Babcia Re-edits
I've been re-editing some pictures from Poland here and there, and I decided to throw together a little compositive of our favorite picture of Babcia, adding some falling leaves and sun rays.
And because Babcia always talks longingly of living 100-200 years ago instead of today with all these crazy computers, I decided to turn it into an old picture as well.
Auschwitz Edits
I edited a few pictures I took in Poland which required more attention than I could give them on a small-screen laptop with only a trackpad. Today I focused on the few pictures I took at Auschwitz.
Sunset While Walking the Dog
First, this, of course -- two weeks to go. We're all getting excited.
Then this -- a simple image from this evening's walk with the dog.
Topaz Lab DeNoise AI
I bought Topaz Lab’s noise reduction plugin for Lightroom today. I’m fairly impressed.
It cleaned up a low-light phone picture nicely:
It removed the noise from a 2005 picture at Auschwitz:
It gave a dreamy look to a photo from inside my favorite bar in Lipnica:
Looking forward to fearlessly shooting at higher ISOs.

Everything’s Gray
One of Chris Niedenthal’s images of Poland in the 1980s — he called it “Everything’s Gray.” I wish I’d taken more photos of the parts of Poland I knew that looked like this because they’re gone. That’s probably a good thing, but I wish I’d photographed those places myself.
There was a bar in my village that I almost never entered. It was the GS-owski bar and even in the mid-90s, it looked like one would always imagine a bar to look in a communist country.
