Saturday was a rare cool, partly cloudy day in Phoenix, so I took the opportunity to go downtown and take some pictures. C&C welcome and encouraged!

Nice stogs!...you have some very usable contest entries in there as well.

 

That's one great shoot man. Good work! I'd love to see #3 and #6 in a high contrast B&W.

 

Thanks! I actually used a different one from the same excursion for the contest.

 

Thanks! Any places for an online tutorial of how best to do this? I have LR and CS3.

 

6 looks great, but what is it? Just a way overbuilt gate?

 

Yup! There was a bunch of water/electrical accesses behind it for the building it was recessed into.

 

 

Very nice!! I really like the last picture.

 

Neat...I didn't know you were a 90 year old war vet....

 

Haha.

Actually, that guy was standing outside of a Masonic Temple smoking, and I talked to him for a few minutes and took his picture before he had to go back in for the secret meeting to figure out how to keep the metric system down.

 

what.. no pictures of hot white bitches? FAIL!

jk.. great picture

 

Thanks

something just arrived in the mail that may help with that endeavor

 

o'rly?

 

New toy thread posting/equipment posting before the day is over...

Thanks Drigo! Wish I had my tripod with me to give you a run for your money on the HDR thing! We had clouds, and that never happens...
