Bill Pador > "The Magic of Nature" I think these are Red Maple Trees, I saw them as I was driving down the street and the pile of falling leafs caught my eye along with the fence. The cool thing about these trees is that they line a Christmas Tree farm (in the background) which is funny to me to have the fall doing there magic putting these to sleep while new born trees will continue to grow in different stages until Christmas time a few years from now just behind them. Post was done using TOPAZ LABS 'ADJUST' filter and that's all that has been done to this one. I'm up early this morning because I woke up in a great deal of pain with my back injury and had to down my meds in a hurry. I was able to get my mind off of it by texting back & forth with my good friend John (300m) who always seems to be there for me at the right time. What a great friend he has been to me and helps me out more then he knows, so this is dedicated to him as my very good friend, Thanks John !

Bill Pador > "Lake Side Autumn Colors" UPDATE: 11/19/08 - *This image is now a FINALIST in the 'OUTDOOR PHOTOGRAPHERS MAGAZINE' "2008 Natures Colors National Contest" and I need your votes for the Secondary 'Peoples Choice Award' by clicking on the following link to cast your vote:(*Thanks for your Support) Voting ends 12/1/08 - Please tell a friend too ! **~ VOTING IS NOW CLOSED ~**but the image is still available to see in the finalist gallery online CLICK HERE TO VOTE: http://www2.outdoorphotographer.com/colors/gallery-fin-lg.php?gal=nature&id=4929#j Well after yesterdays lack of creativity & plain old energy I felt MUCH better today after sleeping in until 1:30pm this afternoon. I woke up feeling refreshed but got off to a slow start. After a cup of Joe, my medication & a few minutes of stretching I was ready to go for day 226. After speaking to John (300m) on the phone I headed out to capture the quickly turning colors around town. To start off, I didn't have to go far just by walking across the street from my house where the wood line was scattered with multi-colored trees & bushes for as far as you could see. Part of my trip brought me back to one of my favorite locales and THE LAKE HOUSE. I shot this wide angle from the west shoreline with the sun behind me blazing down on the far shore & mountainside which lit up like the Vegas strip at midnight as you can see. I was thrilled to see how cool the shadows & reflections from the shore glazed into the water reflecting not only the colors but a cool right angle in the shape of a 'V' & water so clear you could see the bottom. Without a cloud in the sky and the most PERFECT conditions for shooting I couldn't ask for a better day of relaxing & productive color chasing. This image has very little post with only being hit with a very slight crop & contrast adjustment and that's all folks, not even any sharpening was needed to show the mountainside scattered with the lovely colors of Autumn! * To see the entire shoot from today, you can visit my "Brand New" FALL/AUTUMN COLORS 2008 Gallery It is FILLED with crazy colorful images that is sure to please every colorful landscape enthusiast ! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and for all my American brothers & sisters enjoy your 3 day weekend compliments of Christopher Columbus!

Bill Pador > "LAKE SUNSET" large looks best Morning Guys & Gals - I had a wonderful day and topped it off with this sunset compliments of 2 COKIN Filters and some selective Dodging & Burning. I went out to the photo store today to get myself a new Tripod & a small daily travel bag for my gear. I got tired of either throwing my camera equipment on the floor of my car, using my full size Tamrac bag or an old Tamrac backpack I hated. So while picking out my new Bag (Tamrac Adventure 74) & Tripod (Vanguard Tracker 3 w/P-55 Fluid filled pan head) I saw an offer from Cokin for a filter holder with a free filter (Sunset P-197) So I grabbed it up along with a Grey (ND Grad P-121L). After leaving the store I drove by a lake I saw the sun starting to go down over the water & decided to stop. I loaded up the filters, set a custom Kelvin white balance temp of 10,000 added +0.7 exposure compensation, sat on the concrete wall surrounding the lake and started firing. What you see here is the result of shooting directly into the sun and capturing the trees in silhouette and some awesome clouds reflecting off the water. The colors are pretty much true for the exception of a slight levels adjustment to calm the intensity of the outer part of the sun and then some selective dodging & burning of the clouds to bring out a bit more contrast and intensity. The image was finished with an edited & blurred frame in black compliments of OnOne Photoframe Pro 3.1that I used as a custom Vignette effect instead of a plain old oval or square type vignette so that I could control the shape and depth of it in the end. That's about it ans sorry I got stuck on another sunset but I had to try out the new filters to see what I could do with them and I'm quite happy I bought them now. ~Bill~
