Photo Of The Week 11/23/08 (please delete previous thread)

[jemal.yarbrough]

My second picture of the week is from May, but I spent all night re-editing it in photoshop. Not really happy with the red back ground or the jagged lines, but I'm still learning. I am happy with the eyes (whited and eye color changed), lips (color change), and skin (blemishes).

Yes Jemal, you're not yet finished with it. As you say the edges are jagged, as if she was pasted unto the background. You could easily soften it with a touch of blur.

Javier - The first two pictures look good, but, the clouds look odd. Were these shot close to sunrise/set?

<br>

Bob - Alpine Grass is great. A little too much contrast for me, but good anyhow.

<br>

Justin - Sounds like we're having similar temperatures. With the weather here, snow and ice came also.

<br>

Leo - Your catching my obsession. Everywhere I go, I have to take a panoramic.

<br>

Here is a pano that I took last week.<div></div>

The same day, I hiked to a place that almost scrapes the sky (natural skyscraper :-)) and found this amazing tree among the clouds.<div></div>

Yesterday, I found a frozen creek that I was looking for. After getting about 8" of snow, and single digit

temperatures, the creek finally froze.

Jon - great shots but I'm glad to not have seen snow in this part of the Great White north yet. Love the creek.

 

Christer - interesting perspective

 

Leo - your first pano turned out well. What make of car is the wreckage?

 

Jemal - terrific beach capture.

 

Bob - the waterfalls / rainbow image is stunning. Kudos.

 

Jeff - Paddington station is superbly framed, nice capture indeed.

 

O Shiva - outstanding captures. The second is my favorite of the 3.

 

Markus - the 3 shot is a major wow shot. Amazing lighting. Kudos.

 

Robert - love the benches, particularly the new one amongst the weathered ones. It makes me think about how my fathers generation is passing and my generation is now becoming "the old guys". Kudos on a well captured thought provoking image.

 

Lorenzo - great candid.

 

Michael - stunning sunrise. Sweet capture.

 

Javier - that's a really big dog! The shot of Daniel is the best of the 3. I see he's still shooting with the K100D.

 

Ben - great Dragonfly shots. Which lens did you use? The D FA 100mm Macro?

 

Justin - amazing landscapes however I like the sign shot best. Nicely framed and captured.

 

I haven't had much of an opportunity to get out and shoot anything this week. The weather has been terrible. Perpetual RDF (rain, drizzle, fog) and a balmy 8 degrees Celsius. Fortunately it did clear this afternoon for a few hours so I managed to get the kids out to the park - here a few in that late afternoon light....<div></div>

[duane_mills]

And another...<div></div>

[duane_mills]

Here's another....<div></div>

[duane_mills]

And the last...

 

All shots were taken with with the DA 50-200 on the K100D Super. I decided to travel light and make it a one lens excursion.<div></div>

One of these days I'll venture out of my apartment and take pictures of something other than my cat. Poor thing.<div></div>

[brendonmeyer]

Another.<div></div>

[natacha_audette]

We had 5 min to take photos and this is what I got...

[brendonmeyer]

Well I guess I do have one non-cat photo I can post. Not the greatest comp, just held the camera on my patio railing. The mushroom looked like it was upside down or something, just thought it was cool how the water collected in it. It's been cropped, but not sure how much. Original is <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/brendon.l.meyer/Misc02#5271616392130272194">here</a>.<div></div>

Out Tuesday night out taking some photos , local traffic hampered my shots. On this night, along an isolated creek

and all setup and 4min into the exposure along here comes a car. Re setup and 7min into the exposure another car

(dam). Third time was a charm 13min into the exposure another car, I was able to use the shot but I would have like

to have 15-20mins but beggars cannot be choosers.<div></div>

<i>What make of car is the wreckage?</i>

<p>

I dunno -- Ferrari?

[jgredline]

@Jon, That sky is a result of all the fires that went on in Southern Calif. at sunset,..

 

Great stuff everyone, will comment as soon as more are posted.

[shots worth sharing]

I'm ambivalent about the star trails, Ian, but otherwise that's a gorgeous shot!

 

Apologies for playing hooky from the POW--I've been testing lenses. But I did have to get out of "the lab" and shoot a few with my new toy (FA 135mm, f/2.8). Here's one that isn't totally bungled.<div></div>

[shots worth sharing]

Rittenhouse Square is great (and brings back very old memories of pieces of life spent in that vicinity)

 

Also Beaver Meadow Falls! I'm partial to fast shutters for moving water.

 

Like Frozen Creek and Ghost Tree a lot, Jon and, of course, the kids, Duane.
