Bill Pador > April 08' Photo of the Day Gallery photo
Bill Pador > Not knowing what I was going to do for my POTD shot tonight mother nature helped me make my decision by creating a small lightning storm for me to shoot. I went out to my back deck, set up for a 20 second shot @ f/11 ISO 800 and just kept pressing the shutter button every 20 sec. I was able to grab 2 really good shots in 30 or so hanging out in the rain with my umbrella over my gear. (my neighbor yelled to me that I was crazy go inside LOL) This is image 2 of 2 so be sure to check the Other Lightning Strike, it's even better then this one IMO.
Bill Pador > This capture was shot while entering the inlet returning from a fishing trip. There was a young man sitting on the jetty all by himself in what looked like deep thought. This image has been treated with several effects to give it a dream feel & back lit appearance.
Bill Pador > MADE IN U.S.A. I didn't have a clue where I wanted to go with my photo today but I wanted to do something different for my POTD image but I wanted it to be a Shape or Abstract type photo. I came up with the idea to use some bullets I had laying around. My first try was a macro of several hundred rounds laying in an ammo can in their natural position, well I didn't like the results just too boring. Then I came up with this idea of lining bullets up so I could create a pattern of some sort. This image was created using (2) different shots taken in my still life studio, one with them lined up straight and the other is the same line but shot at an angle. The bullets were lined up on top of my brown wood cigar humidor which has a slightly shiny surface to create the reflection but dark enough to not show the brown color. Then by using a medium aperture of f/22, a slow shutter speed of 1/125 and an small desk light and low overhead flash I was able to create the image and slight reflection I was after and only having to take 4 frames to capture the images. Then it was off to CS3 to create the final product which you see here. Since I am a Veteran myself, the theme of the image & being close to Independence Day I want to dedicate today's entry to the Men & Woman of the "United States Armed Forces" for all of their sacrifices & dedication on a daily basis to preserve our way of life. Thank You
Bill Pador > I spotted this old crab / lobster ship off the coast of Seaside Heights NJ while in the ocean fishing. It was a very hot & hazy day that added a nice effect to the shore line making it seem like a heavy fog was rolling in, so I employed a B&W conversion and added a slight over exposure & contrast effect to wash out the scene and bring the eye toward the ship along with the barely visible shoreline as if the captain was trying to navigate his way back to land. I hope I was able to convey my thoughts with this one ~Bill~
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.
Bill Pador > This 300+ lb. Black Bear was photographed walking along Weldon Rd. in Jefferson NJ June 5, 2008. He was well behaved and not aggressive at all. I believe he was waiting for his chance to cross the road but once I spotted him and started to photograph several cars pulled over to watch this beautiful animal in it's nature state, after approx. 15 min. I guess he got tired of watching US and strolled off into the woods looking for some dinner. It was a very exciting experience for me as I had never been this close (approx. 30') to such a large bear before. Just a wonderful adrenaline rush was had by all. . . 'Bill'
Bill Pador > A New Digital Art Technique I just learned today called PLANET, used primarily on Panoramic & wide angle shots some very interesting effects can be had using this technique. Some pretty neat stuff. More to come with this one that's for sure.
