こんばんは！

Tonight’s photo is of our kitchen island, which doesn’t look too messy when everything is blurry!

Since my family is away, the island hasn’t been used for preparing food, but rather I’ve been using it as a chemistry lab. And by that, I mean that the island is where I have been testing the aquarium water. 😜 In the photo, you might be able to make out the 10 ml syringe, the colorful booklet to check the water quality, and the log book.

It’s almost vacation time for me. Just one more day of work and then I am outta here!

Talk to you later.

こんばんは！Hello, how’s it going?

Today, the clouds seemed to go on forever. I’m not sure if this year is any different as far as beautiful cloud days or if I am just looking for them more, but I’m definitely enjoying it! I hope it continues. ☁️

I hope you had a nice day.

こんばんは！Hi all, how’s it going today?

Tonight’s photo is of the sunset taken from the window at home.

I wasn’t happy with the color that was captured, but I did like the shapes of the clouds, so I decided I would make it into a black and white image. I used Nik Silver Efex Pro to create it, and applied one of the fantastic presets that they have available (I think this one is “Film Noir 2”). I then tweaked the vignette a bit and voila!

Have a nice evening!

こんばんは！Hello, how’s it going?

Well, it’s been a while since I have posted anything to Instagram. I wonder if it is that I just needed a break, or because I am adjusting to my summer bachelor life? Probably a bit of both. But I have been keeping up with my 366-daily-photo project which I post over on Flickr. Still going strong! 😃

I think I spend more time editing my Instagram images than I do my Flickr images, which hasn’t always been the case. I think the spirit of Instagram was originally “instant” and everyday snapshots, and I used to treat it like that. But now Flickr is that way for me. It’s funny how things change.

Below is another photo of that cloud formation, but after just a few minutes. Clouds change shapes so quickly, but it is hard to notice in real-time.
