Bill Pador > Fish Eye Frenzy 10-17-09 Well I finally took the plunge and bought a Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8 Fish Eye that I have wanted for a very long time for weddings & landscapes (OK I wanted it for FUN Too) LOL but if I blame it on the business expense it justifies the almost $800 price tag on this little lens. I was out in the field all day with it yesterday after buying it and I had a BLAST ! I knew it was gonna be fun but not nearly as much fun as I had with it already. I shot this in a open field by my house, my hand is about 3' off the ground and nowhere near the leaf but I was learning how to manipulate the distortion of the lens and came up with this little creative shot. I'll be using it on a live shoot tonight shooting a rock band client of mine on stage, so I should be able to get some really colorful & creative shots using this bad boy. If you've always wanted a fish eye I say don't wait any more, just go get it, it's THAT MUCH FUN ~! Have a Great Weekend Everyone ! ~Bill~
Bill Pador > 9-14-09 Here's a shot of the Donkey couple I met at the farm. How cute they looked together ! I went into NY City yesterday to visit B&H Photo's main HQ's and all I have to say is WOW, what a place ! I bought a Nikon SB-R200 Flash for wireless fills, A Sekonic L-358 Light Meter (Awesome Meter), A Justin Clamp (clamps a flash onto anything, must have tool) and a great MountainSmith Lens Case (very nice stuff). It's amazing how they take orders from hundreds of people at a time, send everything down on a conveyor belt and your order is waiting for you when you pay. Very cool operation if you ever get to see it ! ~Bill~
Bill Pador > "Fading But Not Gone" Today was a so so day here in good 'Ol New Jersey, the weather is rapidly changing to a winter feel needing a heavy jacket and warm shoes to walk about but even so our fall colors are fighting to stay around even after our first snow storm yesterday of 6" which just about wiped out what little leaves are left but melted just as fast as it came, but you can still find glorious colors scattered about the forest & mountains. I didn't have to go far for these remnants of Autumn, just a 30 second walk down the street from my house which presented this scene which shows the light shades of browns in the grass that has gone into hibernation already, gray sky with a tad of blue for teasing purposes and some fading colors fighting to stay alive if just for one more week. These trees survived the pounding of mother natures winter fury yesterday so I thought it would be nice to capture & preserve the last memories of the best Autumn colors I can remember in recent memory here in NJ. So say good bye (MAYBE) to my glorious colors of days gone by, winter is finally here my friends! Enjoy your day everyone, the weekend is almost here ;) ~Bill~
Bill Pador > I was on my way out to the deli this morning to get my Favorite breakfast treat (A Double Taylor Ham/Egg/Cheese on a Roll Ummm Ummm Good) when I saw my little buddy here who has lived in my yard for the past 3 years since he was a tiny bunny named "Woo-Dee-Da-Wabbit" and is ALWAYS in the front yard in the morning sitting in the dew covered grass (as seen here) at this time of the morning. So I grabbed the camera and shot a few frames. He's a cutie and is very friendly. I can get within 15' or so before he'll take off but he just stares and likes his photo taken, so say hi to Woo-Dee ;) Have A Great Day Everyone ! ~Bill~
Bill Pador > "Farmland 1" 7/13/08 I spent the day driving up to High Point NJ for a private photo shoot and stopped at this farm along the way to capture this beautiful rolling hills scene. The weather was perfect, a balmy 88' & partly cloudy. I'll post up some more of my captures tomorrow in my over flow gallery but for now enjoy this one for what it is, a part of New Jersey most folks never get to see and never think of my state having this type of landscapes. PS: There's been some inquire as to PP on this and my other Rolling Farmland image, there is only simple Dodging & Buring in the clouds to bring them out a bit THAT'S IT! The deep colors are the result of using a circular polarizer & the natural colors of the landscape. Thanks ~Bill~ Some other shots from my journey today are in this gallery as well to make up for the few days I was behind. You can see some of the images I took at a car show I stopped at in my daily over flow gallery here: http://billpador.smugmug.com/gallery/5243214_M8SAm/1/331258393_TZfoQ
Bill Pador > Well I really didn't have any time to shoot anything for my POD today since I was stuck in the office doing post on a shoot but I did manage to do post on this one that I took a few days ago while fishing. I was on a boat going through the inlet when I shot this multi-million dollar water front home and thought I would share it with you all. The day was very over cast except this little patch of sky and I only had my D70 with me since I can't risk bringing my expensive equipment on a fishing trip. It managed a nice shot after some post boosting the colors and a bit of sharpening but non the less a decent result. Don't you wish we all had money for a home like this ?
Bill Pador > While driving around my neighborhood for my POTD today I stopped at one of my favorite local photo holes - The STUD FARM! So while walking from one side of the field around the barn I saw this scene and figured it would make a nice capture with the hilly road fading off into the distance and really banging out some big time bokeh with a large f/stop. Well I was right LOL I have some nice horse shots which I will post 1 or 2 when I go through them in a little bit.

I'll be using it on a live shoot tonight shooting a rock band client of mine on stage, so I should be able to get some really colorful & creative shots using this bad boy. If you've always wanted a fish eye I say don't wait any more, just go get it, it's THAT MUCH FUN ~!
