and davidkammphotography.com.  He’s done a wide variety of good work, as you can see on his site.

So what’s next?

I’m glad to have this blog/site up and running, with full public visibility now.  I debated waiting until I had it much more fleshed out; with several photo galleries in place, everything looking just right, etc.  That’s more my usual style. But last night I decided to just launch it, and make the ongoing design … Read more…
