So this boat is on private property. <BR> <BR>The good news, <BR>The owner is pretty cool about people shooting and checking out the boat. There's a sign that reads...Take nothing but photos and leave nothing but foot prints. <BR> <BR>The bad news, <BR>You have to get past two of his pissed off dogs to shoot it. <BR> <BR>So I'm rolling up on this boat with camera and tripod in hand and here come the hounds.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/uhoh.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>The first dog was an old dude so he crapped out after the first hundred feet and turned around. The second dog was a big young buck (lab) and he's really pissed off. He charges up to me barking & growling with the hair on his back going straight up. I'm thinking I'm going to have to clock this dog upside the head with my tripod. <BR> <BR>So there we are a few feet apart at a stand off.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>I've been around dogs all my life and my instincts tell me this guy means business. So I look down and there is a nice thick stick about four feet long. I'm thinking I'd rather give him a whack with that than my nice new tripod. <BR> <BR>I slowly bend over to pick up the stick never taking my eyes off my new friend. As I pick up the stick I instantly see his eyes go from, I want to chew you a new A-hole to, are you going to throw that for me ? <BR> <BR>So I throw the stick for him and he goes tearing off after it. We're tight now ! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/559983.jpg" alt="Upload">

Darin, <BR> <BR>1 & 2 are great. 2 might be a bit centered. Killer color in both. <BR> <BR>I find #3 boring.

Nice job on finding the interesting subjects Walt and you're really getting the mood down well with the HDR. That's really a nice way of making what normally would be a pretty lifeless shot given the lack of contrast a real appeal. (either that or B&W and I like the color much better myself) <BR> <BR>I went to Asilomar to shoot birds and saw that rock out cropping about a hundred yards out with the waves really pounding it and that gull was not going to move for anything! <BR> <BR>Here is another one I shot that day, nothing special I just liked the colors of the sea/sky. <BR> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/560078.jpg" alt="Upload">

Hey guys, this is a little parody shot that i did on guitar hero. the images werent quite how i wanted them do to a small space and not being able to kill the backgroud very easily. too much strobe reflection. i seriously want a studio. the other dilema was that i really wanted a fog machine but could not find one. anyway the basic idea behind the shoot is that the guy thinks he is a "soo metal" rockstar because he can play guitar hero. critiques welcome. oh and im fully aware his hand is being cropped off in a couple. tight space. <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/560448.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/560449.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/560450.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/560451.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/560452.jpg" alt="Upload">

Here is a fun one! I think you will enjoy it! <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/562513.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR> <BR>p.s. Josh, I love the guitar hero series. I do think it could use some "80's Mist" though. Fog machines aren't that hard to find. (especially around halloween) Check out a Guitar Center or costume shop. I would just water down the liquid a bit though since it can gunk up the machine.
|
You missed the grab!! That's awesome. How did you do that?
|
And I popped the handle but oh well. HAHA! Its a long exposure using a pen light to "paint a picture" Then you just flash yourself in at the end. It is a lot of fun to do. It is an easy way to kill a couple of hours and a lot of fun!

Adam, <BR> <BR>I know this late snow storm was pretty lame, but, the 2+ feet of powder up @ Mt. Spokane this weekend was sick!! <BR> <BR>Now it's time to hit the water.

Fluffy stuff at Mt. Spokane, doesn't get any better than that! <BR> <BR>I'll post some pics of the coastal snow later on this week.

Nick & Walt, <BR> <BR>I really like both of your beach shots, very nice!

I know it, its getting old. I'm ready for some golf and some wakeboarding. Co-worker said they probably got close to 4 ft at 49 in the last week. Plus it's ski free week all this week! Thought about taking today off but couldn't do it... <BR> <BR>Sorry for the hijack. Great shots Walt, the clouds really make the bridge shots, very nice.

Walt, I'm blown away at all the great shooting places and times you're finding - way to go! <BR> <BR>Ryan - love the tree <BR> <BR>Nick: nice landscapes although in the lighthouse shot the sky is looking kind of a weird blue on my monitor. <BR> <BR>Some macros I did today with a Tamron 90 macro / 25mm extension tube/ Nikon 6T diopter (which is probably about 1.5 to 1. ) <BR> <BR>I thought shooting birds was tough, those darn bugs don't sit still very long and you have to manually focus. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/563695.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/563696.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87667/563697.jpg" alt="Upload">

Rich, <BR> <BR>I really like the macros, very nice!

The fly looks cool but why is the DOF so shallow at f/8 ?
|
Walt, your shots keep getting better and better
|
Walt the shot of the Golden Gate (single pillar) is awesome!! Love the low light stuff
|
Thanks guys. <BR> <BR> <BR>Forrest, <BR>I think you were the one that got me going on the low light stuff. Been shooting lately ?
|
The diopter and the extension tube compresses the DOF down to hardly anything. Plus you can't use AF at all, I had to set the lens and then rock back and forth snapping the pics when the subject comes into focus (tripod no good for bugs, they don't stay still long enough!) The end of the lens is about an inch and 1/2 from the fly/flower/bee.
|
Walt, sick Golden Gate Shots!

Walt, <BR> <BR>Yes, the bird shot was from the Aquarium in Newport, OR. We were there a little to early to have the mass population of birds around in the open from what we were told. Wasn't quite breeding season.

Get those in Mt. Vernon Nick?
|
Your good Tommy! Surprisingly, they weren't covered with snow...
|
Yea, they may be a little over saturated. I'm still trying to figure out this editing program I have. <BR> <BR>Photoshop should be coming soon... <BR> <BR>Is the barn out of focus on that type of shot always going to be typical? If not, how might one fix that?
|
You decide if it's out of focus or not by what F/stop your using. If you want everything sharp then go to a higher f stop. <BR> <BR>IMO the barn is a distraction in this shot. My eye wants to look right pass the flowers to the barn. If the barn was the focal point then you should of focused there. Just my take on it.
