Trip gone bad

The trip to Athens did not go very well. I did not allow my self enough time to shoot, so needless to say I didn’t get a lot of good images; may be next time. But I did get back to Buford in time to catch the sunset. The two images are the sunset here in Buford./>style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: blo...

Presidential Inauguration from Sweet Auburn – MLK Park

Today I went to MLK Park for the Inauguration, and well it was cold, bone chilling cold. Photo taking was limited because only so many turned out to watch in the cold. I think there was a photographer or TV person for about every 5 people; a lot of cameras going click. Once I get my computer virus under control I will post the remainder of my phot...

Return to film

Today was an awakening for me. I started shooting film again. I don't mean just a couple of shoots or something. I actually picked several rolls. I might try some stuff like cross processing and some of the other proccessing methods that I don't do very much of with the digital camera. The surprising thing was, I had to relearn my old rebel camera. It is so lite compared to the 5d; I was holding it in one hand and spinning the fill flash with the other hand. Any way just a little thought of mine today. I don't have many, so I thought I would share it with other camera folks. Of course, I don't have photos because I didn't feel like hanging out around E6. When I get them I'll share them, perha...

Chattahoochee River, Whirlpools

Long exposures of the Chattahoochee River can create these smooth looking swirls. This was a 4 second exposure at F/32 with a 300 mm lens. I did some photo'n filters and brush strokes to make it appear like a painting. Printed it on canvas and it look suprisingly ok. The small or LR version here makes in hard to see but a larger image is on my flic...
