Non-Erotic Photos

[Ekserb]

I watched on YouTube a few videos about a photographer named Clyde Butcher. He works primarily in South Florida and I've enjoyed his work for years. The videos inspired me to get out and shoot a few landscapes and this is what I shot earlier today:

Deer Track trail, Silver Springs Conservation Area, Ocala, May 2012

It's sad how little this thread sees any updates. I can't be the only person who wants to see something other than closeups of cocks and pussies.

This is a fresh re-process of a photo from last year. Very contrasty.

I've not posted in an age and a half, but I will make an attempt to do so more often. Here is a little something I took whilst on a shoot a week or two back.

Very crisp. I like it.

I can see why—that's a beautiful photo.

This was a very long exposure after the sun had sunk below the horizon on Florida's Gulf coast. The glow on the left is an oil rig way out in the Gulf.

As we're doing long exposures, here is a 40 second long one...

Some new stuff from my portfolio:

Bonfire.

I had my backup camera converted for use as a dedicated infrared (IR) body. This was one of my first experiments with it.

Infrared is interesting. The photos are surreal in that the green foliage is almost completely white while blue skies are very dark. The focus system is also changed as IR wavelengths arrive at the focal plane differently than visible light. I have to manually focus every frame until it looks terrible in the viewfinder and then check the preview for focus accuracy. (As an aside, older lenses will often have a red mark on the focus barrel that shows where to manually focus when using IR film. Lenses designed since the decline of film use no longer have these markings.)

Ekserb- Been a while since I checked in here, but I am glad to see you are still posting photos. You are very talented and I'm always impressed with your pictures. I wish you lived closer, I'd love to have you take pics for me.

I'm glad you continue to check this thread, if even only infrequently. I will someday be driving through Washington, so you never know what might happen in the future!

Not quite sure what this thread is doing languishing at the bottom of P3, so here is a scanned image, original taken in 1989.

Something I was playing with tonight. I just used an inverse curve on a photo of cloud-to-cloud lightning.

Lesson 1: Find a great photographer and ply him with sexual favors to learn his special tricks and techniques.

LOL but you are on the wrong side of the states! That makes it harder.

Excuses, excuses. A good student finds a way.
