The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

I'd say Empire State Building but, if it is, it's not the front. I can't find a picture that matches the lines.

It is the ESB, taken from across 34th street.  But you have to tilt your head to the left to really see it.

Yep, I had to turn my laptop sideways to see it.

I would love to be able to make effects like these. What programs do you use? I have a MacBook Pro.

Here's one I took with my phone in German Village and manipulated with a program called vignette on my droid:

Very neat stuff in this thread!

I feel a little goofy.  Absolutely every one of my photographs everywhere is post-processed at least a little, but I tend to think that good photo manipulation is like good makeup; it's best when you can't tell there's any at all.  Thus, I'm usually very sly about what I change.

Still, I've got some pieces where the manipulation is more front and center.  Here are some of my favorites:

This is an HDR photo of my brother's Ford Exploder... err, I mean Explorer.  The image is a composite of 3 separate exposures run through Photomatix.


This is another HDR composite, this time of my dining room table shortly after Christmas:


This image received extensive curves adjustment, followed by a gradient map.


This one was heavily color graded, with the intent of giving it a classic '60s photograph feel, even though it was taken sometime in 2009 with a digital camera.


And this one was actually digitally painted over using MyPaint and a Wacom tablet.  I kinda hesitate to call it an effect because it was all done by hand.  It took a few hours, but I'm pretty pleased with the result.


Cheers!
