random pics that YOU have taken.......

[DonDavis]

Good grief Byron. I NEVER tire of your pics. There should be a thread that only you can post onto!!


Arizona sunset.

Third time is a charm. Longer light streaks and a little more detail of the surrounding dark areas.

Dave, what were your settings for those shots?

Very cool.

Hi Kurt,

Nice shot! It conveys forward motion and gives a feeling for the road as well.

Settings from tonight:
#1 ISO 200, s/20" @ f/29
#2 ISO 200, s/30" @ f/25

[slodave]

Todd,

You are an artist(musical) - no fair. All of your shots are outstanding. BTW, you left your g-string on the bed in the last pic.

Dave:

Do you use a handheld meter or in camera meter?



My Daughter and I made a series of these types of shots with a flashlight!

Kurt,

Cool, painting with light! Fun stuff. Ah, the crow, very smart, but very dull colored subject. BTW, you have a little "bokeh" going on in the background, nice.

Built in light meter. Funny thing though, my dad suggested that I shoot ISO 200,f/2x,s/20". When I setup, and first focused, the built in meter gave me the same reading for shutter, once I dialed in the f stop. I was in manual mode.

With a blue filer hand held in front of the lens. I made a mistake on the exposure time.

Don't tell that to the crow!



I guess your Dad may have shot a few pictures before?



Here's my last for the night - taken in Leucadia (while I was evacuated!) looking to the southeast as the Witch Creek Fire raged:

[slodave]

The last shot is nice as well. I remember seeing this and a few others on the fire thread. 18mm gives a nice wide angle. The street poles gives a nice tallness to the image even though it looks like you are hand holding, standing up? I have a filter that would have really brought out the sky/smoke.

As for my dad, I think he has been into photography for about about 45-50 years now...

Eh, here's his website. He rarely lets anyone know about it...

A little after sunset. At the beginning of Mulholland Dr. looking towards DT Los Angeles, the 101 freeway is in view as well.

Now that is cool, Dave! Nice.

Best,

Thanks Kurt!

EXIF: ISO 200, f/32, s/20", 125mm with a 2XND Grey filter (hand held). Camera was on a tripod!

Todd, I like the B&W switch shot. Maybe I'm a close-up dork, but it just works for me.
