I found this guy on my deck yesterday and got a few photos of it. I accidentally had the camera on ISO 1600 so it is a little noisy. CC is always appreciated!

a little noisy? I wish I could get picture with that amount of noise. at ISO 200, my pictures are like sand.

Great shot.

Thanks for the kind words. Funny, now that I look at it I remember it having a little more noise. (I can't complain!)

Well, it is a new day now so I suppose I'll post today's entry. I took this today (err yesterday) at a local lake where there were tons of birds flying overhead. I have about 16 similar shots, so I'll probably post a few more from the series over the next few days.

Again, CC is welcomed! :)

I went to a play that my grandma was in, and they had a board in the entrance with pictures of all the elderly actors then/now. I saw a photo of one of the male actors and it really stroked my attention. So I set up my Alien Bee, and got this of my brother, trying to match the look and shadows of the portrait.

f/4.2 (yeah, the flash was overdoing my back light, even at the 1/32 power setting, so i just used the incandescent... cheating? Not if the end result looks good)
1/50 second

This shoot has taught me the valuable lesson of needing another AB. :)

Nice attempt. Lighting very 1940 ish .... :)

Aperture... incredible image. I love the detail and the tones. I never ask this, but is there any way I could get a 1280x800 desktop size from you?


M@lew, love the colours

ps: epicwelshman, I like the tallship picture a lot. Good one!

Thanks freebooter, I appreciate it. Here my best imitation of you!

Yesterday, I spent a nice hour or so in a local garden listening to Jeff Rense on the iPod while waiting for bees to land on or take off from flowers I had framed up. Very pleasant...memorable, in fact. This bee was getting ready to launch.

As epicwelshman said, awesome image. I also, love the colors.

Of course. Here you go. Thanks again for the kind words. It was a cloudy day so the white sky/background is all real - I just tweaked the exposure & contrast, then added a vignette.

Oops - I was just about to post another photo not realizing I already posted one for today! :eek: Well I guess tomorrow's entry is all ready then.

...such a lovely place, such a lovely place...

I stopped in for a shot of tequila at the Hotel California in Todos Santos, Baja California Sur, and turned around and took a shot from my barstool towards the restaurant area.

I see you started ©watermarking your images - probably a good idea considering they would sell for quite a bit. I think I told you this before, but if you ever decided to go professional I have no doubts about your success... Incredible work, as always.


As for me, I just enjoy trying ;)

Horses with Goat

Some horses with their guard-goat.

The horses didn't much care that we pulled over to take their photo, but the goat watched us suspiciously the whole time.

Hey freebooter, looks like we both had bees on the brain :p, except "mine" had just landed.
