A few from this past fall of my buddy on his bobbed Honda Shadow (Spooky Hollow/Cincinnati)

Fog on the water on the Caney Fork River. East Tennessee. This river is crossed by Interstate 40 5 times in just a few miles,
and I always want to stop and take photos because every crossing is photogenic. But there is always a ton of traffic
behind me or I am in a hurry to avoid falling asleep at the wheel near my destination 10 hours away. But this time it was
raining and no one was on my butt and I felt I could give it a shot.

Great pictures everyone, nice to see more traffic in this thread!

Soon you guys will tell me to quit posting pics of London. Still got a lot more to process, so suck it up.

Damn I wish I was in London now. Nice shots Jeff.

Nothing but snow here.

MrClean · 02-15-2014, 01:53 PM

Love the pics of the snow Mark! The last one with the birdhouse is my favorite I think.

I like the one that looks like cotton bolls.

I went out last night, speaking of cotton, on the Arkansas side of the river. A Flickr friend wanted to go out
and shoot by the river, and it had come up a good bit since last time I was out there. At first I was apprehensive,
but there was no trouble with railroad maintenance two-track roads, outside of some mud that was avoidable.

I put a texture on this which I rarely do, and turned it B&W, too....scene just called for it.

Keep em coming

Well, when I say that my photo called out to be texturized, you can see here, that the photo and all that was before me
was basically sepia to begin with, just a tan landscape from hell.

So I fixed it up really good.

Abe is a nice touch.

iPhone pic of a gentleman reading and smoking up at HoC this past weekend. I felt awkward taking the pic but thought that him being backlit and pausing to look at his smoke was too good to pass up.

Not a groundbreaking pic by any means but it turned out better than I expected for a shoot-from-the-hip iphone pic. lol

MrClean · 02-17-2014, 02:08 PM

I like it Charlie, has a nice feel to it.

I needed to do more than find an old pic and cut him out, I needed to work on it and blend it well.
But I got distracted by WORK of all things and blew it off, haah. I also wanted it to stand out and thought
he might get lost if I made it too good.

I also like the phone shot...nice focus on the subject for a phone shot.

That's a long shot, Ron.....I mean, Sairtap.

Another river photo...

Memphis Bridges Sunset Flow - Nikon D7000 - Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G DX by Brad-(OLS), on Flickr

For those of you with Nikons, and not too many lenses, you might want to pay close attention to this listing:
http://www.adorama.com/US%20%20%20%20620147.html

When I see these this cheap, I usually BUY THEM, since I can always use a fast lens on hand that I can attach
to a body for sale or other use, rain, beach, etc. ANYWAY, at $54, this is a pretty SHARP lens and at a decent
portrait focal length for a crop sensor body. I would rather have the 35mm, but it is $174 used, so I back up 4 steps.
Normally I would say these things go FAST at $54, but many times its ME that buys em. But I only learned to buy
them so fast when I would THINK about it for ten minutes and it would be gone. SO if you want a good, fast,
cheap lens, jump on it now. It is in 'Very Good" condition, which some people would pause at, but I have generally
found their V classified stock to be pretty good. Its only at G that I tend to pass, unless its a D700 for $950.
