June 15, 2009 – We're leaving Friday (June
19) for a week in Switzerland. My "Mann" (that's German for husband)
will be attending the 2009 Goldschmidt
Conference in
Davos; I'll be happily exploring
the area with my camera. I've never been to Switzerland, so I'm quite excited.
Photos will be posted from Davos, for sure.
I'm continuing to explore various Photoshop plug-ins.
One of my favorites (right now) is Nik Silver Efex Pro. Some of my experiments
from the past week can be seen below:
