Hello,,,

This scene has a lot of potential...! I'd like to see it a little darker ,,,, just a tad over exposed in the foreground " for my taste".. I realize the stones are white and reflect more light but....

I had a gentleman stop and talk which distracted me somewhat and I

ended up shifting the lens the wrong way but,,,, I liked it anyway..

Tell me what this reminds you of.. :)

Capital building in Springfield Illinois at twilight..

If you are ever given the chance you should visit this town for all it 's

photographic posibilities if nothing else..!

Myself,, I'm a big history freak now for some reason and this town is full

of history..

Comments welcome

Regards Steve

I like this shot,, I've never seen a frontal shot of a Cedar Waxwing.

I think a vista shot like this needs all it parts in sharp focus to be acceptable.. I realize the flowers are the main subject but even those get out of focus tward the back end... I suggest using a small aperture and apply the use of the hyper focal distance for your chosen lens..

two exposures with different heads one filtered soft and one not

set-up time was 5-6 hours and 7 polaroids

Hello guys and gals,,

It does my heart good to hear from so many of you ...!

I composed this on a 4x5" camera and I didn't manage to get the cross on main spire in frame... I may have to clone out the cross all together because I too see it as a major distraction...

I measured light falling on the subject by means of an incident meter to keep some detail in the whites..

Regards

Steve

Hi Amir,,,

Thank you,,, I have seen your work and I am flattered to have you notice mine..

This was a special place and I wish I would have stayed longer because,sadly I may never get the chance to return..

I'm not a big filter person but I know a scene like this warrents the use of a NDG or "two" ;)

Best Regards

Steve

Hello Diana,,,

Thank you... No, I shot this in existing light with a tripod and a cable release..

Hello Diana,,

This is a sweet shot .. I think it's just a tad over exposed the shade of the birds plumage seems off..
