Photo was taken in April of this year with a Nikon D200. Processed 2x, once as an HDR with 3 exposures and once with Topaz Simplify. The combination of the 2 is what you see here.
This photo was turning out to be a complex one with all the different colors. So i took the colors away.
Just experimenting with still life.
Inspiration from Edward Weston.

The Bund (simplified Chinese: 外滩; traditional Chinese: 外灘; Shanghainese: nga3thae1; Mandarin pinyin: Wàitān) is a waterfront area in central Shanghai. The area centres on a section of Zhongshan Road (East-1 Zhongshan Road) within the former Shanghai International Settlement, which runs along the western bank of the Huangpu River, facing Pudong, in the eastern part of Huangpu District. The Bund usually refers to the buildings and wharves on this section of the road, as well as some adjacent areas. It is one of the most famous tourist destinations in Shanghai. Building heights are restricted in this area.
Ma Ying-jeou (traditional Chinese: 馬英九; simplified Chinese: 马英九; Hanyu Pinyin: Mǎ Yīngjiǔ; Tongyong Pinyin: Ma Yingjiou; Wade-Giles: Ma Ying-chiu) (born July 13, 1950) is the incumbent President of the Republic of China. He is a former Justice Minister, a former Mayor of Taipei, and was the Chairman of the Kuomintang (KMT) from 2005 to 2007.
Ma was elected Mayor of Taipei in 1998 and re-elected in 2002. He was elected Chairman of the Kuomintang by party members on July 16, 2005. He announced his resignation on February 13, 2007 after being indicted by the Taiwan High Prosecutors Office on charges of misuse of Mayoral funds during his tenure as the mayor of Taipei - he was found not guilty in the first and second trials and the subsequent final appeal to the Supreme Court, thereby completely clearing him of any graft charges. Ma subsequently won the presidency in the ROC presidential election of 2008.[1] [2] and was sworn into office on May 20th, 2008.
Personal background
Ma was born in Hong Kong (Kwong Wah Hospital in Kowloon), then a British overseas territory, to father Ma Ho-ling from Xiangtan, Hunan (from his bio-grandfather) or Hengshan, Hunan (from his step-grandfather). When he was one year old, his family moved to Taiwan.
He earned a law degree from National Taiwan University in 1972. He completed additional studies in the United States, first earning an LL.M. from New York University Law School in 1976 and then an S.J.D. degree from Harvard Law School in 1981.
After receiving his LL.M., Ma briefly worked as an associate on Wall Street in New York.[3] Ma returned to Taiwan in 1981 to teach law.
Ma is married to Christine Chow with two daughters. Lesley (Ma Wei-chung, 馬唯中; born in 1981 in New York) was born when Ma was studying in the US; she is currently a graduate student at New York University, having completed her undergraduate work at Harvard University.[4][5] Ma's younger daughter, Kelly (Ma Yuan-chung, 馬元中), was born in Taiwan and is currently pursuing her undergradate studies at Brown University.
Ma speaks Mandarin Chinese and English fluently. Ma has also learned how to speak some Hakka and Taiwanese.[citation needed
Rise in politics
Ma Ying-jeou started working for President Chiang Ching-kuo after earning his S.J.D. first as an English translator and assistant. Ma was later promoted to the chair of the Research, Development, and Evaluation Commission under the Executive Yuan at the age of 38, becoming the youngest cabinet member in the ROC government.
Ma was deputy secretary-general of the KMT from 1984 to 1988, also serving for a period as deputy of the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC), a cabinet-level body in charge of cross-straits relations. President Lee Teng-hui appointed him ROC Justice Minister in 1993. Ma was relieved of his post in 1996. His supporters claim that firing was caused by his efforts at fighting corruption and has contributed to his clean image. Despite his efforts at anti-corruption, he remained a supporter of the Kuomintang rather than supporting the New Party which was formed by KMT supporters who campaigned on an anti-corruption platform. After a short stint as a minister without portfolio, Ma returned to academia, and most people at the time believed his political career to have effectively ended.

A door god (simplified Chinese: 门神; traditional Chinese: 門神; pinyin: ménshén) is a Chinese decoration placed on each side of an entry to a temple, home, business, etc., which is believed to keep evil spirits from entering.
When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.
~ Alexander Graham Bell
If we could discard knowledge and wisdom
Then people would profit a hundredfold;
If we could discard duty and justice
Then harmonious relationships would form;
If we could discard artifice and profit
Then waste and theft would disappear.
Yet such remedies treat only symptoms
And so they are inadequate.
People need personal remedies:
Reveal your naked self and embrace your original nature;
Bind your self-interest and control your ambition;
Forget your habits and simplify your affairs.
Two non-HDR shots in a row? It's madness!
This was taken on the road to the Sonoma coast this past Saturday. Again, I'm really impressed at how much detail I'm able to pull out of underexposed portions of my images with the 40D, but I'm thinking of looking into using flashes to light my foreground subjects when shooting into the sun. Any suggestions? I know practically nothing about flashes, lights, etc.
This is definitely a shot you need to view large to appreciate!
Oh, and can anyone name that plant? No clue what it's called.
