This has been making the rounds, so I’m hardly the first to post it. It’s still pretty amazing though.

I’m never quite sure what to think of these whiz-bang features in new versions of Photoshop. They’re great tools for artists, to be sure, but our culture already has a real problem with photography and how it reflects reality, and I’m not sure this kind of thing really helps. What do you think?
Spring Thaw
I’m pretty sure this is actually the first robin I’ve seen this year. I ran out to Fox Island over the weekend and he was flying around eating berries off of the Sumac bushes. (You can just see the berry in his beak in the larger shot) I’m guessing pickings are kind of slim for a robin in Indiana at the end of February.

Sadly, I don’t have one of those huge telephoto lenses that costs as much as a used car (and I’d probably never carry it around if I did), so I had to make do with a little wider framing. Considering I was experimenting around with old manual-focus lenses, I’m pretty pleased with what I got.
