John (300m) > Old Time Reflections
I captured this on the way into work.  One of the views of the marina's I see taking an alternate way in to the office.  I really linked the serene feel to the shot and wanted to try something different on this picture.  I tried for an old time antique feel to the picture.

Thanks for all the comments on the leaves yesterday.  Just proves I am nuts and you folks support my habit  :)  Have a great day
John (300m) > Jan 9 Waterfall
You are getting one from the archives as I had major dental work done on the way home from work.  Bottom line, I hurt.  I am posting this and going to bed after I take a pain pill.  Please enjoy
I was doing good last night, I sent this to the wrong gallery.  Better today, but still sort
John (300m) > June 17:  Daisy in the morning light
I caught this daisy in the early morning light as I wandered around taking pictures while waiting to get my car worked on.  My flat tire from fathers day will not hold air so I had to replace the tire and discovered it an odd size.  I liked the way the light played across the flower and the lingering effects of last nights rain were still present in the center and the pedals.  I liked the effect of both the shadows and the light in this shot.

John (300m) > Card
Christmas card I did for this year.  I am late, enjoy.
John (300m) > Nov 17:  Reflective SP
I took this Monday night, but as I was under the weather most of yesterday and asleep I did not take any pictures so I will use this shot.  Thanks everyone for the well wishes!!  I think the stuff the doc gave me is working as my head and chest feel better today and I am going to work.  Kittens are sad as they had a buddy all day yesterday and a warn bed to sleep on :)  I am using the couch as a tripod here.
Have a great day!
John (300m) > Nov 12: The Silhouette
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) > July 14:  Bad hair day
I caught this little gal early on my daily walk.  There were a pair of herons down in the moat and I was able to get close enough without my usual scaring them away to get some good pictures.  Here is the pair of them on the pipe in the moat   Heron Pair 
The weather was real bad yesterday, heavily overcast, trying to rain so I stayed near the gym facility incase of rain I could run back with my camera.  I have now put a big plastic bag in my gym stuff just in case.  
This gal stood posed on the pipe for me and let me take 4-5 shots.  I  liked this one the best.  18-200mm lens at 135mm leaning over the moat walk fence to get this shot.  The later shot was when I got closer and the male flew in protective :) I took the shot and left them in peace.  Shot was color corrected to remove blue - green cast.
John (300m) > August 2:  Glass Art
When my daughter and I went to the Living Museum on Wednesday she saw that piece of glass art that she liked but could not afford.  Like a good Dad I bought it for her.  I told her I did want to photograph the dolphin as a DP and she said Sure!  I struggled with this yesterday, the reflections, the lighting, the colors of light.  All the odd things that go with multi angle glass work.  In the final product I ended up purchasing a second C123A flashlight, I like the color of light they produce, to due the job.  A drawback to these lights is they get HOT fast.  Trying to hold 2 hot flashlights and the remote trigger while framing the shot and light is a trip.  I ended up getting an inspiration and using my microphone stand to hold one of the light and that helped.  I took about 30 shots before I decided on this combo.  This is a left side shot and a right side shot merged in PS with layers nose to nose.  I made a layer around both dolphins and moved them to a new layer.  The background is the blue off one of the blue stripes and the frame borders are the yellow, green, and red in the pattern.  The depressions/ dark spot on the head is the insets in the glass for the eyes.  We are going to frame this shot and hang it on the wall in my daughters bathroom. I think I am going to have to resize as it is 8.5x24 :)  Have a great day everyone
John (300m) > July 13:  Desert time.
Yesterday was a very hectic day for me and I was rapidly running out of ideas for a POD come 8PM.  My lovely wife had this idea and I ran with it.  This is my daughter's slice of desert that she graciously let me photograph before she ate the piece.  I tried various positions and angles on the fork, that is how it got cool whip on it not from samples, to keep the flashback from the shiny stainless steel fork.  I liked this angle and lighting the best.  Three flashes used in this shot with a home made light box via notes Oliver posted.  1 R1 mounted on top as fill 1 to the side as fill and SB 800 on cord at the side as primary flash.  PS  Kara, my 12 yr old, made the cake.  The streaks are pudding poured in while backing.  Decorated with mandarin oranges.
