Project 365 2011: ohkphoto

[ohkphoto]

Thanks, Bill! I really got to know my tripod on this one . . . Legs go all the way out and the center column tilts so that the camera was about 3 inches off the ground.

"Cemetery at Sunset"

Drove around for two hours looking for an interesting doorway for the weekly challenge. No luck.

If you think about it, it is a doorway...

That's absolutely amazing!

OMG, this took my breath away when I read it. Didn't make the connection because I was so busy with the mechanics of photography. Thank you for your perception, PhotoAv8r.

Best Regards

"Country Fence"

 

[jengajoh]

That's beautiful! Did you use a diffusion filter, or anything?

 

[ohkphoto]

Thanks, Jen. I used one of the soft filters (Color Efex Pro by Nik software) in post processing. Great plug-ins with this software and great effects. You can be as dramatic (or as subtle) as you want.

Best Regards

Helene, I really like this shot. It has a lot of "feel" to it and creates a certain back in time feeling.
Lovely shot.

Marcel, thank you so much for your comments.

I use the low tech method, lay on the ground.

Lovely shot, Helene. I like the overall softness of the photo. Like Marcel said, a nice nostalgic feeling to it.

Not bad for a retired Naval Aviator, eh?

You may not say much, but when you do, it's pretty profound.

Thanks, Jack. Feeling kind of nostalgic this week . . . must be the weather!

Definitely a 'hang it on the wall' kind of shot, Helene. Gorgeous!

Jen and Jack, thank you for your comments. I don't do water well (since we have so little opportunity here) so I have to really work at it.

"Sunny Smile"

Thought it was time to practice portrait mixed lighting. Used the d200 flash in commander mode and an SB-900 as remote TTL (Creative Lighting System). Honl grid on flash. PP with Nik filters in CS5.

For an otherwise nice shot, in my humble opinion, I find there's too much light in the middle of her hair, none at the top of her head, and none at the bottom of her hair. Deep shadow on the front of her, too. Just the way I see it, Helene.
