Swinging Bridge at Tishomingo, Built in 1939 -

I shot this same bridge about a year ago, and have always liked the pic, but was never really satisfied with it...I'm happier now-

edit: the other shot.

Finally processing the last of my costal GA pics...been a busy few months... This is the Sidney Lanier Bridge just outside of Brunswick, lit by the sun setting off to the left-

Post:
...lost track on this one, but the there were some shadow/highlight adjustments and a diffuse glow filter on the sky-

The Tennessee River and the Natchez Trace-

And, we had a little more light for tonight's game...enough for an alternate pic- Check out the tongue-

This one has me by a good 15 years or so...
Mamiyaflex C2, 180mm Lens, circa 1958

I was looking at some hit stats for my daily photo gallery today and, interestingly (at least to me), the hit map is a pretty good representation of the daily photo members... Have a look at it, if you wish-

I stumbled across this thread on dgrin a couple of days ago...and loved the shot- I wanted to get one for myself- Before tonights game, I thought I would practice---this was my 3rd attempt. I was pretty pumped- Thought by the end of the game I'd have an awesome shot...Unfortunately, I didn't get to take any shots during the game, so I don't have a better one...yet. My new self-imposed goal for the rest of the season...

...and just for the record, post processing:

Almost Gone-

Back into the 60s today, but I wanted to get at least one snowscape posted--since we only get snow once every three or four years. And since the snow melted by about noon yesterday, I had very little time to shoot...this is about all I got- Maybe in 2012 I can do better...

This pic was taken about 9am, and the snow had already melted about halfway...by 11am, there was barely a trace left-

Third day of Jill's birthday trip to NYC- I was left to fend for myself in Times Square for a little while while she shopped... So I took a few pictures of one of the most abundant things there... It was like a little mini drag race everytime the light turned green.

Shot taken panning on the middle taxi-

I think this shot should be called Layover Boredom. Two hour layover, not much to do-

Post:
-Composite of 6 50 sec exposures (3 Landings, 3 Take-Offs)
...two of the take-offs are almost off of the image...
-6 Layers, Blended with "Lightest Color" mode
...It amazed me how exact the landing paths were...
-Contrast increased
-Cropped

Just me and the boys again today...thought we'd do some redecorating. The boys think there should be a larger-than-life-size picture of one of us on every wall we have...

The pic they're hanging was one Trev took of me last July (He's quite the artist)...We found it today...thought his entire memory card had been lost... And, if you look in the upper right, there's some more of Trev's artwork...

Post:
...OK, so we didn't really hang it (probably wouldn't have gotten away with it anyway)... The boys are standing in front of a blank wall... I created the collage effect using a free action from Panos FX... (use your favorite search engine that rhymes with oogle...)...and then merged it in between the boys and the wall...I had them hold blank sheets of paper to help them look more like they were really doing it...actors they're not, but it turned out ok... they like it. :)

Last of the snow pics- back to spring tomorrow-

A little panning...although, tracking a swing, it's more like arcing-

Fireworks Night at the Ballpark-
Regions Park, Birmingham, AL

The Birmingham Barons beat the Montgomery Biscuits --yes, biscuits as in bread-- (I'm not kidding about the name...see for yourself: www.biscuitsbaseball.com)

As late as it is, I really wanted to post this unedited...but there was a sliver of a head at the bottom that I had to get rid of...

Post:
-Cropped some off the bottom

This one, 20+ years older than me...
Kodak Retina IIa, circa 1952

Several asking about the stats-- Go to this dGrin tutorial...It's easy, and shows the last 500 hits for free. (Plus, it has the cool map...)

Alternatively, you can get google analytics (another stat counter) using this dGrin tutorial.

If you've never explored the tutorials section of dGrin, it's well worth the while-

This shot handheld with built-in flash and piece of copy paper as a diffuser-

Crash and Burn-

Just a fun pic today...This is about how I feel after processing and sorting pics all day...and night--I'm currently up to May, which is not great, but considering I was on January just a couple of weeks ago, I'l take it-

And thanks for the comments on yesterday's bridge-- That was a pic I originally culled back when I took it...Glad I gave it a second chance-

And just as a side note...I noticed there were over 90 posts (daily pics) between my last one and this one! About as many as I've ever seen... Anyone know the actual number of active (or semi-active) posters? Just wondering...
