This image was captured last July 4th while on vacation in Paris. A

beautiful city that lights up wonderfully after the sun sets. The

image is stitched together from 3 portrait oriented exposures.

Other than sharpening for web display, it is unmanipulated.

Wanted to try shooting the dogs in the new studio. Lighting

consists of two strobes positioned 45 deg to either side of the

camera and set about 45 deg above the "models". Lighting ratio was

approx 1:2. Background is black muslin which was further darkened

in PS but with some texture remaining. Exposure parameters are 24-

70/2.8@32mm f/11 1/60.

The great clashing of nature and man.

I couldn't resist the dichotomy of this image. Enough said.

The picture on the left is straight out of the camera with no post

processing. The picture on the right has had a good deal of work

done (obviously). I think it worked out quite well. Enjoy (and

critique).

This was taken the day after Typhoon 23 devistated large portions of

Japan. Yokohama was spared much of the storm. The following day was

really quite nice. The ferris wheel is in downtown Yokohama and this

picture was taken from my hotel room balcony.

I liked the gradient in the sky and how is plays against the color of

the structure. This was taken the day after Typhoon 23 devistated

Early morning during the short spring at Mt Rainier National Park in

Washinton, USA. Enjoy.

While on a whale watching tour one morning we came across this eagle

sitting in this tree on a very small island. I like the picture but

have never liked the color for some reason. This is the original

color image. I did two black and white version of this photo. The

first

one used a red filter and the

one

used a blue filter. I prefer the red filter version, what do

you think?

SImply mirrored one of my sunset pictures. The "island" is actually

the end of a penisula from the mainland.

This capture was taken from the Oregon Museum of Science and

Industry. It was taken last December during a cold snap that created

some incredibly clear air in the Portland area. Oregonians will

probably enjoy this more than others.

I took a portrait framed picture of this scene a few

years ago but couldn't do a landscape for lack of a wide enough

lens. Last week I had a wide lens and after two days of rain (and

waiting) I was able to capture the landscape (along with about a

dozen other photographers). Comment and enjoy...

This panorama was taken from the top of the Dead Horse Creek trail at

Paradise at Mt. Rainier National Park in Washington. Sticted in

Panorama Factory from 4 captures. Comments and constructive critiques

are welcome. Most importantly...enjoy.

Our first days at Mt Rainier National Park this year were quite

rainy. The trails around Paradise were deserted. This was the first

picture I took on this trip. If not for the clouds, the mountain

would cover most of the background. Comment if you like it, critique

it if you must, but most of all...just enjoy it. -Kevin

Very nicely captured and presented. Good control of the DOF. Great color saturation. If I had to nit about anything I'd ask for just a bit more detail or contrast in the bee's head.

Hi Hugh. I don't do a lot of street shooting so keep that in mind with my comments. I would like to see the whole bike in the picture. Losing the back end is distracting.

This photograph is a combination of two exposures of the same scene. The first exposure captured the flowers and the mountains (1/4 @ f/13). The second captured the sunrise (1/125 @ f/13). I then used photoshop layer masks to combine the properly exposed portions of both captures. Several building were removed using the rubber stamp tool, and various other adjustments were made (local contrast enhancment, global curves, shadow recovery, some selective saturation adjustments, and sharpeneing). I've printed this at 24x30 and it looks great on the wall.

Needs more depth of field.

Thank you all for the kind comments. This photo was shot 3 years ago with my D30. I'm going back to Rainier in a week with my 10D and plan on trying this shot again. It came out very nice the first time but I have always wanted to shoot it with a wider lens too. I tried a landscape composition but just didn't have a wide enough lens at the time.

 

The skyline is definitely jpeg artifacting. I've looked at the skyline very carefully to ensure that the original source image has no alignment errors in it.

 

And I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to pass on the ND filter set. Thanks though.

Interesting that the camera in the mirror is in landscape while the resultant picture in portrait.

For cat lovers. Koday Royal Gold 400, scanned, de-noised in

NeatImage. Enjoy.

Very nice.
