Rainbow Bridge

Here is another image taken by Brian in our local Folsom community.

Rainbow Bridge, water flow @ ~6000 cfs. Kinda fast
Nikon D80, Sigma 10 – 20mm @ 20mm, f/5.6, 1/125, iso 100, WB 5900
Water flow rate came from:

Ok, most folks with a camera take a photo, it looks good and they move on. Brian is the type of guy to capture details you would not even consider worrying about while taking a shot; like water flow at the time you took an image. That is impressive, and why his shots turn out so good.

The reflection is natural and crisp. Very cool.

Thanks again Brian

Your Brain on Alcohol

This is a fun picture taken by our resident photo scoop Alexey.
As usual, what we see here in office all the time takes a new spin when it is done in black and white.

Thank you sir.

Alexey comes through again with a black and white photo. I like the silhouette captured on the plant.
I hope you enjoy this as well.

Beat the Heat

This pup has the right idea when it comes to this summers heat.
Jason H. was kind enough to capture some nice shots of his dog at play.
He was using a 70-200mm 2.8 lens with this shot. Very well captures.

Lady Bug

I think this Lady Bug took a dump on my car.
This showed up just after I washed my car. I know that little spec was that there before.

The Butterfly Effect

A butterfly photo is placed on this blog and and the entire site is sent into a chaotic state of existence with Black becoming White, Up becoming Down and me winning the lottery.

This is another submission from one of the many friends that help to keep this site going. Thank you all for your contributions.

Start Your Engines

Another black and white attempt of mine. This model was kind enough to hit a quick pose for me while I snapped the shot with her between two exotic cars. I think my UV and Shade filters helped with the image when it was converted to this form. I am actually enjoying do black and whites.

Yellow Balloon

admin — Tue, 04 May 2010 17:17:36 +0000

You have seen a few posts here where black and white in combination with a color adjustment has been done. I have tried it a few times but Jason H. demonstrates one of the best examples of how it is done with this wonderful photo. The subject is his Niece and a set of Yellow Balloons.

This is very well done and captured.
