Love that new photo...but why does that moon seem so out of place ???
pretty but out of place

[edit on 2-2-2006 by BaastetNoir]

I sasid the same thing. THe moon looked like it was an "after market add on"
to the photo.

BaastetNoir & Mizar - nothing escapes your eyes?

Yes, I added the Moon in PhotoShop later - but it was shot on the same spot on the same day, only the moon was behind me, when I was taking this shot. I should have "blended" it more to the Background, it stands out too much, right?

I'm new to this thread and I've absolutely no clue about digital photography. I welcome constructive criticism though.

maybe cloud it a litle more... and make less round...like half... casue the light of the sky doesnt match that size of moon...i mean when there is that much light in the sky the moon is usually more belnded in...like you said...

Also, if you look at the moon in daylight, the areas that are usually dark gray or black at night become a similar tone of blue as the sky. Try that in addition to the other things said.

You should also flip the moon so that the lit side is facing to the left, since the rest of the photo has the sunlight coming from the left. And yes, also fade it against the blue sky a little. Assuming it's on a sepperate layer, just adjust its opacity.

Thomas Crowne: That's awesome, I never knew there was a monument to that. One learns something new every day. Except yesterday. I don't think I learned anything new yesterday.

Thomas Crowne, I really like that rustic compooter picture!


Well, here I go with one of the citybirds again.

Taken with a handheld Nikon D70 & Tamron 500mm tele, on full zoom, through a window.

The Boll Weevil monument just plain cracks me up...

Great sense of irony too with that flashy PC and the rustic kerosene lamps - Nice computer case BTW!

As usual, there's some great work in these past few pages...I like the choice to use selective saturation there Baastet...Very eerie...

You've really got that handheld telephoto business down Ulvetann - My 300mm gives me enough problems with wobble...It would be even better if the focus was actually clean at that distance, but I'm usually left with having to stay at around 150mm to get the clarity I want - Clearly not a problem though with Tamron though - Gorgeous shots...

I’ve been in a bit of a lull right now – Not much new work to share…I’ve been busy with work…GRE…graduate school app…But I’ve got a few from not too long ago I’ll go ahead and post while I’ve got the time

Something I don’t do too often here…An inverted photo of a cypress swamp at a local park…


A duck drifting off in the background...Taken at a local park…


Nothing real special here, but I thought the glow from the doorway and the striated clouds made for an interesting contrast…

EnronOutrunHomerun: The one with the leaves is beautiful. I need to start looking for some more interesting subjects around here. I've about exhausted the 500 feet around me...

Thanks Enron...I'm glad the my intent in saturating that photo is transmited to the viewers

Night Is Coming



[edit on 6-2-2006 by BaastetNoir]

My dad's been doing a lot of welding lately. I've had too many sparks photos on my blog already, but I liked this one so I thought I'd post it here. Maybe it'll show up on my blog in a few months or so.

Here are some pics from Shanghai and Bangkok.

The first three are from this crazy tunnel that connects the older side of shanghai to the newer side (Pudong). For the trip you stand in a little cart on rails while a light show comes on. I set my camera on a tripod and did some long exposures. The last image is on top of an 88 storey building in Bangkok. The top of the building rotates, again tripod + long exposure.

Under here...



Winter wonderland

the subway pics are awsome...love those colors...

Bandar Paul: The tunnel pictures are awesome. I love them.

BaastetNoir: Really like the snow on the branches.

This was my anti-Valentines Day picture on my blog yesterday. I pledged in ATS Chat that I'd do something completely opposite of Valentines Day and I think I succeeded. Sort of a political statement too, although I'm not sure exactly what about. Draw your own conclusions.


Then I liked the result of aging the photo, so I did the same to today's.
