I tried my hand at lighting the car during bright sunlight hours recently having seen many great examples of on here. This is how it turned out..
Very interested to hear what you think to it, and any crit on it.
Lit with a single 430ex flash moved around the car, multiple exposures merged in PS

Due to long-term poor health I'm unable to take on new contacts but do my best to reply to comments. Thank you so much for your interest, comments and favours on my photostream. Also for your good wishes. I send you joy and peace.
That bitty rowhouse sure is cute. Wheeling is full of handsome old homes, and not enough places to stop and photograph them! (We were sort of hustling to get home, too.)
Had a nice evening on the porch, just enjoying the gorgeous light :)

Touching the Sun
"-To touch the infinite is the desire by all who've seen the stars, moon, and sun, for they are true wonders and those seemingly 'impossibilities'.-"
Spent the week trying to do the seemingly impossible...focus on my boring English paper.
Oof is all I can say...it was so hard focusing on it...oof...at least I have my Sunka (puppy) and Nimmy (kitty)..oo, and my new pony, Grace <3
We went to Englishman River Falls Park on Vancouver Island hoping to get good shots of the falls. While the water levels were too low, the sun was magical in the forest.
Cascade, Reflected Sunlight. Yosemite National Park, California. June 28, 2010. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Sunlight reflects on granite ledges next to cascades on Tenaya Creek.
In this iteration of the "blurry-fast-moving-water-in-Sierra-creek" photograph, I was looking to cram a variety of elements into the frame - as you can see, the entire photograph is not filled with water. There is a transition from white water with flashes of sunlit light at the tops of the waves, through the water with smaller areas of foam, to water reflecting the golden late afternoon light from a cliff face on the other side of the creek, to some bits of streamside granite slabs along the lower right edge of the frame. To me, these areas of shallow water and wet rock reflecting more distant light almost have a molten quality.
One of the trickiest things about this photograph for me was dealing with the strong contrast between very blue tones in the shaded parts of the water and the very warm tones of the reflections. As every photographer knows, the light in shade can be very blue, especially when the subject is supposed to be white and is lit almost entirely by the blue sky, as is the case in parts of the turbulent water. Adjustments are necessary in order to make it look realistic and conform with the colors that our eyes tell are are there. (Our vision system is remarkable... but it is not objectively accurate!) But adjustments to the blue water, if applied to the warm tones of the reflecting granite, can end up looking bizarre and overdone in the opposite direction!

This is an image from the last Santa Cruz area shoot with good friend MattyD90 at Natural Bridges State Beach. You can find a couple others a few uploads back.
The photographer in the shot must be the one and only J Stanton because I don't recall anybody else with a tripod. We didn't really meet, but I guess "close" counts with horseshoes, hand-grenades, and introducing oneself. Haha. Anyway, it was a very pleasant excursion, to be sure.
Thanks for having a look!
Grass not quite as sharp as I would have liked, so I'll put this down as one of my 'nearly' shots. Oh well!
tell me do the people all take care of you
did you doubt the curve of the earth
and every word, every word
i'll bet you heard
so i sketched all day and made a set for the "ghost" pictures.
The Hiils next to the Athens Riviera
All over Attica there are Hills and Mountains. The trees are usually Pines and are very sensitive to summer fires often caused by humans.

So che questa foto non è il massimo (è fatta dal finestrino di un autobus in movimento) ma è l'unico scatto che sono riuscita a fare per descrivere "La distesa piatta del mare calmo che sembra sorridere quando un raggio di sole, posandosi, sembra correrci sopra"
"Aeneadum genetrix, hominum divumque voluptas,
alma Venus, caeli subter labentia signa
quae mare navigerum, quae terras frugiferentis
concelebras, per te quoniam genus omne animantum
concipitur visitque exortum lumina solis:
te, dea, te fugiunt venti, te nubila caeli
adventumque tuum, tibi suavis daedala tellus
summittit flores, tibi rident aequora ponti
placatumque nitet diffuso lumine caelum." Lucrezio, De rerum natura 1, 1-9
"...te, dea, te fuggono i venti, te le nubi del cielo
e il tuo arrivo, sotto di te la terra operosa soavi
fiori distende, a te sorridono le distese del mare
e, rasserenato, il cielo risplende di luce diffusa."
