Simple Click – Fall Baby Fall
The opening in the clouds lets just enough sun to peak through to dance on the falling snow. Gorgeous!
I Just Love Home!

We’re following the seasons again and it’s a ton of fun. We’re back home for 36hours and home gave us a grand welcome!

That’s fresh snow you see on the Sierra Crest. I know, I know, many don’t wanta see snow this early but I welcome it. There is nothing more gorgeous then fall color in fresh snow. The fall color hasn’t really started which means we’re going to have a spectacular fall. Simply Gorgeous! Oh yeah, these photos were taken from a moving vehicle through the window. A bad habit I have!

OK, I’ve been using it for some time but now you can too work in 64bit with Silver Efex Pro! and that’s BIG NEWS! All the B&W on the site for the last couple of months (unless there is a ACR reference) have been finished using my FAVORITE B&W pluggin, Silver Efex Pro. The video how to use it is on the home page. Don’t read this any further, go, get it, finish images, enjoy the world of B&W!

The light came out and so did the color. We headed down Hwy112 to a couple of our favorite vista and rocked the house! Simply gorgeous. I just love this kind of landscape photography, telephoto. I simply look through the viewfinder, slowly pan the hillside looking for great patterns and go click. Just stunning!

This is where long lens technique came into play though. We had quite a wind and the only way to make the shot was to keep that lens from bucking. Finishing was real simple, add a little black in ACR and done. I just love this simple kind of shooting.

To Include or Not Include?
One of the very cool locations we’re going to share with the DLWS gang this week is this old train trestle. In while, while you’re reading this, we’re out shooting and having fun, wish you were with us. As you can see, I didn’t wait for the group, I shoot the trestle while scouting. Here’s my issue, do I include the V joint or not?
What’s the subject? What’s the design? What shows the age and depth? I don’t have the answer yet. I took it both ways because I don’t and I will be pondering that question until I reshoot it. Yeah, I will reshoot it to answer this question and go back with a PC-E lens to clean up all the lines I can. I love a challenge!

There’s Color in Fall Color

“What color, you turned it into B&W!” Well, B&W and all the shades of gray are color to me and when the right “fall color” images provides me with all those colors in the B&W spectrum, I go for it!
How did I get the B&W? The answer is in our video library, look under digital darkroom, Silver Efex Pro! It works magic and I just love its magic. Clean, simple and fast, what more can you ask for from a software/pluggin?! And what’s required in a good B&W? A clean black and a clean white, where, how and how much is up to you!
