The Great Blue: Shot for Kashchei
I took these 2 pictures especially for Kashchei. I hope this takes you down memory lane!
The Blue Pyramid - Cal State University, Long Beach
...and my favorite of the 2:
I waited to take the photos today because I saw that it was suppose to rain all this week, and I love the way clouds turn out on rainy days. Sorry if you would have preferred a more sunny day
, but my goal is always to get the most dramatic effect.
Yours Truly,
Carlos
P.S. I decided to add this 3rd one in. I didn't include it in my original post...but what the heck. It's just a close up:

Very stunning. I personally prefer #1. I like the way the grey of the stairs stands out, as well as the way the red rails go vertically, and are centered.
where is that?! that place is beautiful
Yes, it's beautiful. Windermere is in the Lake District, a national park in north-west England. At 11 miles the lake is England's longest (though anyone familiar with the US 'Great Lakes' would call it a garden pond
). The landscape and weather are very changeable.I live in a small wooden shack near the shore, with the woodpeckers and wildfowl. The woodpeckers are good company, as long as the conversation doesn't stray too far from bark and grubs. This is my boat (to be accurate, I own a third of it)...
Red rock country
Somewhere near Sedona, Arizona. Yeah, I know the shadow in the lower left corner is too dark, but it was a quick scan, and there probably is detail that I can tease out of it by changing the shadow values, but it's late, and I'm tired...

Nice photos, and interesting architecture, but only ONE photo per day is allowed, not 2, or 3.
Three Stacks and a Puff of Steam
What a cold night to go out in Providence to take some pictures of the Manchester Power Station from accross the river. I've walked and biked past this for the past few months and finaly took the tripod and camera down to capture it. I think next time I'll wait till summer.
Camera: Canon EOS XTi
Lens: Tamron 17-50 f2.8 @ 50mm

Exposure: 30s @ f/5.6

UCF campus at sunset, on top of a parking garage. That's the Harris Corp. Engineering Centre, and the crane is part of construction on the new Physical Science Building.

I think it was a 50mm/f2 lens

I cropped it a little.

WOW...the photo has a wonderful atmosphere to it.Been a while....but here is a pic I took in the late fall in N. Georgia.
Carlos, those three are spectacular--thank you from the bottom of my heart! Your pictures really are an amazing trip down memory lane. As I mentioned before, CSULB offered me my first teaching job (I found out about it the day before I got on the plane when returning home to the States from two years of dissertation research in Europe). Wonderful memories and I owe them today to you. Thank you!
P.S. You should sell your photos to CSULB--they are that good.
Sorry for the late description !!

Mt Hood at dawn - Oregon
From my old back deck. I know it's noisy, but I tried to extract detail from the the mountain, which was basically a silhouette. I'll probably scan it again later and get a darker sky, better moon, and less noise - which comes from the scanning process, not the film.

Doylem: Excellent shot of your boat. The light is sublime.

Valdore - I'm really loving the BW HDR's. I'm going to have to try one sometime.
I took this for the project366 I'm doing.

One handheld RAW // HDR
Shutter: 1/125
Aperture: f/12.9
Focal Length: 17mm
ISO 100
Just out of curiosity, do you make a color HDR first and then convert to black and white or the other way around?

What kind of light do you use for this type of shot?
