crazy stuff happening over here

I figured I needed a warm up before next weekends epic airshow at Chino. Beale AFB.





You will not find this formation anywhere else in the world.

The climb rate of a U2 is insane. This is a normal takeoff.



I knew Yaks were small, but damn.

Not a B25... A PBJ-1D




Those are just a few highlights that I've found, I shot a lot of pics.

What does smugmug do? I'm genuinely curious. I hadn't heard about them until this Flickr acquisition.

I’ve used it to host my portfolio for a few years. Reasonable monthly expense, flexible pricing for prints, good margins, great quality and fast shipping.

It’s just convenient for forum viewing. If you want to see my high res portfolio, go to www.pacificexposure.smugmug.com

Nicely done. That's a good collection of photos. I really like the astro one and the flowers pano right after it

Hey friends. Been creeping on here for a few month since starting my S50 swap project. Thought I'd share some of my favorite shots from over the years. For years I shot with a Canon 6D, but like most, I have transition into mirrorless with the Sony A7Rii. It's a beast! Enjoy:

Black and white stuff is tricky. It does take some effort to process it well. Also, you need to have your exposure spot on. I have a few pics in both color and b/w where the color shot is just eh, but in b/w it really works.







Getting the high contrast for b/w is what really makes it work. If you can't get it, you end up with 30 shades of grey and nothing really makes an impact.

I think a lot of black and white has to do with high contrast to almost create an impact, I've never been a fan of straight up monochrome images, but when I go for the almost high contrast film look, hence my Ilford HP5 comment, or Tri-X would be similar, I like them a lot more.

[Reichart12]

I don't know what it is about b&w. Its not my thing and if I had to pick something specific, I think that it just takes something extra to get a clear subject. Your second photo I like because it is an abstract almost symmetry subject. But anything Ive taken I almost never go b&w because I cant post process it the right way to make it feel impactful.

Really nice! I really want to start taking more portrait photography, to somewhat justify the purchase of an Mamiya RZ67 Pro II.

Took some more black and white sets.

You could say Im a fan of Ilford HP5...

Big post coming up of some people-centric photos I've taken over the past half year or so.

I gather that its got the cool tone since its all shadow, and your not going to lose that over all just due to the nature of the lighting, but to pull the yellow out more your going to have set your white balance to 4800-5200k and see if you get a little more of what your looking for.

I aggree its all subjective, and I am just trying to come up with a sorta easy way to get where you want to go with out filters. I play with the WB a lot sometimes to get an effect I am looking for. You could play with it in post and see what it does and if you like it try out for next time


Could take a s shot HDR composite for the 1 for what you have and 2 for the chairs and combine in post ?????

[Wschnitz]

Its supposed to pretty blue, I wanted to bring out the yellow in the chairs a bit without blasting it out.

In the end its an Art thing right, so not everyone is going to agree where to push it. Might revisit it if the room is still unlocked next time.
