Picture of the day! by you!

[mikepmcs]

Can't really find a good picture to do the fake miniature with.  The trick is to be well above the subject and not to zoom in too much. I just started doing this so most of my exposures are set up for HDR process.  I have a few ideas for some mini pictures but I have to get the church in town to let me get up in the Belfry so I can take pics of my buddy Danny's shop across the street.  I think that will make a good one with cars in the front and stuff.

Kind of looks like that Cemetary in 1968's Night of the Living Dead set in Pennsylvania   LEON.



They going to get you Martha

back to normal.....

That's my favorite cemetery shot! I was never a fan of the cold blue-tint ones, too common/gothic.

[mikepmcs]

Thanks Finn. 

I guess I have to agree with you on that one and I have gone the sephia/blue/black&white route thinking at the time that it was the thing to do. Heck, I might have even posted a couple up here.  Nowadays you gotta stray from the norm and I'm trying to break my own habits and to look outside the box.  You can see I'm still pretty conventional but little by little I'm getting there. 
I'm looking towards submitting some pics to istockpohoto and shutterstock to see if I can join the royalty crowd but obviously they are saturated(punny) with nature and the like. Would be cool if Getty saw my stuff and sad come on in but Getty Images and Corbis are the "epitome of excellence" as Vern used to say.(the celebrity of the photo world basically)
Anyway, I'll just keep putzin along and maybe someday I can turn this in to more than a hobby. Never been too smart on the business end of things.

3 or 4 years ago I posted pics of a dump truck/ trailer combo flipped here, same exact spot. had been full of gravel.
last week another guy does the same thing,    got the pic on the cell phone while driving, lucked out on the spacing between cars in oncoming traffic that could have blocked the shot, (and in not crashing myself, heh)

[The70RT]

Looks like it's hard to make a wide turn there and that 12" curb does it's job   

[SeattleCharger]

I guess so.  also, its called the w. seattle freeway, though speed limit is 35, and its at least a 90 degree turn, you gotta slow down a lot to make it, and hope you don't get rear ended, so people tend to take it a little fast I would say,  don't know about the dump trucks though, what is causing it exactly.  you think he's going up on the wall a little cause it won't make the corner?    (found the last pics, the gravel blocked both lanes this other time) was digital camera while driving slower

[FLG]

WOW thats pretty good, both in the same spot. Maybe same guy too 

[mauve66]

yeah, the pup is so far back he's not getting it around that high curbing, a REAL truck driver would have blocked both lanes with his 4-ways on before he got there to properly facilitate the turn, bet no one from his company warned him before getting there the first time, bet he knows now

Nice. I hope I take half as nice photos tomorrow on the Cruise to Santa Cruz. I concur with Dave on this.

"Dude you're geekin me out" 

[SeattleCharger]

This is my first attempt.   sort of kept it mellow, if I tried to tweak it more, it would look to much, but I can't get quite the effect you did,  (obviously)

[SeattleCharger]

well, a little different than original
