photog 5

Hi everyone !

Its such a fun race I had to share at least one image with you guys!

I took many images over the three day event but I think this is one

of my favorites (taken on the first day)... I like the feel of it.

Any how let me know what you think -

jist of the image !

 

Greg

enjoyed your comments !

Taken in the morining in Eureka CA , Sequoia Park.

though I couldnt find much to shoot in the area here is what the water looked like at the right angle~

The red tone in the shade of the wood pilings are not made with

photoshop- there actually was a red tide, the sky reflected the blue.

I wasn't able to upload for the last few weeks! Thanks to whoever

fixed my account!

Keja my Doberman loves the beach, she is super friendly and loves to

play, can you tell?

It was a shoot and run shot but I liked it - the line for accent - ?

sounds good framing isnt easy for me to get but I will keep trying :}

Greg

on the way to Crescent city I couldnt help but stop and shoot one of

these..

Winding around the top of Fern canyon this staircase takes you to

the trail that leads back to the beach.

We spent the morning cleaning up and I snapped this on the way out.

I like the difused colors in the backround ebbing thru the trees, as

for the dog she is always sneaking in my frame at the last second (I

almost always use self timer to elimenate camera-shake, shooting

from tripod)

Trees blend from white to grey, standing watch over the Smith river

on a sunny Febuary afternoon.

I look forward to getting my hands on one! Thank you for your input. I used to be a one hour photo lab owner and Digital helped put me out of business, however I embrace its convienance and enviormental advantages.. and lets face it coming home and just downloading images to your PC is the utmost in instant satisfaction. But until I can get the DSLR I'll be lugging around my old Nikkormat and Minolta Digital together!

One of my favorite places for a hike, These groves have all been

donated by people who have left money to preserve a chunk of Old

Growth Redwoods, often you will read a plackard near a redwood seat

in Memory of~ here is the view from one such place...

These are the Coastal Redwoods Of Northern California, They aquire alot of thier water from the coastal fog we have here, in fact Humboldt County is supposedly the 2nd foggyest place in the world, lol..

I am happy with the results from my 4. megapixl for the most part, close ups and macros especially, SOMETIMES though I still realy see a diferance in my landscapes. To be fair the digital dimage I have does go manual, I just have to save money to step up to the next level.

see below - I accedently deleted prior request but do want input on

higher end digital cameras~

Im an ideot ~ I keep accidently deleting my request for critic, I was just tryin to show the differance between my Digital and 35mm on same scene minutes apart... the 4 megapixle 325 dollar range camera , still has a ways to go, but I have been told if I spend more money 2,000 or so Ill get a digital camera that is closer to my 35 mm results, Is this true anyone out there with comments?

this is the digital image

Thankyou for your nice comments!

the Digital format still seems a bit contrasty to me as well, its harder to control than with regular film, at least within the price range I can afford....

I have more from this series, was perched on a rock so couldnt get more to my left , -- your shots looked great in your portfoilio.....

I welcome any comments, good or bad, The last "substancially Photoshoped " Image I posted I got one person who wondered where was the actual photographic image - base rule for posting here- so I took the liberty of showing what the art was made from. Its a fun creative thing to do - use your imagination, my only regret with this image I made is I made it too small - so I cant realy have it printed larger than 5x7 -- next one Ill do larger THEN shrink it down-- lol duh
