Weekly Photo Challenge #3

Lisa D and I were chatting about the portrait site she posted the other day on WL

http://www.dorongild.com/

and thought it might be a good weekly photo challenge topic; ie.  indoor portraits. 

Any other ideas?

On a totally unrelated topic, I was inspired to check for spider webs after looking at Keri's photos and

since we have tons of spiders here.....

No good web shots but here's a banana spider taken with my 100mm f2.8 lens using a monopod.

1/2000 af f2.8 - Here's a hint on exposure.  I knew my meter would over expose the spider's abdomen

given the dark background so I started with -1 stop.  Ended up at -2 and even then had to be darken it a bit

with PS.

Can we hold on the indoor portrait challenge for a weekish?

I'm a travelin' man...travelin' on down tha long an' lonesome hiiiiiii-way

Yes, I'm a travelllllllin' maaaaan

If we could hold off on the indoor portrait challenge I'd be able to participate when I get back from my cross-country journey.

 

How about a 'roadside' challenge? Photos taken from the edge you might say.

 I found this one to be rrepresentative -

Just axin'

 


Road Side Challenge

Sounds like a challenge to me.  Let's do it.

I'll upload it to my own site and see if that helps

Unfortunatly, I won't be able to do that for a day or so - I'm in Sikeston, MO as of 3am local, headed west at a not very dramatic pace.

 

I'll be photo graphing stuff enroute.

"X" marks the sport

The dreaded Red X is all I see as well, both at home and at work.  Weird.

My Week 3 Images

This is about 20 yards off

This is about 20 yards off a road. The road is not paved and goes by a four-digit FS road number, but technically I think it's still a road Innocent

Shot last Wednesday in the Ochoco NF (Silvies unit) with Fuji Superia 100, f1.7 at 1/30th (I think).
