This afternoon my family and I took a short trip to Loantaka Park where I shot these photos. These a little pond with many ducks and a couple of magnificent swans. They are very friendly and seem to like being around people, I guess because many visitors bring them food.

My name is Vladimir Vinogradsky and I am a professional programmer and a photography enthusiast based out of East Hanover, New Jersey. Over the last couple of years I’ve gained experience with Photoshop, Lightroom, and digital photography in general, so I felt the need to share, and hopefully learn new tricks from your feedback.

I am launching this blog as a place for photographers to gather and exchange information, showcase my shots and share my ideas, techniques, and tools. I will do my best to keep this blog updated as my time allows.

I’m currently still getting all my quirks worked out on this blog, so if something does not work or does not seem right please drop me an e-mail about the problem. Also, don’t hesitate to provide your feedback and comment on the contents of this blog.

Thanks.
