Some shots from last October, when Chihuly had a glass exhibit at the Biltmore House in Asheville.

Something about this one really stands out to me. Very pretty!

Really great stuff Ike, including the stuff on Flickr you didn't post.
Here's the sunset tonight in Texas.

I'm pretty anal about when and where I lens swap!
Thanks Ike
I wish I was the same way. On shoots I probably change my lens about a dozen times.
You need to work on getting rid of the gate.

Composite of one second exposures sitting on a guard rail. Turned out alright. Definitely gaps between exposures though which was unfortunate.

Really liked this next spot, but I can't decide which composition is better:

That Smoky Mountain State Park shot is incredible.Shared these on that One Photo A Day thread, so might as well post them here as well:

These are great. I love the background tint in the second one.I don't think I've actually posted anything here. Here's some of my recent stuff.

I see. There's white fringeing on her outline (shoulders mainly) which lead me to think you'd masked the background.All of my shots are done in camera. It was a blue backdrop in a studio.

I thought as much. Cracking shot though. I wish I had skin like that. :/Some of it is actually a bit edge light from the hair light. But the effect is also exaggerated when you isolate colors to saturate or desaturate in the RAW file. In this case, it was caused by making the background an even deeper blue.
I feel the second is stronger and feeling very strongly it would look great as bnw

I disagree on this I think the gate adds to the mood and look
This is one of those subjective critiques since I care more about the bridge and the fog than I do about the gate since it distracts me.

Thanks for addressing this. Sometimes I do not know what makes some landscape stuff work.I actually have an alternate shot where I moved such that the gate isn't visible anymore, but I felt like that didn't do the foreground much of a favor. I thought that the gate added to the look.

Sometimes I don't know why something does or doesn't look good, I guess at times I just over analyze things.I don't claim any expertise! I just liked the way it looked more.
I went to hike to the top of Bear Peak near Boulder Colorado this weekend. It was slippery as fuck so I had to put my camera in my back pack while I slid down the mountain on my ass. Don't forget to bring your spikes!

Love how painterly the heat distortion is, looking through your Flickr, you've got some great stuff. What shutter speed do you typically use for in flight photos?
The top one is the best shot, the duck one isn't that bad. I wouldn't mind a more cropped high contrast B&W of the duck shot.
Exactly this. Maybe dial down the highlights a bit in that water to see the water ripples and it would look great.
Or a clarity gradient from the bottom up to the ducks feet would help that too.Exactly this. Maybe dial down the highlights a bit in that water to see the water ripples and it would look great.
I should probably learn how to do thisOr a clarity gradient from the bottom up to the ducks feet would help that too.
Some of my landscapes have up to six rectangular gradients LOL

It's better than my older stuff where I would throw a -25 vignette on it and call it done!
I'm probably too lazy to do that much work on one photo, but I should try at some point I guess since turning 8 pictures into one seems to be all the rage these days.It's better than my older stuff where I would throw a -25 vignette on it and call it done!
Much better. The pattern on the feathers stands out a lot more in black and white.
We try.
