thanks for the comment chad, no tripod and a much longer sequence than is visible it was the whole 25 picture burst that the 20D can do on JPEG mode... my buddy herman shot ot with my camera which was tossed down to him off the cornace prob 30 feet in my bag before this. SCARY throwing all that $$$ down a huge POW slope. under exposure is the camera following me downhill and i would agree with you i need to lighten it up.. pray for health my hand didnt get hurt in this fall to say the least as i tucked it away nicely inside but my head and brain didnt think the same thing ha ha ha..
feel better dude we should go shoot sometime!!!

chad, i used a 4 stop ND grad filter on this one to keep the sky in exposure.... the forground was secondary colorcorrected from the background and i saturated certain sections using PS, thanks for viewing my portfolio and giving such wonderful critiques and comments

i really enjoy the softness of the urban gate on the right, wish the texture carried over to the left a bit, fences when blurred have such a wonderful quality, great coloring and motion on the bridge, i love the brightness of both the forground and background
wonderful capture,
sorry if my preview image didnt work

yeah, i would agree marc, ND would and could have helped with metering the sky and balancing out compositionally, a grad ND would have cut right down the middle diag so i decided not to do it on this shot, usually i hold up a P series coken to the 77mm 10 - 22mm it works well, but for this one i was almost under the ramp with my freind vinny coming at me at 15 to 20 MPH didnt really have both hands, ha ha ha, PS i agree much color correcting and dodgeing were done to sky to compensate... thanks for viewing buddy, i always appriciate the comments and critique

it is a multiple exposure all that guessed taht have it right, but its multiple bursts on the 20D you can roll through six shots as fast as the shutter speed of that scene metered will allow, then i take all those images and put them together in PS CS, a beautiful technique with very good results, as long as you can hold the camera still and not rotate it to much, otherwise post work becomes kind of more involved...
thanks for all the views and comments, this one was shot by my freind vinny, of me doing the jump at winterpark, the colors were sort of bland but i liked the silohette, so i color corrected in PS as well, i love the results, thanks again all

cool motion, not sure about the bird though, as it might be placed, and can tell, but i love the motion of the grass and how the one single tree is in focus, along with the sky, wonderful light patterns in the grass from the thumb, great saturation

hey eric, this situation that you came up with was pretty much my only thought on it as well talking it over with some freinds over the past week, the dogs head is to perfect on the tracks, to percise inbetween the two iron bars, and everyone that has commented about blood, and there really wasnt any except a slight bit on the mouth area around the neck, this one still puzzles me but thanks for viewing and commenting on this one....
ps, yeah i had nothing to do with this one, cept walk up to it and start shooting images,

very nice capture here tom, nice use of a open shutter, i enjoy the ghosting of the little boy on one of the blocks, very nice soft water, and good composition with the blocks moving from left to right, thanks for your comments on my work, keep the northern VA images coming, i grew up in herndon VA and miss that area, seeing images of it makes me smile....

hey tom, interesting point as well, and the way the dogs head is perfectly between the two pieces of iron, blood, i dont know, you would think there would have been a little, only on the dogs mouth did i see any, visible on a CU i have, but none anywhere else, only situation i could come up with, train going fast squishes neck inbetween two iron bars, no blood cause it didnt hit the mass of the body, the only blood would be visible around the fur on the mouth,neck, and on the right side of the tracks, which there isnt really any on the right side as per i have images of the matted down fur where the train passed over the body side, where the feet are... i was really perplexed by this dog, his death and how to photograph it... ill upload another version of the image tomorrow, different perspective, and well see....
thanks for viewing tom, thanks for the thoughts and comments

wonderful coloring in both the muddy water and the blue sky great capture
i enjoy the ripples in the muddy water, the shadows make for a good focus point on the reflection of the sky, brings my eye to that point in the image

monique, my thoughts exactly when i shot it, the dog is pretty much in tackt i have others of it with the tracks running perfectly verticle, and the dogs fur is even almost untouched, which i didnt understand, you would think he would have been more strewn about or strugled or something that this image doesnt suggest, maybe he was dead before being struck, or almost to that state, i dont know, puzzled me for a couple days, cause your right, trains are loud, dogs even when sleeping wake up to slight noises, let along a huge train coming barelling down on a head against the tracks!!!! puzzleing thoughts,
thanks for viewing, even though its a rough one to view, and thanks for the comments, i agree with you and kevin totally

thanks kevin, for the comments on this one, i didnt know how people would react to it, being it is a death of someones dog possibly, a little bit of a harsh image, the image itself was shot tonight by the 20D from a print, thats possibly why it has a slight blur or ridgidness to it, a matt photo shot on digital, weird things happen, thanks again for your comment, i enjoy the feedback on my work
