That's a beautiful photo. Did you take it yourself? So many talents!

Oh yes indeed, the photo is mine. Usually I'll mention a creator only if it ISN'T mine.

You have a great eye for photography. Is that a hobby?

I have been an amateur / semi-pro photog since high school. I've done weddings, events and some headshots. I did my own headshots on my site though you'd never tell I had any talent from those. I need to redo them soon.

That's an amazing photo Deirdre.

I never seem to have my camera when there is a white church steeple in that just-before-or-after-a-storm weird light. Got a little bit of the cool weird light thing going in this picture out my window this weekend

It's a semi-pro-hobby-kind-of-thing.

I do self portraits, too-- but they tend to be wild, as people on this board can attest.



Also, Joe--
There is no such time as "soon".

Mary-- that's a grand picture. And I know that kind of sky you're talking about!
But sometimes the film or pixels don't see what we saw.

Well, I can't be left out of this loop. Found this fantastic place near Toronto called the Cheltenham Badlands and this is one of the pictures I took there a couple of weeks ago.

Just a bit of a Photoshop hack.
Here's your original:



Took the sponge tool and saturated your focal-point tree:




Another layer is this overlay. I cut some dark neutral grey into the general shape of the sky, and then thrashed about with erasures and additions with different brushes, flows and opacities. Then, I set the layer blend to "darken" at 68% opacity:



Put them together and boom. This is really more likely what your eyes saw.



Pixel cameras just don't have the range and subtleties our eyes do.

I’ll take photographing leaves any day.
During my four year stint in the Navy, I was a Navy Photographer. If it flew or floated… I photographed it. How many people do you know, that had to shoot an autopsy, two weeks before they got married?... Thank you.
Yes... b/w photos and color slides... very educational.

As a photographer myself, that is an amazing shot Diedre! I'm old school though - learned and still prefer my old fully manual Pentax K-100 with some really great optics. I'm trying to get a grip on this whole digital thing - but somehow it doesn't feel the same to me. Part of what I love is what I do in the dark room after I shoot. Oh well - time to get into the new millenium I guess. Anyway - Diedre I wanted to ask you where abouts in New England do you hail from, I'm from North Adams Mass myself. Not now of course, but I was born there and lived there for about 5 years in my early teens. Just curious. I do miss the fall in the Berkshires. Bitchin Tammy

I have a Pentax K-1000 since high school. I still love that camera. I also have a Mamiya 645 which I hardly ever use and my digital a Fuji S9000.

I have a Canon AE1 for film (Fuji, natch!) and I use a Canon Optura 20 for digital video and stills. Tiny bit of megapixel action, but you don't need a ton if you know about light.


Tammy-- You can always delete a post you've made with the little "X" in the upper RH corner of the message window.

I'm in South Berwick, Maine.

And, incidentally you guys--it's "Deirdre".
