Many years ago, in need of something with which to brand my letterhead and envelopes that said &#8220;nature photographer&#8221; (other than, you know, the actual words, &#8220;nature photographer,&#8221;) I settled on a particular pelican image that seemed dynamic yet simple.<\/p>\n<p>Embedded photos don&#8217;t reproduce well on most one-color printing systems unless you either change the printer settings, which affects the entire page and greatly slows down the print job, or convert the image into halftone. &#8216;Halftone&#8217; is the process of reducing the image to dots &#8211; the denser the dots, the darker the portion of the image. It means a hit to resolution but actually much better results than trying to produce gradient tones from any printer that has two options<strong>:<\/strong> put ink down or don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wading-in.net\/walkabout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/LogoPelicanS.bmp\" alt=\"Wading-In Photography logo pelican\" width=\"350\" height=\"254\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-20897\" \/>Thinking, <em>Hey, that was a cool photo, I should feature that!<\/em>, I went looking for it. And thought I&#8217;d found it with the above image, but after scanning, I could see the wings were different. Yet I never did find the original. Either I was blowing past it (I have several hundred slides in the Bird category, so&#8230;) or I&#8217;d shot it on negative film, longer ago than I thought. Or I lost it entirely, which is really damn hard for me to do, since the slides remain in sleeve pages unless actually being scanned or submitted, and I know when I&#8217;ve submitted them. Right now I&#8217;m going with blowing past it, so maybe it&#8217;ll appear later on when I go through the pages again while paying more attention.<\/p>\n<p>But I can tell you, it looks good on the envelopes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When skimming through the slide pages looking for this week&#8217;s submission, I came across a couple of different slides of brown pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis,) which started me thinking.
