Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum - Photography Thread

Brad, how did you get those smooth tonalities in the sky? I didn't see the digital artifact usually found in smooth gradations. Oh yeah, it's gorgeous, too!

Not sure what to say, Subvet, the sky was just that way, and the sensor on the camera must be good.
"I only use Nikons", lol. Shooting at the break of dawn through sunrise might be offering benefits I can't explain.
By the way, not sure if you caught my post in the non-cigar retailers thread, that if you want to order a cigar
print, you get a free one with purchase, because you ordered prints from me before I had my 5hi+ fully together.
Not sure how well taken care of you were given that fact.

Re: Photography Thread

Here is a shot I gathered last night at a gig in Memphis. I rode around town trying to hit 3 separate gigs,
and the entire night was a comedy of errors, until I got to a safe haven of sorts, the Center for Southern Folklore,
where what i do is FULLY appreciated. I got poked with a cover charge at one place I used to do really nice work in helping
them publicize, so I left there instead of paying. Was at another gig that was an evening to raise funds for the NIBI Walk,
a Water project with some native Americans to renew the Ohio River. I waited 40 mins for them to start (late) and then by
the time the show started, they said "No photos, please". WTF? LOL, no skin off my nose, it just surprised me. I think they
meant no photos of the Native Ceremonies, but I didn't stick around to find out, they already had me late. but then I just
decided to go to the CFSF downtown.

The one with the perfect orange bokeh is suitable for printing and selling. NICE photo.

Thanks Brad. The only good things about the ice storm were the photo opportunities. I have at least a couple of weekends' worth of tree damage to clean up once the snow, and ice melts a bit.

Jeff, thanks for all the London stuff. Was supposed to be stationed in England, but was sent to North Carolina instead.
NICE, but not the same. Always wanted to go. People there are cool.

More photos from this great night of music. SO POORLY promoted that I was basically the only person in the small venue.
I think the manager/promoter needs to think harder about how she handles her gigs.

I love this photo.....not TOO MUCH zoo showing, but enough to make it just another animal shot. A great one, sure, but just another one.... ;)

I am very tasty, Ben....

Sunrise is coming down in New Aw-LEANS. The river is low here, I never saw a sand bar there.
I understand it is REALLY LOW now. Won't be long, though that thaw will be rollin down the river.
