John (300m) > August 28:  Roanoke Island Lighthouse
I shot this in the rain as I was determined to get the shot.  I did this as a 5 shot HDR as the weather was bad.  As you can see it was raining and I was standing holding my coat over the camera to keep it dry while I took the shot.  Straight from the basic settings in Photomatix no LR adjustments.
John (300m) > August 6:  Creamsicle
I did my usual walk at lunch yesterday, but ran into an old coworker and we walk and chatted.  I ended up only taking a few shots.  I saw this one just before I went back into the gym to shower.  They had a sprinkler out side adding water at noon to plants.  I looked funny running to grab a shot and run out between the oscillations of the sprinkler.  I added a filter to this and like the effect so I left this and you see my POD.  The effect is Indian Summer and it fit the hot swelter day I took the shot in.
John (300m) > Nov 9: Before the rain
I went to my favorite spot yesterday morning early with the intent of capturing a early fall morning on the water here.  However mother nature had other ideas as it started to drizzle when I got there.  I setup anyway and took some shots as I had drove 30 miles to get this shot.  By the time I finished it was raining and I was getting wet.  I was determined to get a few shots and this one shows the light leaving and the storm over the trees.  The sun was behind me in this shot and I think that is the only reason I go this shot,  Enjoy the weekend
John (300m) > Dec 12:  Expression
I am still fighting something so I did not go out in the rain yesterday for a shot.  I was processing some of my Disney shots and came across this shot I wanted to share.  Happy Friday.  My wife is having a procedure in the hosp today so it will be late before I can comment.
John (300m) > Last Catch
Captured a fisherman coming in at sunset on the James River.  14-24mm ultra wide lens  This was the last in the series I took with the rented lens before I shipped it back to BorrowLens.com  The sun was out for a day and I was making the best of it.  Just love the way the sky looks with an Ultrawide lens.  Really impressed with this lens as there is little pincushion effect.
John (300m) > April 23:  Lilly of the Valley.  
I took a big group of shots today, but with overhauling our fish tank.  New rocks, pump, plants and recycling 35 gals of water I have not had a chance to look at most of the 80 picture I have in LR.  I did run Helicon focus on 3 different stacks in between cleaning the tank.  This and the bug I caught on the rosemary turned out well.  This shot is straight from the camera no PP sans focus stacking 4 shots.  This lilly had opened fully between yesterday and today so I thought I had better get my shot before the bloom fades.  I was real happy with this shot to the point that I have not even looked at the remainder that I took today.  
EXIF:  The same for all 5 shots in the series
D200 on a tripod 
105mm macro
1/60 sec
f/13
- 1/3 EV
ISO 160
Nikon R1 lighting system, used both flashes one on the ring one hand held
John (300m) > Perspective!
It all in your point of view.  Shot taken with a 14-24mm lens.  I was laying on the pier taking this shot.  My camera was literally 2" above the water on a floating dock.  An Ultra wide gives you a very different perspective and view on the subject.
John (300m) > The Tuner (Tooner) Challenge...11/03/08
The Challenge: Create a photo with your interpretation of the word, "Tuner (Tooner)."
The Participants: Kre8ive, Bill Pador, Karina Boese, jawsnap, Creative Deviance, Lady Kate, and myself. 
The Result: Sperzel Tuners
For my shot I took this picture of my Carvin CC275 guitar with the Sperzel tuners.  The shot shows off the abalone inlay in the headstock  with the gold tuners on the mahogany wood.  I use the tuners to tune the strings so I can play in key.
John (300m) > Nov 20:  Lines
I took this shot while walking and I liked what I saw.  I was captivated by the lines in the shot.  I converted this to B&W in PS to get the look I wanted and that was it.  I just liked this shot and the way it looked.  Happy Thursday
