Stanford Walk
I’ll meet you all at The Oval on Thursday at 4 PM. There is ONE bit of bad news. There was going to be a talk afterward at 5:30 PM, but it looks like the auditorium at Stanford fell through. This was a surprise to me too – so, my apologies… however, the walk is still on and I look forward to meeting y’all.
As a bonus, I’ll be giving away a lot of Smugmug goodies! So be sure to come with room to take home something special!
Topaz Detail Review
Topaz Detail just upgraded their cool software. I have written a quick Topaz Detail Review, which I will add to more in coming weeks. It’s a really nice and fun program – I invite you to check it out!
Daily Photo – The Gothic Study
Note this is the "small" library. I’ll post the main library in a few weeks!
As always, you can zoom in to see the details by clicking through. The details are quite incredible, and I am sure you will delight in seeing the closeups of the hand-carved wooden arches and the painted Spanish ceilings… it was all amazing! If you look closely at the full res version towards the middle, you can see a portrait of WR Hearst when he was 31-years-old.

As always…another fine HDR!
Beautiful colors and details … signature style
great shot!!
Seen on Fluidr
Something tells me this fits perfectly into that "golden ratio". Wish I knew more about that wacky Greek math. haha
soo wonderful image
Yes, I agree ‘cozy’ – would love to read a book here – thanks Trey!
It must have been hot in there, I count four fans. This room is filled with sooooooo much detail. I love how I can see all the nicks and scratches in the tables, and how the most forefront chair has a piece of thread coming out of it. Very good detail in your shot.
Beautifully done S in C!! great detail and you’ve captured the overwrought elegance of the place. Wouldn’t need to read a book in that library. YOu can just sit and read the walls.
wow just give me some snacks a pillow and blankey and a few reading friends. what a great time that would be.
Amazing! I am speechless..
Love it !
wonderful picture. I especially like the gothic arches.
awesome shot in an amazing place! i really like the details in the ceiling construction!
What I wouldn’t do to have a library like that in my own home…
What a great place. Amazing detail on this one!
Stunning
great details, I only counted three fans.. must be a warm place..lol
Amazing shot.. simply awesome..
just checked again, there is four… lol

What a mad photo. You truly have talent.
Absolutely incredible!
Very Nice, I truely enjoyed investigating this photo.
wow check that rich texture – very nice
An amazing shot, just love the details
Amazing colour, texture, composition, light…winwinwin!
Looks like the the library which was in that extraordinarily dumb movie, "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" with Sean Connery. Which was the best part of the movie.
I loved visiting Herst Castle….just a staggering place. I liked the fact that if you stayed too long as a guest, your chair would get moved ever closer to the blazing fire in the dining room every evening.
detail detail detail! mpravo!
lovely warm tones
What an amazing shot! This is gorgeous.
Awesome processing. Very well done.

Truly amazing!!
overdone HDR, like too many on flickr, but I still like the study a lot! (no offense on the HDR, I’m sure you realize it’s overdone, and like it that way)
Striking…. I Love it
You are great…..
Congratulations. Seen on Explore!
Wonderful capture, creative and inspiring. Now that’s what I like to see!
