Thu, 10 Sep 2009 19:56:31 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I was trying to do something different. Here it is. F/16, about 10 seconds, Fuji RDP III, 100 ISO. http://billproudphotography.com/news/?p=46 I pulled this panorama out of a 4x5 image to accentuate the wave look of the different walls. I shot using a Fuji 360mm from a little farther back from the bowl getting some compression using the longer focal length. These exposure variations may be better suited to digital where ... http://billproudphotography.com/news/?p=44 I wanted something different this time. On anyone's first visit you might be overwhelmed by the awesome spectacle of standing above the bowl and looking down at the striations, and color, and the majestic sight before you. Because the view is so inspiring you just begin shooting and it may ... http://billproudphotography.com/news/?p=42 This is an image I don't care for but wanted to post to remind myself to keep trying. The sky was flat due to the cloud layer, which I thought I was going to like but the image comes out a tad flat looking. And then there is the sky ... http://billproudphotography.com/news/?p=40 I was pleasantly surprised to win first place color for the second time at Fort Lewis with my entry, 'Red Rock at Cajon.' I had the idea of making the image a sepia tone, black and white and then adding back in some color in the foreground, kind of like ... http://billproudphotography.com/news/?p=38 I just recently went to The Wave for my second time. I was hoping to get something a little different from the first visit having added a longer lens for this trip. It was another beautiful day with no wind in the morning and great clouds. We stayed later in the ... http://billproudphotography.com/news/?p=36 A favorite area of mine is Owl Creek Pass and Silver Jack Reservoir, east of Ridgway, Colorado. The drive up the pass is not that bad, some road ripples but as I remember, two wheel drive doable. It provides great views back towards Sneffels for the first few miles ... http://billproudphotography.com/news/?p=32 One requirement for being successful is pre-planning the image. How you think it will be presented, what focal length lens, what angle, what time of year, so on and so forth. I had an image in my head on how the mitten shadow should look and a friend and ... http://billproudphotography.com/news/?p=29 I've been to Delicate Arch many times but always when the summer heat was long gone. I wanted an image with the full moon as close to the arch as possible, about 112 degrees, and that meant I would have to go in June or July. Guessing June would be ... http://billproudphotography.com/news/?p=27 I have wanted to photograph Tuweep Overlook for a number of years and in early April I traveled with a friend down there. We drove down the Pipe Springs road, 60 miles of arduous rutted gravel and returned via the Trumbull Wilderness road into Colorado City based on Laurent Martres ... http://billproudphotography.com/news/?p=23
