Photo Stream /pics/dimaging/749727 Fallen 5. Nearing the end of this horrible series, this is a little tamer shot than the previous ones, only a couple more left and then back to a more delightful series. Thanks for viewing. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=116449&1=1 WARNING!!! VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED!!! Fallen 4. Deep in the woods, penetrated and pinned. Slugs and all. :) I left this one fully colored to possibly display more realism, also the focal point as you can see is on the attacker as intended, leaving the victim slightly blurred within the background. We had to shoot this one several times before capturing it this way, the intent was to leave <B>some</B> imagination for the viewer. Thanks for looking. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=116420&1=1 WARNING!!! VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED!!! Fallen Three! This next series will be short, but some may find it offensive and/or disturbing, or both, however like it or not it's a form of art that is real and does happen every single day. Possibly an area of art that has never been presented as much as it should. Thanks for view. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=116404&1=1 This is a test, nothing but a test and a test only. :P http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=116328&1=1 Clarity. Shot from the same location as the previous reddish sky shots, it's amazing what a few hours difference can make. Thanks for viewing. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=116276&1=1 HDR-H20-3A. I wasn't going to post this one, but from the response the last one got I thought you may want to see what the scene looked like as it was quickly fading away. Not as intense as the last shot but I still thought it turned out pretty good. :) Thanks for view. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=116174&1=1 HDR-H2o-THREE! ~Experimental~ This was shot early this morning actually before the sun ever came into site, it was almost completely dark in fact. This scene only lasted about 15 seconds and was sucked up by black thunder storm clouds (which also made for a good image) I'm just glad I was there, ready and set up when it presented itself. And yes, the water in this lake is sometimes extremely muddy as it appears here, the bottom was cracked from a near by mining explosion several years ago and it has been muddy since, at times more than others. Thanks for viewing. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=116155&1=1 Dusk. Beginning of a new series I hope you'll enjoy. Thanks for viewing. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=116119&1=1 Shot during the golden hour. Playing with DOF and light, very simplistic but there was just something I liked about the shot, hope you find something you like about it as well. Thanks for view. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=116090&1=1 Rollin! http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=115928&1=1 Summer winding down. Hay ready to be stored, gardens ready to be harvested, and what appears to be a loch ness monster in the image, :) I have no clue what that is! Thanks for view. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=115320&1=1 godzilla...GODZILLA! Anyone care to guess what breed this is? ;) http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=115060&1=1 Killer storm! This isn't a shot I would normally post, but I thought it looked kind of cool. Shot yesterday evening at sun down as a major storm formed in the east, the evening sun played magical mysteries with the colors of this cloud as it formed and then moved on east away from me. It didn't rain a drop where I was, but east of me got hammered with heavy rain, hail and lightning. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=115031&1=1 HDR H20-2 Not sure if I like this one or not, testing some techniques on clipping of the dark areas while hopefully giving better appearance to all else. Quite windy when this was shot also, but I think that added something magical to it. Thanks for viewing. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=114919&1=1 The calm before the storm. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=114656&1=1 Dares something awful stwewy dawn on awound heew. :P http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=114595&1=1 The end of a long hot day. Thanks for view. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=114325&1=1 Home sweet home. Not mine, but someones. Thanks for viewing. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=114258&1=1 Fiery river, and three tiny little boats. Shot from moving vehicle. Thanks for view. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=114250&1=1 As much dynamic range as I could possibly achieve WITHOUT HDR. Thanks for viewing. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=114184&1=1 YGM! ~testing~ http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=114070&1=1 Mind boggler, YOU figure it out. lol Thanks for view. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=114007&1=1 Let there be light! The light of my life, well one of them. Grandson, three years old. Would you go as far as to call it a form of art? Thanks for view. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=113574&1=1 You gonna stand there all day or FEED ME? :) Thanks for viewing. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=113470&1=1 :Experimental: Breaking ALL the rules? I setup the cam and tripod facing into the sun practically. The goal was to see just how much dynamic range I could get without HDR and with all the odds against me. Under the circumstances I was pretty happy with the outcome and learned some metering tricks. Thanks for view. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=113416&1=1 Innocence. Venturing into a changing world so very much more complicated than the world they now know. If only we could assure them life would always be as it is in this photo and better yet, be able to back it up. Thanks for viewing. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=113272&1=1 Experiment. A play on light from within. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=113252&1=1 HDR H20. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=113241&1=1 It reminds me once again, it's not the equipment that always counts, but sometimes just having the eye and being at the right place at the right time. Took my little Z3 out for a stroll this evening, and this is what I captured with it. Thanks for view. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=113190&1=1 Fallen 2. Dazed depressed and confused with little to no outlook on life or self-esteem, this image I think represents an extremely darkened corner of life in reality for some. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=112804&1=1 Fallen!! The image speaks for itself. Dark dingy and dirty, though a way of life for many it must be hell on earth. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=112710&1=1 Ghost town USA. Back about 1880 this town was established about a mile from a small community known as Gauley Mills, this town was known as Lanes Bottom WV. It later became one of the major timber producers in the country as it grew. They transported logs from here to Charleston by way of the Gauley River until railroads were built in mid to late 1880's. Later the town name was changed to Camden-on-Gauley because it was located on the Gauley River not far from the rivers head, and so it wouldn't be confused with other areas that beared the name Camden. The name also was used because the WV senator at the time <a href="http://www.wvculture.org/History/businessandindustry/camdenjohnson02.html">Johnson Newlon Camden</a> helped in developing it so it was named after him. In the 1950's it was quite large and booming business' were plentiful but it has slowly died since then. Now, only a shell of a town still exists. There are some people still live there, still has a post office as seen in the pic, but the streets are usually as you see them here, empty, and all the business' have closed. I have some old photo's my grandfather took of the place back in the early 1900's. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=112668&1=1 Be Ye Also Ready http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=112157&1=1 Can you see it? While driving down the road today we spotted something in the field. I was just thinking what I nice shot the fields might make when suddenly my traveling companion said "LOOK over there in that field!" :) Thanks for viewing. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=112033&1=1 Old and rustic, yet something I find interesting and beautiful in it's own way for a subject. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=112013&1=1 Mich = Killer eyez! http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=111969&1=1 A friend called me and wanted me to shoot some landscape shots of his farm to send to Florida to his son. I thought most of them turned out quite nicely. This one in particular caught my eye when post processing and I wanted to share it. It was taken late evening just shortly before a major rain storm hit. I call it the end of "A hard days work." http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=111492&1=1 I HAD to do it, this old house had black and white written all over it. Put yourself in the time frame of 1955 and give it a view. :) Thanks for looking. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=111242&1=1 HDR Barn, the wind really played a part in this one but at least no people showed up in it. :) Thanks for viewing. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=111032&1=1 HDR Rainbow sky. The whole sky was beginning to look like a rainbow just before the sun peeped over the horizon. Single shots could not capture the true DR and colors of this beautiful sky but HDR did, this is exactly the way I saw it. This was actually the very first shot that morning, taken before the sun was even viewable. This will be the last shot of this area. Thank you for viewing. http://www.dslreports.com/showpic/dimaging?lid=110978&1=1
