11 - Color


Canon 40D 70 -200mm at 70mm, iso 100, 1/2000 sec @ f2.8

This is an image with my favorite color. What color is it? I thought about making the image not so obvious, but the answer is there. First a strong B&W subject, but Black is the color of objects that do not emit or reflect light in any part of the visible spectrum; they absorb all such frequencies of light. White is the color of objects that reflect all parts of the visible spectrum. Sorry for the science. Next you see the reds, oranges and yellows they appear to move toward you. NO, not any of them. And last the touch of blue, hopefully the last color you see in the image. Thanks for taking the journey.

If I remember right (from our first evening at the start of the Feb. '08 RV Death Valley workshop) - BLUE :-)

This is a neat image that is visually appealing on the surface (because of the great colors), and also tells a story in a unique way. The close-up of the tree trunk shows you the nice, natural texture and detail of a tree, and the OOF area hints nicely at the fall colors happening in the nearby forest. I like this a lot - I think it's a very good and unique photo of fall foliage.

96 - Titan - Largest Moon of Saturn

Image
Canon 5DmkII, 16-35mm at 16mm, iso100, 1, 4 & 15 sec at f/13.0, Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, the only moon known to have a dense atmosphere and the only object other than Earth for which clear evidence of stable bodies of surface liquid has been found. Titan is the sixth ellipsoidal moon from Saturn. Frequently described as a planet-like moon, Titan has a diameter roughly 50% larger than Earth's moon and is 80% more massive. It is the 2nd largest moon in the Solar System, after Jupiter's moon Ganymede, and it is larger by volume than the smallest planet, Mercury, although only half as massive. Titan was the first known moon of Saturn, discovered in 1655 by the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens. Titan is primarily composed of water ice and rocky material. Much as with Venus until the Space Age, the dense, opaque atmosphere prevented understanding of Titan's surface until new information accumulated with the arrival of the Cassini-Huygens mission in 2004, in...

85 - A Creative Path

Image
Canon 5DmkII, 16-35mm at 16mm, iso100, 1/6 sec at f/9.5, +CPL I feel like I'm in a creative rut maybe it's the rain, pretty much straight for 3 weeks. I want to think that's the reason but it's probably not. It is to easy to go back to the same place with the same equipment and shoot the same shot with a different sky. I don't want a break I want an idea. So I'll go searching... I know this is a universal phenomena, any comments would be appreciated.
