. . . where I go to get away:
Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' on the river.....
One of my goals last week besides feeding Scooter the squirrel peanuts and sunflower seeds (unsalted of course) was to shoot some river shots for black and whites. One of the major goals here is keeping my feet dry. 38 degree river water in your boots gets mighty chilly mighty quick. My feet stayed dry. The feet on the tripod got plenty wet!Canon 20D, 18-55mm Canon kit lens, tripod and remote shutter release were used on all shots. Most are around F11 and 1/2 second shutter speed. No filters. All shot in RAW and converted to tiff with Raw Shooter Pro and converted to b&w in PS 7.
Enjoy,
Mike
Some Ruins for Turbo (He'll know why)
Langtry, Tx (pop. 11 or 12 depending on who you ask), a ghost town, is the former home of Judge Roy Bean. It's an odd mix of about 5 modern houses built among these ruins.The Torres family owned the land upon which Langtry was built and their store was the town's original shopping center
The Torres Store
Overgorwn Yard
More Overgrown Yard
Abandoned Homestead
Digging around...
.. in the archives looking for images with the tonal range for b&w conversion. Trying to learn to "see" better for shooting in black and white. My dog sees that way but unless it's food he doesn't think it looks good.
Red Rock just outside of Las Vegas.
This is one of those places of which I don't seem to tire; I assume that one day I'll figure out what I'm seeing here.
You knew you weren't going to get away without seeing some black and white.Detour: Arizona
At The Lake
We spent some time at the lake last weekend and these are a few shots I took.
Bonus: Chevy from a carshow last weekend.
Rainy Days in Houston
Stuff
Note: I know there were no pictures of toy cameras, the images are process to resemble an image from an old toy camera.
More Hong Kong
Hong Kong.
No matter how many times I go there, I love staying across the harbor in Kowloon.
HK2, where you can see and taste all sorts of interesting things HK3 HK4.
To get to work each morning, we take the ferry across to Central. (sure beats the freeway!)
But on my free weekends, I really appreciate the opportunity to go wandering to the outlying islands with a camera HK9 HK10 HK11 HK8 HK7
Unfortunately, this year I missed the dragon boat festival by a couple of weeks...

Some Little Dancers
Little dancers. They are so cute, watching thier little friends. Trying to remember thier steps. Singing to the top of thier lungs. They are just so precious when they start out. Not to mention they have such cute little costumes. I did see one little girl freeze up and start to cry and one ran off the stage. But most of them just smile and wave at thier mommys, daddys and grandparents.
