A Good Ol' Texas Revival
I drove down to Houston this weekend to meet some friends, and I took my time about it, so I might find a few things here or there. Well, I found a bunch!
The sun started to set as I was approaching Brenham (home of Blue Bell Ice Cream, as a few of you dessert-lovers like me already know), I came across a Roadside Revival!
So, those of you from overseas or those not familiar with the Christian sects and various mathic practices of arks in the south may never have heard of a revival. These usually feature a firebrand ENTJ, who, happens to share the same Myers-Briggs as yours truly, and a happenstance clustering of believers who come to testify amidst fellow revelers, gesticulating about as 18-wheelers rumble along in the background.

First! :D
Just kidding - except that I'm not.
That 12-24mm rocks!
Edit: This is so excellent viewed large.
Hope you're enjoying the holidays, T.

Superb HDR!!!

You know for 16mm on full frame this doesn't seem to have much distortion at all. Actually looks pretty good.

Extra - yes it is a new lens - the nikkor 12-24 seems to have much less distortion than my sigma 10-20 mm

hahaha - I love the Myers- Briggs comment. Nice shot good use of the wide angle and the sky supports the whole theme. I was married tot the minister's daughter -- "Firebrand" is a good choice of term. That was a long time ago. In NY state and Michigan, no desert but reveling none the less. You don't see as many of these up there but they are there too.

Revival huh? Well, the picture is nicely taken.... (^^)

12-24 or 14-24? 12-24 would be wasting the D3X's full frame abilities, no?
Anyhow, this is stellar, especially when viewed LARGE. Very nice.

Just love the great HDR with the D3x!! ;-)

Very nice. The clouds really create a duality between what is said and what is implied.

Awesome imagery my friend!

I would have thought your typical firebrand would have an MBTI of ESFJ. NT is typical of scientists and rational types.

Sensational image!

was this done with photomatix or HDR MAX?
mliebenberg (53 months ago | reply)
hehe... excellent capture Trey. It looks like the Revival has dissipated! You have to love those clouds. Wonderful detail with the new lens and camera dude!
Just check that trailer in the background ... looks like it has been ripped apart from below!

Super shot Trey - love the sky!
Cheryl Lynn (sunnysideup79) (53 months ago | reply)
Brilliant colors and also very crisp in the details without being oversharp! I especially like that the scene is deserted, which leaves one to wonder what it must have looked like when it was full of people =)

Sometimes it's just good to get out and mix in with the country folks. Most of the time they are so welcoming and love some fresh eyes! Like this image Trey! There is just not enough of that down home country attitude any more; the world has become so closed off and varies so significantly on personal levels these days. My philosophy has always been, "Mi Casa es Su Casa". This image just goes to show that no matter how small communities are, they have such big hearts!

Nicely composed -with the tent on the foreground helping to enhance the sense of depth- and great sky.
A thousand thanks for your comments!
