Pictures I Am Sick And Tired Of Seeing

Go to last post
Glad you like it!

There's one more annoying thing about it -- it was shot with my brand new Canon G1 (my first good digicam!).

: )

Anyway, having known little about photography at the time (and not much more now), it was no doubt shot in P-mode without flash and auto white balance. I did know enough to hold still (probably 1/20 sec shutter speed on this one), but not enough to bring a tripod!

On a subsequent trip, I did bring a tripod, but it was a pain in the a*s to get the angle and position I wanted to get!

Also, this was shot on January 2, 2001 -- winter, and probably at about 9:00 AM. The next shots were in summer. The lighting is substantially different in the different seasons and different times of day. I think most photo the canyon in summer, since in the upper canyon (that's the one you see most the pics of, not the lower canyon that this is from), you get light beams coming down from the high crevace. The lower canyon is much longer, but much more narrow as well. However, I like the lower a lot better!

Anyway, glad you liked the pic! Some other "unusual" shots of it are available here:

perfect - even more so if one could just the top few inches of an
upraised cat tail passing by at the lower right.

Funny you should say that -- there were actually two frogs and a cat (but a leprechaun grabbed the cat and vanished before I pressed the shutter). I was going to wait for the frogs to leave, but they asked me to take their picture, so I could email it to them, but I forgot their email address (something like "[email protected]" but that email was just bounced back).

Long story short, I edited the frogs out. I guess I should have edited out only one of the frogs (at the time I was thinking, "Two frogs -- that's weird!") as one frog actually does enhance the photo substantially. I'm not sure what to do about the cat tail, though -- I'm not that good at editing yet!

Hi Rikster

I'm heavily into glamour photography as a hobby and I'm so busy shooting models lately that I've not yet had a chance to update my website.

I did the shoot with Sandra on Wednesday. Yesterday (Saturday) I took part in a 5 hour studio session with 5 different models - 1 model per hour. I'm doing another session next Wednesday night.

As well as this I go to my camera club two nights a week - Tuesday and Thursday!

I need to spend more time in front of the PC!

Best wishes

Paul

ANYONE... WHO WOULD EDIT... EVEN ONE FROG... OUT OF A PHOTO... LET ALONE TWO... OUGHT TO BE EXILED TO ANTARTICA... so that he will come to realize just what it means to live without frogs.

Damn that leprechaun!

why would you want to spend more time in front of the puter with five sexy hot models a day. Man you must take cold baths often, hehehe. Just kidding. I would pull the plug on the puter and add two more sessions.

Hey Frostfrog (if that is your real name):

I admitted it was a mistake to edit out both frogs, but it's no crime to edit out one. As it turns out, my boss is a fan of frogs, read your post, told me to get my behind on my Aurora spyplane, and bail out over my my new assignment on the bottom of the frig'n' planet. So here I am only a few hours after your post. That's how fast things happen in the real world -- I don't know about your job.

Please keep such comments out of the public forum where dire consequences can happen to undeserving people!

By the way, here's my newest Antartelope Canyon photo:

Looks mighty cold - whiteout, my favorite weather - hey! I might be happy there!

Actually... I must confess... my real name is not Frostfrog. It is: Frost Frog. But it is easier to just go with Frostfrog and it gets awfully hard, typing in two capital "F's" all the time, so I am thinking of getting a legal name change to Frostfrog. Then it will be my real name.

I've got to make certain my wife never reads this terrible advice. How could the Frostfrog live, without a kiss now and then?

Flies are good.

Their tongues are too sticky. : )

The sticky tongue is to catch flies and other insects. Do not
french-kiss a frog. You will only end up with a mouthful of flies
and an angry frog.

You mention Bryce and Zion. I never would post a picture of either nor would I present one in my clubs competition because after a number of trips there, I have never been able to capture anything of what I felt. The same holds for the Grand Canyon. Your point' s well taken. I think I should examine some of the other things I have presented and always ask the question is this any different than anything I've seen before.

I know that feeling, so I am going to give Digital Video A try!

On my last trip I did take about 10 video clips with my digital still camera and liked what I saw. Though each was only 35 seconds of 15 fps there was enough there which gave me a better feeling of the places I visited.

Actually I am sick and tired of people complaining about clichés.
If I don't like any particular picture posted on this site I ignore it.

Too bad you didn't show the same courtesy to this thread. :)

And your right about the bear/salmon shot that has been done to death. At least it has context within the bear's and salmon's world. Shots of animals just standing there, or even worse, looking at the camera might of well as been shot at Wal-Mart.

Just imagine ...

Mr. Tiger. Mr. Bengal Tiger. Yes, your next.
Now just get up on this table. Good.
Ok. Now just give me a big smile.
Ohh, so you don't want to smile. Well let's see. Ah, yes this will do.
Look at the bear. Look at the little bear. Look at the little fuzzy wuzzy bear.
Click. Flash.

Growww........(ahhhhhhhh, ahhhhhh)........llllllllllllllll....(ahhhhh)...ROAR....(mommy)!
Cleaning, please report to the photography center.
