After months of trying I finally got a photo in the “Picture This!” section.

First Aid

Shot with Nikon D2Xs full sunlight and ISO 250.

First Aid

I finally broke down and purchased the Nik Complete Collection of filters for Photoshop. I have used Silver Efex Pro for a long while and I’m so sold on the idea you can create control points and really do a lot of detailed editing with out constantly worrying about sliders and dials but just the photograph.

I really like playing with selective use of color. Back in the “old days” I would hand tint prints and also create prints on film as positives and put different colors behind them to create differrent looks. Don’t know what that says about me! I will get back to the part 2 on At and the chair photo in a couple of days. I’ve had some interesting comments made by folks who have seen the real print that I feel will be interesting to all.

And yes, the 1st aid sign was blue.

Face

This is one of the most unusual pieces of graffiti I have ever seen. I shot it as an HDR image but this is just a straight RAW single image shot with my Nikon D2Xs.

Tracks and Elevator

I went down to Southwest Blvd in Kansas City, KS to visit an area that use to be a large train yard for Union Pacific. There’s not much left down there except an old grain elevator (still in use). I also went to the West Bottoms tp get some truck trailer shots and was very luck to get a cool shout of a UP train going by. I’ll post these photos over the next few days.
