Eight panel panorama. I tried this shot with 2 cameras and 2 lenses.

I think I favor the one with more "panels" since they will be

staggered like this.

This is long time swimming hole for the town of Glen Rose. I pasted

together 5 frames to make this segmented panorama. Overall length is

about 27 inches.

3-frame panorama of street intersection in Fort Worth, Texas. Shot on

film then scanned. "Pasted" raw photos onto blank 9x25 inch frame in

Photoshop.

I made this image the day before 9-11. The sky was just as clear here

as it was in New York. - I like the idea that on September 10, 2001

with all the anti-american nonsense in our country and all Hell about

to break loose, in this little town the U.S. Flag is proudly waving in

front of the small, humble building that President Ronald Reagan was

born in. I'll have some up for sale on eBay.

This is from the National Stearman Fly-In held every year at

Galesburg, Illinois. I'm selling this as a postcard on eBay.

Another crude paste together panorama. Wish I had staggered the

frames a little more.

A rough splice - Yes, the blending is off... I think this image would

be boring if it was a perfect blend and correctly aligned.

There's a lot to look at in this image and I'd like to think it has

humor and charm. Yes or no?

This was at the Fort Worth Main Street Arts Festival (April 18, 2004)

This guy in the wild suit is adjusting his stuff while everyone else

is looking off in different directions.

Actually, the reds are pretty close to what's out there in the flower pot.

As for the white, I agree. But hey, it's a cheap plastic pot.

Exposed about 4-minutes with a 4x5 Zone VI and a 135mm. The boat was

moving up and down slightly while I was making the shot, but it still

came out sharp.

I've shot and re-shot this building several times under different light. This week I walk up to the building and take a good look at it.

Somebody painted the bricks...

Looks to me as if it's been years ago, so the paint is working more like a stain and throws the whole thing off.

I did this to test out an Olympus c-5000 Digital Camera - "macro" mode

without a flash on an overcast/softlight day.

Cropped, dodged, burned, installed hot-air balloon from another photo,

adjusted the color, removed the traffic light and converted from a

BITMAP into a JPEG.

This is a photoshop manipulaion. A combination of photos from the

Galesburg and Bartlesville Fly-Ins.

This is the top of the Grapevine City Hall. I waited for a full moon

to get into position right behind the dome and backlight the scene.

From the left is the Church of Christ, the Baptist Church and then the

Methodist Church. The Baptist Church is the only one that still meets.

I walked up to the downtown library the Sunday after the March 2000

tornado and set up my 4x5. The Bank One Building had taken a "direct

hit" and almost every piece of glass shattered.

Texas DPS cars are always a challenge due to contrast of the glossy

black paint. The front is very dark, but at least it's not covered

with dead bugs. Some Troopers take pride in their cars and keep them

clean, while others drive 'em into the dirt...

Nope, no star filter. The effect just happened on it's own. I did lighten it up a notch in photoshop.
