I captured this tree for  a shot I was thinking of as I liked the way it looked and the statement it made against the blue sky.  I exposed for the sky using spot metering and took the shot.  The only processing is to raise the black threshold a little and to dodge the bottom where a car's shiny back end was showing.  Have a good day

John (300m) > Oct 29: Expressions in Black & White
I did a short walk yesterday at lunch.  It was cold and all I had was a thin windbreaker.  Guess old man winter had to visit sooner or later :)  While walking I saw this leaf on my way back and I liked the way it sat in the puddle and the wind was blowing it around the puddle in the parking lot.  I really liked the texture and feel of the shot and I wanted to do something with this shot.  I went into PS and just started adjusting different positions on the black & white conversion to I found what my vision said was there.  The new adjusting tool in CS4 is nice, like in LR so adjusting the tone in 1 spot was a lot easier to do.  I did save my thoughts in the note area with the note tool after a hint on how it worked, thanks K.  I did do a texture shot that I got the idea from Lyndon on and I have placed the shot here.   Texture Have a great day everyone.

I saw this on my walk yesterday at lunch.  I was in a bit of a daze and funk as that was how the day was going.  Tired cause I stayed up to late again and tired as I was very busy.  I took a bunch of shot, but really had no idea for pictures.  Same area a lot and you miss things or have seen to much of that thing.  I spotted this down by the fishing boats, one of the trees is actually showing color!  I snapped about 6 shots and moved on back to work happy I had something I thought was worth wild.  I cannot wait for all the other trees to change to usable colors beside brown.
Happy Friday Folks!

John (300m) > Sept 28:  Fall Colors after the rain
It was a slow day spent working around the house this afternoon doing chores and such.  With the off and on rain I did not see much to photograph.  I was looking out the back window when I saw the rain trough the trees and the sun peeking through.  I was intrigued and got my camera.  I took a few shots, but the light was low so I grabbed my 70-200 and took a group at f/2.8  I really liked this shot with the clear picture and the water.  One leave with the red-yellow of fall and the other a green of summer.  Have a great day  I put a few others up in the Fall Colors directory.    Fall Colors   It the first 3 shots.  All the shots were hand held as was this one.
John (300m) > Sept 26:  Color in the rain
I took my car into service yesterday morning so I decided to take my wife to breakfast after we dropped my car off.  I took a few shots at the dealership and some gong down the road as my wife drove.  I spied this shot on the way in and took a bunch available light but they were not very good as I had camera shake.  Lowest ISO on this one is 400 and usable is 200.  I used 100 and the flash to capture this shot.  I really liked the way the colors and the light hit the leaves in this shot.  In lightroom I added +5 black and +10 Clarity
Have a good weekend everyone
