Chica is a fine example of man’s best friend.

Not easy to get the eyes sharp with a manual focus lens.

Toko

Toko in front of Riga airport. It is the first one of six pictures I was going to expose last weekend, but unfortunately I forgot to make the prints in time so I will just put them online.

Sharpening

If you create your images through a digital camera or by scanning negatives you should always sharpen your pictures either in Photoshop or by turning on the in-camera sharping algorithms (usually these are on by default). Also, don’t forget you get the least artifacts and best quality by only using sharpening at the output resolution.
I was going to throw this one away before I tried sharpening, now I kind of like it. Note the excessive halo around the overexposed neon tube: a typical sharpening artifact.
So I guess the lesson learned is that Photoshop is the best software of all time or something… .

Chica

Chica is a whippet puppy and was seven weeks old when I took this picture. She is incredibly sweet.

Tokots & Blok

Where do they get those nicknames? I don’t know, but on the other hand I never asked
