Project 365 - 2011 AxeMan

Day 159
Is it live or is it Memorex?

Have some storms skirting me just to the north, so out trying to finish off my Weekly Challenge. Had some time to kill to see if storms got closer, and found these in a graveyard. Some of the best looking "Fake" flowers I have ever seen.

Still holding off on my Challenge entry. I might have a shot at something later today or early tonight. If not I have plan "C" in place

Day 160
A day late, and a dollar short.

Thanks Mother Nature.

 

[Carolina Photo Guy]

But its a fantastic panny!

 

[jengajoh]

I agree, nice job!

 

[Vermontster]

Very nice Rick. Is this multiple spliced images or one cropped one? Not that it matters as far as the beauty of it.

 

[AxeMan - Rick S.]

It's a four shot hand held panoramic, put together in CS5. CS5 does such a swell job, I can hand hold and use the viewfinder grid to line up my next shot, and let the software do the rest.

 

[Vermontster]

Haven't done that with CS5 yet. I will make a point to try it out. Thanks Rick

Day 161
And now for something completely different.

Guess it was a good thing Strawberries were on sale instead of Toilet Paper eh?

 

[Vermontster]

Very nice close-up Rick. I guess we'll have to see how you present the toilet paper when it is on sale next week

 

[AxeMan - Rick S.]

Sorry, you're going to have to wait till fall when it's "Home Coming". This way I can TP my neighbor's house again and get away with it.

 

[Browncoat]

Agreed. Strawberries are much more photogenic than TP.

 

[Carolina Photo Guy]

Agreed. Strawberries are much more photogenic than TP.

Ain't neither one of 'em worth much USED!!

Lovely lighting on the strawberry Rick, and super nice Bokeh too.

Day 162
Carnival Carny

Cloudy today, tried to go to a car show for a shot and came back with a "Carny"

 

[Vermontster]

Excellent portrait. I'm surprised Christine didn't suggest that you go B&W.

 

[AxeMan - Rick S.]

I wanted to go Black and White, but I think it has more feeling in color. In B&W you lose the dirt on his hands and the Carnival Color and lights in the back round.

Once I finish I'll post here in my gallery.

On the other hand, there is a grittiness in B&W that is NOT present in Color. In color, the guy looks almost like a caricature of carney. In B&W he almost looks menacing!

I'll go with the B&W. It tells a more interesting story.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[jengajoh]

Either way he doesn't look happy. Nice shot though.
