Downtown Woodstock has a few new visitors on the streets lately.  The local businesses created scarecrows and placed them along the side of Main Street. Below is just on of the many the line the street.

I was talking to someone about color calibrating monitors for the purpose photo editing. I thought I would share what I use to calibrate mine. I use a Spyder 3 by Datacolor and try to calibrate my monitor once a month. I also calibrate it when I to replace a light bulb in my office, or if for some strange reason I rearrange my office and the lighting setup changes. The Spyder 3 makes it very easy, just start the application and follow the instructions. I really enjoy the last screen of the calibration process where is lets you see and few photographs and you can toggle to before and after views. When I need a second calibrator I’m going to get Spyder 4 Pro. A calibrated monitor makes a world of difference to how the images turn out.

I’m telling you that Lacy is one to the most photographed subject around our house.

There is something about colors and shapes that catch my eye. So when I saw these color markers on the table I had to make a photo of them. I really like the way the shallow depth of field make the markers kinda blend together.

I have often thought I might like to try fencing, this could be because of The Princess Bride and Inigo Montoya. I never really new of a place that I could try it out. As I was going the bank today I drove past what used to be a Sears store, but is now a fencing facility. I may have to check into a little more.
