wtnhighlander Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Love that shot, Gary! The monochromatic theme and the exposure created a very pleasing contrast between the hyper-realistic still objects and the surreal softness of the flowing water. Very nice!

Gary Beasley Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 I found out my D750 has super low ISO adjustments so I can do blurred water shots with it. Still out on the road so cant post anything. This opens up a whole new avenue of fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 750 is a good camera.The low ISO is very helpful for getting that water motion blur while not needing to carry a neutral density filter. 17 hours ago, Gary Beasley said: Tiny waterfall at Banning Mills in Georgia That's a really good looking picture.

Chip Sawdust Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 My manager worked on Warthogs back in the day. I think I posted some pics of a model I built; I "loaned" it to him (can't give managers gifts). The cool part was it was an airplane he actually worked on! He has three or four A-10 models. That gun and all the underwing attach points make it one awesome machine. They talk about retiring it but there's nothing else that con do the job it does. Close ground support has saved a lot of American lives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gary Beasley Posted July 11, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 My alt process endeavors are progressing. I built a work area in front of the darkroom that I can control the lighting in, and put a nine foot workbench along the wall. That let me resurrect an old platemaking vacuum contact frame I can use for my prints. I moved my uv led bars to a thin sheet of plywood hinged to the wall so I can drop it over the vacuum frame to expose the print. Just got a few prints done today. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the full story is that this cardinal flies into two of our window dozens of times a day. It perches in the bushes and then flies up to the window and pecks at it and kicks his feet against it for a few seconds and then returns to the bush. At first I thought he must be catching little bugs or something, but then I realized that he is probably seeing his reflection and thinking another male has moved in on his turf. I haven’t unpacked my DSLR gear to take proper pictures yet, but I’ve done a few slow-mo videos on my phone which are neat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working in the yard yesterday and got to watch 2 male Cardinals fighting over a female. They were making quite the ruckus. At first I thought a hawk was in a tree near me as that's the only other time I've heard the birds freak out so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chestnut Posted July 29, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 A few days ago the sky was vivid orange yellow. A storm was rolling through. Not great pictures but interesting. These are not modified this is honestly what it looked like. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlyoak Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 This is an orchid that is from tropical Northern Australia. Much like the weather here in south Florida. Growing on a ponytail palm in my front yard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Took the pooch out for her 9:00 pm walk, and noticed a cool lighting effect in the sky. High clouds were catching some reflected light, although the sun was well below the horizon. Note the stars in the sky. Focus isn't perfect, I didn't take time to grab a tripod. ISO 400, 1.8 Apeture, 4.28 mm focal length, 30 seconds of exposure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 That's facinating, Gary! What was the motorized device you ran during the exposure? Sounded like a pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
