Not sure what to say, Subvet, the sky was just that way, and the sensor on the camera must be good.
"I only use Nikons", lol. Shooting at the break of dawn through sunrise might be offering benefits I can't explain.
By the way, not sure if you caught my post in the non-cigar retailers thread, that if you want to order a cigar
print, you get a free one with purchase, because you ordered prints from me before I had my 5hi+ fully together.
Not sure how well taken care of you were given that fact.

Here is a shot I gathered last night at a gig in Memphis. I rode around town trying to hit 3 separate gigs,
and the entire night was a comedy of errors, until I got to a safe haven of sorts, the Center for Southern Folklore,
where what i do is FULLY appreciated. I got poked with a cover charge at one place I used to do really nice work in helping
them publicize, so I left there instead of paying. Was at another gig that was an evening to raise funds for the NIBI Walk,
a Water project with some native Americans to renew the Ohio River. I waited 40 mins for them to start (late) and then by
the time the show started, they said "No photos, please". WTF? LOL, no skin off my nose, it just surprised me. I think they
meant no photos of the Native Ceremonies, but I didn't stick around to find out, they already had me late. but then I just
decided to go to the CFSF downtown.

The one with the perfect orange bokeh is suitable for printing and selling. NICE photo.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Thanks Brad. The only good things about the ice storm were the photo opportunities. I have at least a couple of weekends' worth of tree damage to clean up once the snow, and ice melts a bit.

Jeff, thanks for all the London stuff. Was supposed to be stationed in England, but was sent to North Carolina instead.
NICE, but not the same. Always wanted to go. People there are cool.

Re: Photography Thread
 

More photos from this great night of music. SO POORLY promoted that I was basically the only person in the small venue.
I think the manager/promoter needs to think harder about how she handles her gigs.

Sunrise is coming down in New Aw-LEANS. The river is low here, I never saw a sand bar there.
I understand it is REALLY LOW now. Won't be long, though that thaw will be rollin down the river.

Fog on the water on the Caney Fork River. East Tennessee. This river is crossed by Interstate 40 5 times in just a few miles,
and I always want to stop and take photos because every crossing is photogenic. But there is always a ton of traffic
behind me or I am in a hurry to avoid falling asleep at the wheel near my destination 10 hours away. But this time it was
raining and no one was on my butt and I felt I could give it a shot.

Love the pics of the snow Mark! The last one with the birdhouse is my favorite I think. :tu

Re: Photography Thread
 

I like the one that looks like cotton bolls.

I went out last night, speaking of cotton, on the Arkansas side of the river. A Flickr friend wanted to go out
and shoot by the river, and it had come up a good bit since last time I was out there. At first I was apprehensive,
but there was no trouble with railroad maintenance two-track roads, outside of some mud that was avoidable.

I put a texture on this which I rarely do, and turned it B&W, too....scene just called for it.

Re: Photography Thread

Re: Photography Thread
 

Well, when I say that my photo called out to be texturized, you can see here, that the photo and all that was before me
was basically sepia to begin with, just a tan landscape from hell.

http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8b868be7.jpg

So I fixed it up really good.

iPhone pic of a gentleman reading and smoking up at HoC this past weekend. I felt awkward taking the pic but thought that him being backlit and pausing to look at his smoke was too good to pass up.

Not a groundbreaking pic by any means but it turned out better than I expected for a shoot-from-the-hip iphone pic. lol

Re: Photography Thread
 

I needed to do more than find an old pic and cut him out, I needed to work on it and blend it well.
But I got distracted by WORK of all things and blew it off, haah. I also wanted it to stand out and thought
he might get lost if I made it too good.

Memphis Bridges Sunset Flow - Nikon D7000 - Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G DX by Brad-(OLS), on Flickr

Re: Photography Thread
 

For those of you with Nikons, and not too many lenses, you might want to pay close attention to this listing:
http://www.adorama.com/US%20%20%20%20620147.html

When I see these this cheap, I usually BUY THEM, since I can always use a fast lens on hand that I can attach
to a body for sale or other use, rain, beach, etc. ANYWAY, at $54, this is a pretty SHARP lens and at a decent
portrait focal length for a crop sensor body. I would rather have the 35mm, but it is $174 used, so I back up 4 steps.
Normally I would say these things go FAST at $54, but many times its ME that buys em. But I only learned to buy
them so fast when I would THINK about it for ten minutes and it would be gone. SO if you want a good, fast,
cheap lens, jump on it now. It is in 'Very Good" condition, which some people would pause at, but I have generally
found their V classified stock to be pretty good. Its only at G that I tend to pass, unless its a D700 for $950.

Jordan Allena last night playing a show for Operation Homefront in Memphis, TN.
This is 35mm, but I took my 200mm f/4 AI manual focus lens last night,
and it really made me happy again.
