These are very similar except for the light trails - which one do you like - the white and yellow trailing lights or the one with the red lights?
Thanks,

Thanks,
Abby
The light trails make the photographs. Well done!

These photos were taken a couple of years apart,the blue version is the last.Located near Telegraph Creek,B.C.,Canada cabins like that are inhabited during Stikine river salmon run by Tahltan people.They catch as many fish as they can and preserve them by drying.When the run is over they move back to their regular houses.
Great photos, the blue one looks like its being supported by a Smurff!

igh, I must tell you about my friend who is almost totally blind. He sees only shadows, and is somehow taking care of a bedridden wife! He never complains, and is amazing..even plants a big garden every year! I know he's seeing much more than we do!
People always want to know, which is worse, blindness or deafness. My answer is you cant appreciate all the amazing clouds I can see and most of the things people say are not important to me except when a certain Lady Hedgehogger tells me she loves me! Ahhhhhhhhh and I met and fell in love with her on Ugly!

He looks like he is at peace with his handicap and a great guy. I bet he "sees" a lot of things that we miss. Did you talk to him about taking his pics and sharing them?
Tes sure did he was flattered, I asked if I could email them to a relative who could describe the pixs to him. He had no idea what an email was or have any friends. Such a shame, I had a long conversation about England and he knew of the history of the city I am from, Hastings, in Sussex!

I used to have a friend (now deceased) who was blind in one eye and deaf in his opposite ear. No matter where you stood he either couldn't hear you or couldn't see you. I sure do miss him.
Ha Ha, never caught your comment before. I am deaf in both ears and blind in one eye (my right one) and know exactly how this fella felt! Focusing an upside down image on a 5x4 glass screen in a Sinar is not easy!

Ian, I have used many Buff systems. They are very good for the money. I have not used the Eisenstein's but am sure, again, great for the money.
But Buff's are far from the best lights out there. SS

Sure if you pay $1200 for a Balcar head but you will never beat Paul Buff for quality and service. I worked for Pelling and Cross in London for several years and demoed and sold many high end systems but always had problems with failures and especially service from distributors . I belong to a pro forum and they had a question about quality and service. 99% of the pro photographs said they had changed gear to Alian Bees or Einsteins. 1% went to Bron (Now Hassleblad/ Sinar / Bron.

Good one, empty kettles always make the most noise especially when they never post a photograph!

When getting the strobe units, the Alien Bee are without doubt the best strobes bar none, great company to deal with!

Terrific flower pic!

Couple examples:
With the flower selected the flower and darkened the background, with the ring, had it on a dark surface, actually one of my shirts that was black, and used existing light, and then went over the dark areas with the burn tool in photoshop to darken a couple of areas.

Simple to do in PP---about 10 minutes or less. I'd show you but would proably get my ass reamed by someone looking through the rules.......
Ha Ha too much stupidness going on these days, complainers who cant take photos or post any but love to challenge those that can!
Good on yer. One day I will learn Photoshop but maybe will stick to film and darkroom trickery!
And don't get me started on Admin!!!!!!!!

How do you create an image of a still life object

I have a Canon 50d.

The suggestions of black velvet are spot on. total over exposed photographic enlarging paper is about as deep a black as you can get but you have to be careful of reflections if its glossy and even matt finish papers reflect a little. Finding photo paper today is hard anyway so stick to the material!
