This tree is so huge that I needed to break it into 3 vert. (24 mm wide angle) images and then have photoshop stitch them together

Panorama from sunrise at Capitola, CA. The fog had rolled a few hundred

yards out to sea and the warm morning sunshine was bathing the colorful

apartments.

180 degree wide pano of sunset on the lake near my house in Clovis ,CA. The sun was setting and refelecting on the water after an afternoon storm and the colors were changing every few seconds. I did 4 of these and picked this one as the best. The print is on canvas about 14x36" and has gotten many good coments.

This is a photo I created in the 70's when I was just a lad. I used 2

1/4 graflex camera and Ilford pan-F film and develeped in hc110 with

a waterbath to bring out shadow detail. I printed (attempted to print

this image) several times in the darkroom, in the 70's and 80's and

again in the 90's but I could never get an image I was happy with.

Then I finally scanned the negative and got complete control over the

subtle tonal qualities in the snow. Now at last I am happy with my

image as printed. What do you think?

This is an abstract I did in photoshop. I see a blue flame and faces

and bodies and other sorts of things. Tell me what you see.

An image I created in 1974. I was studing the zone system at the

time, the challenge was: to get some detail in the deep shadows and

still not blow out the rocks in the forground in full sun. I used a

+1/2 exposure and a -1 development with a waterbath to bring up the

shadows. Thanks and tribute to Ansel Adams and Richard Zakia for the

wonderful books on the zone system. Bye the way, this image was taken

less than a mile from Ansel's carmel home.

Originally part of a larger complicated still life, I decided to just

focus on the Abstract design element of the cabbage. What do you

think?

I was Hiking Back to the car after a long afternoon shooting, when I

discovered this image, I thought it was too dark to make a proper

exposure, but I had to try. Shot at 8 seconds f11. I'm glad I took

the time to shoot this. It is one of my favorites from my 2006 Oregon

Trip. What do you think?

Very nice, I like the green on green. Is this HDR?

I really like this work of art. I feel like getting a cup of Joe, right now! the warm light is perfect for this shot and the steam on the coffee is a nice touch. Bravo!

I discovered this place after hiking several miles in the sandunes

near Florence Oregon. The Light was fantastic as there was a rain

storm just clearing. Please tell me what you think.

I always thought this looked like a littly guy sitting in a hole in

the snow. Then I added eyes from a photo of my cat. Now it makes me

laugh.

I love this image! it reminds me of the photos I studied as a youth, looking thru very old copies of national geographic magazine. A supurb rendition.

I was searching for a simple subject for infrared subject matter. Im

thinking of cropping out the grass in the foreground, making a

horizontal photo. Right now I like it without croping further.

Thanks for looking, let me know what you think.

I've presented the version of this photo with the little person

included. What's your vote? Better with out the kid or better with?

( I guess you will just have to imagine the version without, Eh?)

Thanks for looking!

Please tell me what you think. Thanks for looking

I love this photo because it first pulls you in with interesting graphics and composition. It is a clever use of positive and negative space. and then as your brain adapts the graphics become organic and recognition of the water and stone become overlaid with the graphis of it all.

Thanks for looking. Please post your comments.

It was only after using the Betterlight digital scanning back for several years that I discovered it's Infrared capabilities. The digital sensor is very very sensitive to IR light, hence a IR cut-orff filter has to be used to create a "normal photograph". When I put a hoya r72 filter in front of the lens I get the IR photograph. The Hoya R72 is a visible light cut off filter, that is when you look thru it you see almost no light at all (if you wait for your eyes to adjust you will see a very faint red image. What the camera sees, however is a bright, strange and different image, formed by almost exclusivly IR light.

I am experimenting with 4x5 digital infrared photography. Infra red

creates strange effects, most clothes appear white (except army camo,

i've discovered) the sky comes out very dark, and water is very dark

to black and it seems to cut through haze wich makes things look

closer sometimes. I am submitting several IR images, please share

your comments and critiqes.

This photo was taken with 4x5 view camera, slight tilt to control

depth of field. the giant leaf is also a Zuchini plant and the

feathers were naturally molted by my brother's Macaws. 210mm lens

portra vc film scanned.
