Last minute

Our latest competition theme for the club was 'Saint John River'. I had no photos, and was considering letting this month pass by without entering. But I changed my mind, and went out with a friend at 10pm monday night to see what I could do. I was quite happy with the results, and played with some off camera lighting. Here are the 2 photos I entered:





While I didn't place, my second image got very close, and elicited a booing from the audience when the score was read. :)

What to shoot on a cold day?

Frost on the storm door! What else? But be quick before it melts!

 

Shot with a Canon 50D and a Nikon Micro-Nikkor AI 105mm f2.8 lens (set at f16 I believe, maybe f8), with mirror lockup and remote cable release on my Manfrotto 190D tripod, with a ball head (can’t remember the model right now). White balance was Sunny (Daylight), ISO 100, and a shutter of about 1 second. A little tweaking in RAW and PS (but not much)

BRRRR!!!!!
