Run4jc,
Re: "Just Hanging Out". Those are fun. Congrats on seeing the wonder and beauty right in front of your nose. So often we just blow past the most amazing things. It is good to slow down and "smell the roses".

Some snapshots from Tokyo last month, our Shiodome hotel was a short walk to the Tsukiji fish market and Ginza.

Wow! There are some truly great shots here! I wish I could do photography like some of these. Alas, I am "merely" a concert photographer. Here are a few of mine from last year:


Rufus Wainwright


All-American Rejects


Nine Inch Nails

[eman09]

wow those are some awesome pictures Vaughn. May I ask what kind of camera you used?

Re: "Merely" a concert photograper....

That is one of the tougher jobs, I think. Especially exposure wise. The dynamic range found in concerts is so difficult to deal with, especially with digital. The bright spotlights are quick to blow highlights, and the shadows just disappear if you expose for the highlights. Plus, if you use a low enough shutter speed, then you get all sorts of motion artifact (either from the performer, or camera motion). Then, if you open up your aperture enough to squeeze in some shutter speed, then you lose depth of field and often lose image due to mis-focus.
Finally, to compensate for the above, one often pushes ISO to the point that noise artifact ruins the image.
Thank goodness for the newer full frame, high ISO cameras with more latitude and clean low light potentials....just wish I could afford one.
Also, the risks from unruly fans, or over zealous security can make the shoot even more stressful...

Oh, did I say....NICE shots!

Hello everyone,

Excellent pictures from all around the world, this is a great thread. Good job

Here are a few pitcures of the beautiful Southern landscape, my childern and family Lab.

Still finding beauty to be at a tangent from reality. Here's a shot of my shoes in my back garden.




Anomaly? What anomaly.

BTW - second set of laces and still going strong.

Sweet Home Alabama - I do miss it. Great photos!

2nd photo ever taken with my new body/lens - a "grab shot" while putting the camera together - not quite focused in the spot I'd normall chose, but.

Yes sir, thank you. Also, my CreeMator is in Milky labs right now

Another of one of my forite test subjects (believe it or not, there are 2 other cats in the house - they just tend not to 'pose cute')

[DoctaDink]

Gunsmoke,
Love the Alabama scenes. Makes me want to go and grab my fishing gear and hit the pond. I think the smiling Lab standing in the mud ruts tells it all.

Some Flower Shots from May 2007, taken while waiting to be let into the school for my Daughter's play

I am no where near as good as those who have posted but I am proud of this pic. I bought a 1.5 inch resin skull and inserted trit tubes like Bart has in his Trit bulbs and shot this in total darkness.

Beam, that is a freaking awesome picture. Stunning. Thanx for providing the hi-res version !!!

Thanks Bernie, Here is a full frame version I use in my desktop background rotation for anyone inclined, its 1920 x 1200.

Here's a picture of one of my cats, Io, taken with my Minolta X-700, using a Vivitar 55mm 1:4.0 MFZ MC-mount lens with a Hoya 1B skylight filter - scanned with an HP PSC 1510, no touchups.

Link only so I don't accidentally spam a thread with an OMGHUGE image (unless this board does automatic image resizing?)

"Get Your Game Face On"


Yes, that's my son - playing indoor "basketball court" court soccer. Lighting in that gym is HORRID, a mix of Sodium & Mercury Vapor - white balance changes totally from spot to spot on the court

What's your camera/lens setup? Digital or Film? Either way, get yourself a green filter to tone down the mercury vapor and sodium to bring out more color next chance you get.

Thanks for the kind words on my photos. I guess I just meant that the only photography I've ever really done is the concert type. I'm not the kind of girl who can set up a shot very well... I'm much better at capturing the moment on stage. I have been complimented on it before as well. I guess that's what happens when you do this sort of thing for over seven years (and it especially helps having seen the same band several times!)!!

More pix from my night time cycle rides.

Here on the Grand Union Canal in London - at the dead of night (Yes really) Lit only by the moon.



And of course, with some torchy flourishes...

[Nyctophiliac]

Here's a spooky shot at one of the main lock basins - pretty desolate for the centre of London. Moonlight diffused by cloud in this shot and building filled in with my red RAW SS on high for about a minute.



Very Wintry and cold!

It has been raining for the better part of two weeks and the camera was feeling a little neglected. A gnat was bugging me while looking at everyone elses great pics and when I swatted it with my hand it stunned him. I picked it up and dropped it into the web of a small spider I leave in my window.




I scared the little guy into hiding when I placed the gnat in the web and after waiting for 5 minutes for him to come get his treat I gave up. When I checked back 20 minutes later he was well into his meal, as can be seen on the end of his fangs.

Very Cool photograph ! ! !


Never realized that The Ancient Crystal Skulls
