None of the effect was done in Photoshop. I only did basic RAW adjustments and adjusted curves in Lightroom 2. I did this because there was not too much color left on the trees after all the rain we had so I thought it might be fun to play with some crazy techniques.<br /><br />I took quite a few crazy shots like this at different parts of the park and there were paths and fields and several bodies of water. It is hard to remember exactly where this one was shot, but the band along the bottom leads me to believe it was by the water. At any rate this was one of my favorites.<br /><br />Nikon D700<br />Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8<br />1/3 second<br />F/22.0<br />ISO 100<br />150 mm<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Check out my Fall Favorites Slideshow <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.capturethisphotography.com/slideshows/Favorite_Fall_Images_2006_2009/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /></div><br /><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22699077-6887649502066465277?l=www.capturethisphotography.com%2Findex.html' alt='' /></div>Lauriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13207597907269653552CaptureThisPhotoBlog@gmail.com24tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699077.post-36728358735757104642009-11-06T00:00:00.007-05:002009-11-07T22:06:18.138-05:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.capturethisphotography.com/2009/11/bedazzled-II.html"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 1050px; height: 699px;" src="http://capturethisphotography.com/photos/Canal_Reflections.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.capturethisphotography.com/2009/11/bedazzled-II.html">previous</a> / <a href="http://www.capturethisphotography.com/2009/11/Fall-Forest-Abstract.html">next (11-6-09)</a><br /><br />...and all topsy turvy.

I am really bummed. It was not exactly close to my home. It was really tiny and didn't "look" like much on the outside but it was charming inside and had great food. The one time I ate there I had a really awesome burger. It was one of the best burgers I ever had. Mark had eaten breakfast there a few times and said the breakfasts were really awesome too. This is a really sad sign of the times.

I do not remember what kind it was, all I know is it had the most fluttery, graceful wings I've ever seen before. The wings were sort of floppy and so very fluttery I was amazed that it could stay in the air. The blurry wing tips were a result of the floppy fluttery nature of its wings and the shallow DoF.<br /><br />Nikon D700<br />Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR<br />1/160 second<br />F/2.8<br />ISO 200<br />200 mm<br /><br />The trip was grueling, hectic, busy, fun...exhausting. It did not start out too well. When we got to the airport our terminal had a power failure. No way to check in, check bags, or go through security. It seems that the power was accidentally cut during construction. Luckily for us we had gotten there early and the power was restored in about 30 minutes or so.<br /><br />Note to self. Leave the Giatto Rocket blower at home next time!!! My camera bag was flagged for a hand check at screening...I was not surprised and kind of expected it. What I did not expect was that during the swabbing and checking process the rubber rocket blower was going to test positive for explosives!!! Alarms went off after they swabbed the blower and put the little cloth in the machine. It was the last thing in the bag to be checked...I thought "Oh crap! I'm going to jail!" Lol...not really but it was certainly interesting. They called over a supervisor who apparently knew what the blower was and she retested it and it passed. They explained that if I touched it after using lotions or something that could set off the alarms. I do use bug repellent and sunscreen when I am out shooting and perhaps that was the cause, or maybe the use of glycerin in the studio...I don't know. I am happy to report that I did not go to jail and was able to get on the flight no problem. Mark however will never let me hear the end of it. The boys thought it was an amusing story too.<br /><br />Packing up Rob's car, a 2008 Hyundai Tiburon, which is a tiny shoebox sports car was quite an adventure. Mark equated packing it to playing Tetris. I don't think we could have fit another thing in that car, it was packed to the brim, leaving little room for us. It was quite tight for us to make the more than 1000 mile trip home. We made it...still recovering though!<br /><br />I hope to start catching up with everyone next week. I appreciate everyone's patience in my absence. It seems when I think I have time to get caught up, something else comes up...just crazy busy!<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22699077-7238622959043395444?l=www.capturethisphotography.com%2Findex.html' alt='' /></div>Lauriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13207597907269653552CaptureThisPhotoBlog@gmail.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699077.post-52320125252095686952009-09-30T00:00:00.006-04:002009-10-01T13:27:29.614-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.capturethisphotography.com/2009/09/rewind-spring-lamppost.html"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 599px; height: 900px;" src="http://capturethisphotography.com/photos/Dingmans_Falls_1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.capturethisphotography.com/2009/09/rewind-spring-lamppost.html">previous</a> / <a href="http://www.capturethisphotography.com/2009/10/fluttery-flight.html"> next (10-2-09)</a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">This was shot back in May at Dingman's Falls in Pennsylvania.

We went down for a few days to visit with him and pick up his stuff and his car to bring it back here to store it while he is deployed. Hopefully in December 2010 he will be coming home for good.<br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22699077-5232012525209568695?l=www.capturethisphotography.com%2Findex.html' alt='' /></div>Lauriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13207597907269653552CaptureThisPhotoBlog@gmail.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699077.post-17908746068076947212009-09-28T00:00:00.007-04:002009-09-28T00:00:01.574-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.capturethisphotography.com/2009/09/reward-offered.html"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 599px; height: 900px;" src="http://capturethisphotography.com/photos/lamp_East_Jersey_Old_Town.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.capturethisphotography.com/2009/09/reward-offered.html">previous</a> / <a href="http://www.capturethisphotography.com/2009/09/rewind-dingmans-falls.html">next (9-30-09)</a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I have a fondness for classic lampposts.

Sandy Hook is the site of many protected species of shore birds. Some moron decided it would be a good idea to destroy a nest. It has been speculated by many that it was likely a fishermen. They argue that if the nests are gone then the fishermen would be allowed to fish there. I would hate to think this is true. I don't personally know of <span style="font-style: italic;">any</span> fishermen who would stoop to such a thing. There are plenty of places to fish without fishing from restricted nesting areas.<br /><br />Nikon D700<br />Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR<br />1/250 second<br />F/6.3<br />ISO 400<br />130 mm<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I will be away for a few days but have readied posts to run automatically while I am away.<br /><br /></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22699077-414644446198987021?l=www.capturethisphotography.com%2Findex.html' alt='' /></div>Lauriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13207597907269653552CaptureThisPhotoBlog@gmail.com3
