Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' on the river.....

By ClassyShots written 9/14/06 6:22 PM, published 9/14/06 6:22 PM
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.

Some Ruins for Turbo (He'll know why)

By wilk written 9/12/06 7:42 PM, published 9/12/06 7:42 PM
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

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.

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.

More Hong Kong

By fuzzy1 written 6/13/06 9:07 PM, published 6/13/06 9:07 PM
I think I have one of the greatest jobs - I get to build computer networks for a company that has offices all over the world.  So I spend most of my summers building routers and firewalls in all sorts of interesting places.  The last trip was Taiwan and Popup LinkHong Kong.

No matter how many times I go there, I love staying across the harbor in Kowloon.
Popup LinkHK2, where you can see and taste all sorts of interesting things Popup LinkHK3 Popup LinkHK4.

To get to work each morning, we take the   Popup Linkferry 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 Popup LinkHK9  Popup LinkHK10 Popup LinkHK11 Popup LinkHK8 Popup LinkHK7

Unfortunately, this year I missed the Popup Linkdragon boat festival by a couple of weeks...

Some Little Dancers

By Penny written 6/8/06 4:51 PM, published 6/8/06 4:51 PM
While at the dance recital rehearsal I just couldn't resist taking shots of the Popup LinkLittle dancers.  They are so  Popup Linkcute, watching thier little friends. Trying to remember thier Popup Linksteps.   Popup LinkSinging to the top of thier lungs. They are just so precious when they start out.  Not to mention they have such cute little Popup Linkcostumes.  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.

Experimenting with Tone

These scenes from Big Bend National Park were taken about a year ago.  I've been fooling around with tone adjustments:  Let me know what you think.
