Eastern Sierra - Mono Lake / Bodie

Most of the photo were taken within the 2 hours of sunrise and sunset. So I took many shots making changes in the exposure and white balance to see how they turned out. In the past I had always used auto white balance. Ken Rockwell suggest I play around with the the white balance setting the Kelvin degrees manually By adjusting the white balance you could achieve the same results photographers used to get from using tinted filters when shooting with film. http://outdoors.webshots.com/slideshow/568888240tlWOCk Wow! Congratulations, they are simply breathtaking. Eisboch I appreciate your comments. |

They look a little grainy on review. I really like DSC-3615 though - that one has a lot to recommend it. I like precise shots like that - nice and sharp with plenty to look at. That funeral parlor shot is a good one, although the blue is a little distracting. If I was forced to make one comment, I might say that you need to make what works for you in your candid shots, work for you in these situations - it's not really coming through - at least for me. Nice job - not quite as good as your previous work, but not bad at all. I view this as a enjoyable learning experience, and hopefully I will get better. |

I used to hang in the Eastern Sierra in the summer as a teen. Visited Bridgeport/Monolake area several times, Bodie once. While I was in Bodie took virtually that exact same photo (on film of course; developed in my own darkroom). Must be something about coffins. I also liked the old gas pump. Still there? |

It probably looks exactly the same way as when you were there. They have kept the town in a state of arrested decay. They have the old fire truck in front of two old gas pumps. |

Fine, so when are you coming up to DC? Looks like we're going to be here another year in hopes the housing market improves. -- A Harry Krause truism: "It's not a *baby* kicking, beautiful bride, it's just a fetus!" |

Fine, so when are you coming up to DC? Looks like we're going to be here another year in hopes the housing market improves. If you can talk Harry into taking us for a spin in his boat with the heated cabin, I am up tomorrow. Seriously, I have promised my wife that the next photo trip is her choice. She is really into wildlife and nature, and she is talking about a trip to the Okefenokee Swamp. Me, I would love to go to Washington DC and do a series of photos of the people looking at the monuments and capturing their emotions. As Tom has pointed out, I really do enjoy photographing people. |

Yeah, he sent me some zip files of the Eastern Sierra, and he is superb, really as good as I have seen. He needs to get a coffee table book published. My objective was to take a few photos that came close to his quality. PS - You mentioned I have some problems with noise in my photos. I know I shot a few in complete darkness, and they were noisy, but I thought most of the ones at dawn were fairly clean. I think I have the same problem Eisboch has, my eyes are crap. Was there a few photos that had the most problem with noise? |

Was there a few photos that had the most problem with noise? A couple of them actually. I exploded the images out to look at them and, in particular the first one, it just appears in places, like on the right hand side, that the image is pixelated - meaning kind of grainy. That seems to run through the first couple and one or two of the others. Just an off hand comment - doesn't mean that the images are bad or anything. Could just be processing artifact too. |
