Charles,
It's been a while since we got to enjoy your photographic skills! Awesome pic!
10 | Charles Johnson Sun, Aug 1, 2010 5:25:37pm |
The mix of colors in this one is really nice. I was driving on I-10 and had been noticing the cool dark blue color of the sky. Then I came over a hill and saw the incredible bright colors of the sunset reflected in the lower clouds, fading to that deep blue, and bam, there was a rest stop. I happened to have the D90 in the car, so I pulled off the freeway and snapped some photos in the few minutes before the colors went away. Lucky timing.

How would you like to have been the lucky sob who bought a bunch of old negatives at a garage sale for a few bucks and found out later they were the original Ansel Adams'?
Just appraised for millions, I think.
14 | Political Atheist Sun, Aug 1, 2010 5:29:23pm |
Magnificent shot. Nikon makes a darn fine camera. And as darthstar said above it's good to see your photography right up top. I may just bailout again later and get after a sunset here tonight. The high wispy clouds might just be good for it.
We were already out all day hunting some good shots and we got very little. I did get a crisp shot of a diamondback rattlesnake at Malibu state park.

I bought a Black Forest coo-coo clock for $13 with the original German paperwork. It's painted, too, which is unusual. An all brown one sold for $250 about 15 years ago new. That was my best find, I think.

I took a couple of pictures without the polarizing filter too, but they weren't as dynamic. The polarizer makes the colors more vibrant, even though it does reduce the amount of light somewhat. I compensate for it by slightly increasing the exposure.

Yes you did. I do believe the mind's camera is the best. A regular camera couldn't have captured it the way you saw it and the way your recall now sees it, and to have a photograph of it would never do justice to the memory.
I thought of your Goat Rock story when I was somewhat near your old stomping grounds early last month, but I was mainly in Mendocino. I had a fabulous and memorable time in spite of a sunburn caused by sheer mindlessness, and I hope to get back before another year goes by.

I know of landscape photographers, who for the very reason you cite above, avoid the better known places.
One of the better (IMO) local landscape photographers (who is an "amateur" but his photos are shown around town) visits the Grand Canyon. Now, that place has been photographed a zillion times, but it is so large that the number of different compositions is astronomical, so it is possible to find something unique.
OTOH, there are places like, say, the Statue of Liberty that probably allows for no novel photographs, simply because it has all been done before.
Which I think gets at an important point - why photograph? I know for myself that the images I treasure the most now are those with people (or places) in them that have been important to me.
79 | Irenicum Sun, Aug 1, 2010 6:31:55pm |
Cool! A photography thread. I've been taking pictures since I was 21, I apprenticed under a graphic artist who taught me composition and how to develop B&W film. He also gave me my first camera, a Pentax K 1000. Totally basic and all manual and it still works great. Nowadays I use a Kodak Easyshare for digital shots. I got it for just under $300 a couple of years ago. I'll see what I can find and post a link.

This one I took a number of years ago with my manual K1000. This is the lake down the street from where I grew up and almost drowned in as a little kid. And these are my two favorite Statue of Liberty shots. The key is to try to have your camera with you as much as possible. I've had more than a few shots before my eyes but no camera, and that just sucks.

There are a number of us here who have done b&w photography at one time or another. I prefer b&w film to digital, though I'll use the channel mixer in Photoshop if need be.
Here's a nice quick pro tip that saves time over the channel mixer, while still getting excellent results:
1.) Create and stack two Hue / Saturation adjustment layers above the layer to be converted into B/W.
2.) The top H/S layer should be in color blending mode with saturation set at -100 (full desaturation).
3.) The lower H/S layer should be in normal blending mode, with zero (normal) saturation and zero lightness adjustment.
=Now you can use the hue slider on the lower H/S adjustment layer to apply all possible color filters in one smooth motion.

I love that because it was radio they had to be more creative about painting a picture through sound effects. And yet the image that was evoked was from your own imagination. Kids don't have that anymore I'm afraid.
I think if parents read to their kids, that helps. I read to the Peanut as often as he asks. Right now we're reading Harry Potter. We read the D'Aulaire book of Greek Myths prior to reading Percy Jackson so he could catch all the references.

re: #106 albusteve
you'd have to pay me to visit England...don't know if it's true but my dad said all the women look like horses
It's not true at all. England has tens of thousands of stunning Indian and Jamaican women, gorgeous ladies everywhere you look.

re: #110 PT Barnum
That's wonderful that you do that. My mother read me the Winnie the Pooh books when I was little and we always had poetry in the house as well as various fairytale collections. It helped foster my own creativity tremendously. It didn't hurt that both of my parents were very literate and creative as well, even though they split up, I still was able to gain from their own artistic abilities.
