Postby Pastor Gary » April 19th, 2008, 12:31 pm

For his birthday, my son asked for a dot-mac account, which we bought him, and he has posted an album of some of his photos there. I am proud of his eye and skills.

Very nice, but he doesn't have any of his excellent black and white work on there.

He doesn't like B&W digital very much. He said the tonal range is skewed or something... his B&W stuff is pretty much all film/paper/traditional photography.

Excellent, I particularly liked the one with the mist over the water and the trees in the background.

Sure did. The moon photo is part of a series he shot through the telescope at the college.

Having one of the best natural backdrops in the planet sure helps out! I know pro photographers that go to Hawaii and New Zealand to just spend a few weeks to take photos. Incredible scenes of natural beauty to be captured.

One guy in specific.. climbs to the top of some of the NZ peaks and just sets his camera to rapid fire and does a slow 360. He said.. it's got to be in there somewhere (incredible picture etc)!

Keep up the good work.

Backdrop

Postby Pastor Gary » April 20th, 2008, 6:51 am

Backdrop... It helps, but many of those shots were taken since he moved to the mainland, and the backdrop is Alabama, Arkansas, West Virginia, etc.

How can I get permission from him for a reprint of the moon photo? I love that shot, and my daughter has one of those National Geographic moon phase lights in her room. She will take it through its phases with the little remote control, and she enjoys talking about the moon and stars.

Thanks!
