It's getting to the "push come to shove" time of year at school. At least someone missed me....sigh.

I like the angle of this shot, so many time we shoot straight on.

Let the wild rumpus begin!

Considering the ladies were already well into their 70's, I fear their stories can no longer be told. One of my short comings is I never thought about oral histories in those days.

The first images is outstanding; what a contrast, rock and sheet metal.

It's like when people climb mountains, because they are there.

When people ask me "Why did you shoot that?"

I say, because it was there. Then they give me that look.

X -- without doubt, "Yay, modern cameras." The real difference is the native size of the file -- this image will print 13x19.5 without any up-res'ing. As to the noise at ISO3200, I'll admit that I had under exposed this image by maybe one stop, and that is a guaranteed noise maker when you have to adjust the exposure in Camera Raw.

Really lovely image. I'm actually somewhat amaze...

2009-09-26T16:45:54.591-05:00

Really lovely image.

I'm actually somewhat amazed that the 5DII exhibits as much noise as this. Not because it's bad -- as you say, it's amazing -- but because my $550 Olympus E620 with a sensor that so many forum-trolls disparage produces output that compares so favorably to a $2000 full-frame camera. The practical difference appears to be at most a stop. I also agree about IS. Just remarkable what it lets you do. Yay, modern cameras!

That is amazing, great detail. I just recently str...

That is amazing, great detail. I just recently strayed into the higher ISO with a P&S Nikon at a Heart and Journey concert.

David;
Yeah, I've been thinking about that a lot lately....just need to get some more scans done so I can get a better feel for all the images.

Don and Sher: week one down, and this coming week is a short one. So far, so good.

Steve: I still stare at that image.

Love the Reality Theatre Frank. I think it's time for you to do another book.

Love the image from Waco, TX - just couldn't take my eyes off of it!

I am enjoying your "tree show". It's like taking a hike into the forest without leaving home.

Billie: Headed? No place in particular, I'm just puttin' stuff out there to see how people respond. Since I have bunches of images that dialoged alike, why not show my interest has been continuing. That's all, no hidden agenda.

Paul -- I remember reading that about aspens. I have to admit that I've alway wanted to make a definitive aspen grove image, but haven't gotten there, yet. Not that I haven't tried. It's like the holy grail of the classical western landscape image. I'll try to find some others.

Ganging these photos by subject matter, is quite intriguing. Where is this headed? or do you know yet?

Love all of them! Hope there are more to follow.

Trees. Mmmmm.

So the interesting thing about Aspens is that they propagate with runners underground. So when you're standing in a grove of Aspens, although they appear to be individual trees, it's actually all one organism.

It's almost certainly an old movie theater.

That being said I would have loved to go in and see what they had for sale.

GREAT pics BTW Frank, keep 'em coming!
