garry_young1 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Don't know if someone has been designated as was suggested earlier in the week, but can't wait any longer. So here goes. Pics to follow - just want to avoid the dueling threads again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garry_young1 Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 OK. This week I have two black and whites, and one black and white with a little tone mapping. <P> Firstly, my point of view of the world: <P> <a href=" title="IMGP5361 by Garry Young, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3151/2913506421_b6f51fa681.jpg" width="500" height="339" alt="IMGP5361" /></a> <P> Secondly, my student's carreer choice recommendations for me. I like the last one, and that's why the discussion ended there and moved on to them introducing their future dreams: <P> <a href=" title="IMGP5394 by Garry Young, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3170/2913504713_261fe1ffd8.jpg" width="500" height="338" alt="IMGP5394" /></a> <P> And lastly, a very small knot in a park bench - 12mm across the frame: <P> <a href=" title="IMGP5464 by Garry Young, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3062/2913509583_fe86bb9300.jpg" width="500" height="338" alt="IMGP5464" /></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garry_young1 Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 Ooh, great shots Justin. I wish I could see the sky some times! Both shots seem so clear and have a crisp fresh fall feel to them. So, I live in Taiwan where it is already in the afternoon of Sunday, and I wanted to put up some shots before going to play a little social rugby, but you are up at an unhealthy time of day! What's your excuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_elenko Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I was cooped up in my home office too long and just had to get out and shoot a few to test out my new K20D. Good thing the DA*50-135mm is also weatherproof. <img src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/386831504_cvTKp-M.jpg"/><br/>Passion Flower, K20D,DA* 50-135mm @135mm, 1/250 @ f3.5, ISO 400</a> <img src="http://www.smugmug.com/photos/386831648_wHGc8-M.jpg"/><br/>Hydrangea, K20D,DA* 50-135mm @135mm, 1/180 @ f3.5, ISO 400</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpiotiavos Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Garry, those black and whites are phenomenal. here's another one from the weekly pancake happening: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
personalphotos Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Great jump on it this week Gary. I guess the 'floor' is yours. Seems the therapy is working and you're recovering nicely from the photo trauma! Those forst 2 shots are excellent. Fantastic shots both Justin. You could probably sell that second one to the Pittsburgh tourism dept. Love the passion flower Michael. Gotta like those water seals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snik75 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Garry, that second shot is great, definitely good for a smile. Social rugby? I had to quit in college after a major concussion, but I remember the games as being pretty antagonistic. The parties afterward, though, were quite social. Justin, both stunning shots. Your trip to Pitt yielded some great shots! Michael, I really like that first shot, with so much of the flower apparatus in focus.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markus maurer Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I slowed down a bit this week taking photographs but went on Zurichs house mountain "Uetliberg" with a friend and her dogs for some picture taking. Got a huge Vivitar F 2.8 35-85mm Series 1 zoom in M42 mount and good condition and present you my first test shot with it.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob-c Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Some truly great shots already! Garry, the b&w's of your students are priceless. I have continued to explore the Wissahickon Valley area and just cannot wait until autumn really hits. I have been reading up on this section of Philadelphia and it seems that back in the early industrial age (1700"s) this creek was the home to many mills and was almost completely deforested. In the middle of the 19th century an effort was made to return it to it's natural beauty and in 1924 it became an official part of the park system of the city. Many of the stone bridges and other parts were built during the Great Depression as part of the W.P.A. program during the second New Deal.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
