Wyndham Carseland - Take 2

Got around to processing the remainder of my shots from an October 8th camping trip. I've got a long way to go in terms of thought and application but I am pleased with my improvement over the last year or so. I love this, and I want to share it (both the activity and the end results) with others who enjoy it as well.

Seriously, I need some exercise. Grab your camera, call me up, and lets go shooting. Wherever, whenever, and whatever.


A run-of-the-mill shot from a gravel bank in the river.


A flower, cropped in a "bookmark" style which I've become fond of lately.


Friends of the family, father and son with their dog. We were out on a gravel-bar with our slingshots, target practice on rocks and driftwood.


The moon about 10 minutes after sunset. I took a highly bracketed set of shots here to give me he glow, the lit landscape, and a detailed moon which I could then combine together once I got home.


4-minute shot of the road beside our campsite. Didn't expect the truck to go through, I liked the results though.



Another 'bookmark' crop, taken from the shot which I posted with the original bunch.

Run-of-the-mill my ass. That river shot is fantastic. Interesting idea about the bookmarks. Never thought of doing that, but I definitely could use some better bookmarks than my harvest moon ticket. I must look through my stuff, see I have anything to use. Great editing. I can see a style developing, it's good.

*tear*
perhaps there is still beauty midst all the pain.
thank you for that reminder.

Yeah, run of the mill is the type of pictures that I have been known to take. You take anything but run of the mill! Beautiful and breath taking are the only words that come to my mind to discribe them. I wish I could capture the beauty that I see. Beauty is my life search.

Jonny, Jonny, Jonny. Being able to see the strange or magical in the normal is the definition of an artist (or a sociologist, whichever you'd prefer to be). Therefore, I command you to do a jig of joy over your great pics and never again use this mystifying descriptive term, "run-of-the-mill".

I'm glad you can see your improvements, and your overboard humility. Now cast it a line and haul it back on board and feed it some soup while you warm it by the fire. If you need firewood, you can ask me and I will gladly bring you some from work.
