NeilPas' photostream  

so the theme this week is "Concentrated Colour/Color" for the Creatively Challenged group. We are to try to take photos that mainly consist of one color.

I propose white as my concentrated color. However my problem is that white is obtained by summations of light intensity across the visible spectrum. So this may be the most colorful shot I've ever taken...

This is my take on the week 8 them of Landscape. This was a difficult theme for me because I take a lot of landscape shots and wanted something atypical of my regular landscape shot. Most of my landscapes have been in nature and I've purposely (for the most part) tried to steer clear of the typical "Vegas" scene. So here is a typical "Vegas" scene, which is not typical for me (confused yet?)

Oh..why are there no people in the shot in the busy downtown Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas? (you may ask) - this is what it looks like around 5 am.

Get Pushed - round 18

Imani Danielle (check her stream out) gave me the following challenge..." Well your stream is really loaded, but I looked through a bunch of pages and noticed you have great editing skills! But here's your challenge, take a photo and DO NOT edit it. It's a simple challenge but I am never satisfied enough to share most of my pictures so good luck :]"

Here it is - no cropping, editing, nada (though I may have liked to clean up some of the pollen on the surface and maybe some other stuff)...

spoilers:
taken with a macro lens. the long exposure allowed me to move the external light source around the wilted amaryllis flower for the back-lit effect.

Happy President's Day!

Myra got me this shirt for Valentines day - its now my favorite shirt...and to think that I only got her perfume and chocolates...

The remote for my D300S is acting up. I changed the batteries and still no success, so I'll have to eBay another. With no remote and not having the timer available for this shot (since I did a 9 exposure HDR)...I was Forced to use other methods...

on an aside - I think this is one of the longest stretches that I've kept my facial hair...any advice on whether it should stay or go?
